Tatsumi Fujinami 55th anniversary celebrations

Overview

Professional wrestler Tatsumi Fujinami, leader of the Dragition promotion, is organizing events to commemorate his 55th anniversary in the sport.

In late September, it was announced that a ‘Hounou Pro Wrestling’ event would be held at the Torikai Hachimangu Shrine in Fukuoka on October 3, 2026. This event, which includes children’s classes and dedication matches, is intended to honor both Fujinami’s career and the recent reconstruction of the shrine, drawing historical parallels to Rikidozan’s 1961 event at Yasukuni Shrine.

Following this, the promotion Dragon announced the match card for the ‘TATSUMI FUJINAMI 55th CELEBRATION DRAGON EXPO 2026’ at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on November 6. The main event features Fujinami teaming with Zack Sabre Jr. against Wolf Aaron and Tatsuya Matsumoto. The card also includes matches celebrating Mitsuya Nagai’s 35th anniversary and a single match featuring Fujinami’s son, LEONA.
