Granted that could serve as the entire entry, but there was no great tragedy in Fujiwara's life that turned him to a life of crime. He fell with a group that prided themselves on being fancy, hence the insistence on being addressed as 'Mister" and the full tux and tails.
He went through a lot of partners in the 70's but by the 80's he had taken the que from Captain Lou and started offering his services as a manager and general advisor. He was prolific often having more clients than his competitors, which also served to make him very unpopular.
He and Don Muraco tried to break into acting for a bit in the late 80's, leading to some cult classic tv like FUJI VICE but in the end he went back to crime. He finally retired and tried to open a Fuji themed series of dojos but they didn't exactly set any world records.
