Biography[]
Hayato Fujisawa was born in Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan in 1960, and he moved to Tokyo during the 1980s and found part-time work at the Pocket Circuit Stadium in Kabukicho. He became notable for his fiery commentary and became beloved by the children, and he was nicknamed the "Pocket Circuit Fighter". In 1989, he befriended the yakuza Kazuma Kiryu when Kiryu chanced upon the stadium and went on to become the fastest pocket circuit racer in Kabukicho. For the next sixteen years, Fujisawa struggled to break out of his part-time job, failing the written test for the full-time position. In 2005, he became engaged with a woman, but he was pressured by her family into finding a full-time job, and, with Kiryu's help, he found a successor in his former protege Takuma Oshita before taking over his family's well-established tofu business back in Hiroshima. He grew distant from his son Sakito after enrolling him in English classes and neglecting to see his son, but, after a chance reunion with Kiryu in 2016, he reconciled with his son and began to spend more quality time with him. He later moved to the Isezakicho district of Yokohama, where he ran a Dragon Kart racing game as a receptionist.
