One of the "Three Crows" along with Yamabe Toshiro and Keizo Suzuki (and later Takeo Kajiwara).
Even though he was known more for his controversial acts, such as having a bad drinking habit, the most important thing that shone through about Fujisawa was his Go skill.
Fujisawa went on to surprise critics as he won the Kisei title six straight years from 1976 to 1982.
It has been said that during these Kisei runs in the 1970s and 1980s, Fujisawa would drink for nine months straight, then sober up for his title defense late in the year.
[1] By 1980, nobody thought anyone else but Fujisawa would win the Kisei, but that was silenced when he finally lost it to Cho Chikun in 1982.
It looked like Fujisawa would hold the Kisei for the seventh year in a row, but Cho fought back and won the last four games, as Fujisawa made a blunder in a winning position in the seventh game.
He was known to play a very flexible fuseki but was infamous for making blunders (poka) later in the game.
Many of the greatest China players including Nie Weiping, Chen Zude, Chang Hao, Ma Xiaochun were deeply influenced by Fujisawa.
