Toshio Fujiwara

Toshio Fujiwara (藤原 敏男 "Fujiwara Toshio", born March 3, 1948) is a well known Japanese former kickboxer who teaches at his own gym, Fujiwara Gym, in Tokyo. His most famous student in recent years is Satoshi Kobayashi, but many other well known kickboxers and mixed martial artists have also trained with him.

Out of 141 professional fights before retiring at age 35, Fujiwara won 123, with a remarkable 99 by knockout. Most notably, he was the first non-Thai to win a national muay thai title belt in Bangkok, a fact that many older Thais still remember and respect about him. Fujiwara became the first ever non-Thai stadium champion in 1978 when he won the lightweight title at Rajadamnern Stadium.
