AKIYAMA Kazuhiko achieved KANZENSEIHA (total victory) in SASUKE #04.
He has had varying levels of success since, primarily due to failing eyesight. Before becoming a crab fisherman, he was in the Japan Self-Defense Forces where he took up Greco-Roman wrestling. In 2005 his height and weight was recorded at 5 feet, 3 inches and 123 pounds. He made his debut in the 2nd competition where he wore #100 because he holds the Quick Muscle record with 307 push-ups, and between then and the 17th competition, he only missed the 5th. Akiyama announced a retirement from Sasuke after the 17th competition to focus on his fatherhood and work, but then he returned to Sasuke to compete in Sasuke 20, ultimately failing on the 1ST Stage's Halfpipe Attack. As of 2008, Akiyama has completed the 1ST Stage 6 times, the 2ND Stage 3 times, the 3RD Stage and the FINAL Stage once.
