Shinji Fujiyoshi was never really a "top star", but he played a strong role on several teams over the course of his career and might have posted even more impressive personal statistics if he had played for stronger teams. After starting his career at Verdy Kawasaki, in their two title seasons, Fujiyoshi moved first to Kyoto Purple Sanga and then to Vegalta Sendai, carrying much of the offensive load for both teams during years whan both teams were mediocre at best. At times it might have seemed a thankless task, but Fujiyoshi was an exemplary player throughout his career, providing a positive example for his teammates and demonstrating a fierce competitive spirit.
