2 | Minoru Fujita (born September 5, 1977) is a UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}ese {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er, possibly one of the most storied indy wrestlers in Japan. He debuted for Big Japan Pro Wrestling in 1997, but soon diversified towards a variety of other promotions, including Wrestling/MichinokuProWrestling, Wrestling/{{Battlarts}}, Kaientai Dojo, Tokyo Pro Wrestling, Mexican promotions (where he became the fourth original member of Nosawa Rongai's Tokyo Gurentai) and even Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, playing always the gimmick of a young junior punk willing to challenge anybody in any style. In 2004, he found finally his niche in Wrestling/ProWrestlingZERO1, where he developed as a wrestler by becoming Wrestling/IkutoHidaka's tag team partner and passing years of exciting junior ventures, extending to Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling and Wrestling/FightingOperaHUSTLE, until leaving for a change in 2011. He returned to work as a roaming freelancer since, having developed a reputation as one of the most consistent all-terrain wrestlers in Japan. To put it simple, there are not many things in Japanese professional wrestling that Minoru Fujita hasn't done. |

6 | !! "Deceiving Tropes": |
7 | * TheApprentice: To Kazuo Sakurada, Wrestling/YoshihiroTajiri, and Wrestling/TakaMichinoku. |
8 | * AttentionWhore: His penchant to appear in any promotion and challenge anybody obeys to this. |
9 | * BashBrothers: With Nosawa and Mazada (in Tokyo Gurentai), Wrestling/IkutoHidaka (collectively known as Skull & Bones) and later with Takuya Sugawara. |
10 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: After his return to Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, he demanded to face heavyweights instead of juniors like him. Cue to Yutaka Yoshie, Blue Wolf and Wrestling/KensukeSasaki squashing him. |
11 | * BoringButPractical: Has no flashy or spectacular moves, prefering holds and drivers, which is part of why he adapts so well to every company. |
12 | * BrattyHalfPint: His gimmick as a young wrestler, something admittedly pretty common in puroresu. He and Gran Naniwa also quit Wrestling/MichinokuProWrestling because they were tired of doing dojo boy chorus. |
13 | * ChallengeSeeker: A big part of his gimmick. He will appear of nowhere to challenge anybody, regardless of whether he has any chance against him. |
14 | * ConspicuousGloves: One of his personal trademarks was wearing black leather gloves (full ones, not fingerless gloves) during his matches. He dropped it after many years. |
15 | * DelinquentHair: Dyed with a blond stripe and with a punk hairdo. |
16 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Despite starting his training with Big Japan Pro Wrestling, his debut match was at a WAR event against Masanobu Kurisu. |
17 | * FinishingMove: |
18 | ** When he goes for impact finishers, he will use Sasuke Damashii Segway (Akira Hokuto's Northern Lights Bomb, only with the opponent's arm in a cutthroat hold), Sasuke Segway (a DDT version of the Sasuke Damashii Segway) and Sayonara (a tombstone piledriver, screaming "[opponent's name], sayonara!" before doing it). |
19 | ** When he goes for a sub, he uses the BONEYARD (reverse viper hold, or a sort of sideways single Boston crab/facelock combination). |
20 | ** He parodied Wrestling/TakaMichinoku by using the Fujita Driver (Michinoku Driver II), also renaming the Sasuke Damashii Segway as Fujita Driver II. |
21 | * TheGenericGuy: He is an allrounder wrestler with a classical indy puroresu punk gimmick. You cannot get more generic than that. |
22 | * IHaveManyNames: |
23 | ** Has wrestled as Minoru Fujita, FUJITA, Fujita MINORU, Fujita Mi-taro, The Great Minoru Fujita, HERO!, Minoru Fukimoto, Red Onigumo, Segodon #2 and Yattsuke #1. |
24 | ** Ironically, for someone with so many ring names, he's often mistaken by a Seidokaikan karateka also named Minoru Fujita. |
25 | * [[IKnowKarate I Know Amateur Wrestling]]: In high school. |
26 | * JackOfAllStats: His moveset is very varied and has little stylistic focus, although he does have a penchant for drivers. |
27 | * RedBaron: "Damashii Tamashii" ("Deceiving Soul"). |
