75 years old (Born on April 27, 1949)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Yoshiaki Fujiwara! You've grappled your way through New Japan Pro Wrestling and Universal Wrestling Federation, leaving opponents tapping out faster than fans can chant your name. Your iconic submission holds have become wrestling folklore—rumor has it some wrestlers still wake up sweating from nightmares of facing you in the ring!From pioneering shoot-style wrestling to mentoring countless talents, you've truly done it all with style (and a mischievous grin). May this birthday bring as much joy as watching an opponent realize they're trapped in one of your signature armbar submissions. Here's wishing you another year filled with victories—and fewer bruises!
