The first Magic superstar from Japan ... First Japanese player to make a Pro Tour Top 8, blazing a trail for many more to come ... One of the game's most influential deck designers ...

TSUYOSHI FUJITAPROFILE
When Tsuyoshi Fujita squared off with Zvi Mowshowitz in the finals of Pro Tour–Tokyo, it was a momentous occasion. It may seem shocking to imagine a time when Japan was not one of the dominating forces on the competitive Magic scene, but before Tsuyoshi's Top 8 turn no Japanese player had ever played beyond Saturday at the Pro Tour level.
"It doesn't feel real. It's much more like some kind of dream," was Tsuyoshi's reaction at the time of crossing the Top 8 threshold. Since that appearance he has gone on to make the Top 8 of three Pro Tours in his career (including another finals finish), reached the Top 8 of a dozen Grand Prix tournaments, and been the Japanese National Champion in 2004.
Tsuyoshi is 10th on the all-time money list and 11th on lifetime Pro Points, tops among all Japanese players. Tsuyoshi became one of the first Japanese players to travel outside of his region for Grand Prix competition and is widely recognized as one of the game's great deckbuilders. His Sneak Attack deck for Grand Prix–Seattle was one of the most unexpected decks that season and his refined Goblin Bidding deck that won Grand Prix–Bangkok became an industry standard.
When asked which of his Magic accomplishments stands out most, Fujita was quick to show his trademark humor: "Spreading the fame of 'Go Anan' and his decks throughout the world!"
"All kidding aside, I am really happy when I think about how many people use my decks and how well they perform," he said. "Including Kuroda's win at Kobe, ever since Tokyo all of my Block Constructed decks have made Top 32 at a Pro Tour. Thinking about it objectively, if I may say so myself, that's pretty amazing."
Fujita's Pro Tour career began at the 1998 World Championships when he finished 99th—the highest placing by any Japanese player in the tournament. He went on to post a Top 64 and Top 32 during the following season before blazing a Top 8 trail that would become well-worn by the likes of Masashi Oiso, Kenji Tsumura, Tomoharu Saito, Shuhei Nakamura, and Masashiro Kuroda.
Fujita says that a certain Hall of Famer played a big role in his development as a Magic player.
"Back when Jon Finkel was in his prime, all the good American players were strong. I mean, really strong. I fell in love with them. Around the time Finkel won Worlds in Belgium, I was seriously thinking about enrolling in a study-abroad program so I could go to the U.S. and study Magic with him and the other pros."
There is little doubt that Fujita will be sitting down for the first round of action at this year's event. His monoblue Pickles build from Pro Tour–Yokohama nearly got Masahiko Morita his first Top 8 and has become one of the dominating archetypes of this Block Constructed season. He is the only player from this year's class who already had Level 3 status and he will also be playing in Valencia, where he will no doubt have an exciting deck in store.
"I have always been a competitive person," Fujita admits. "I love playing hardcore with other people. So, to me, Magic is the ultimate hobby.
"It may even be the most important thing in my life."

TSUYOSHI FUJITACAREER HIGHLIGHTS
- Tsuyoshi cut his competitive teeth on the Grand Prix circuit with Top 8 finishes in Kyoto and Taipei during the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 seasons.
- Tsuyoshi became the first Japanese player to step onto the Sunday stage at the Pro Tour when he reached the finals of Pro Tour–Tokyo 2001, blazing a trail for a wave of dominating Japanese performances.
- Tsuyoshi is the leading Japanese Pro in terms of money won and lifetime Pro Points. He is 10th on the all time money-winners list and 11th all-time on the Pro Points list.
- Tsuyoshi reached the Top 8 of a Pro Tour three different times and making it to the Finals twice (along with a heartbreaking ninth-place finish at Pro Tour–Philadelphia).
- Tsuyoshi's dozen Grand Prix Top 8 finishes are punctuated by two victories, including his win in Bangkok in 2003 with Goblin Bidding. The way that deck transformed Standard in the wake of that event helped to solidify Fujita's reputation as one of the game's great deck designers.
- Tsuyoshi was the Japanese National Champion in 2004, once again playing Goblins.
- One of the most influential deck builders in the history of the game, Tsuyoshi had a hand in another landmark moment in Japanese Magic when he built Masashiro Kuroda's Pro Tour Kobe-winning Big Red deck.
- Tsuyoshi has a restless deck design quality that leads him to play with different and unexpected decks. When he made the Top 8 of Grand Prix–Seattle playing a Sneak Attack deck, he became a fan favorite designer.
- Tsuyoshi reached the finals of the Magic Invitational in 2006 playing a rareless Standard deck which he designed with budget-conscious players in mind.
- In 2005 Tsuyoshi submitted Unluckyman's Paradise as his Invitational card and it was voted upon by Magicthegathering.com readers to be developed. The card eventually saw print as Gemstone Caverns.
