The entry of a procession of sexy Touhou cosplayers delighted a crowd of thousands, but the action really heated up when the lead cosplayer’s top came off completely, exposing bare breasts for all to see – Reimu’s lithe body and graceful moves soon resulted in total victory, driving onlookers wild.
Professional cosplayer and occasional kickboxer Yuichiro Jienotsu Nagashima‘s bombastic entry into the K-1 WorldMax 70kg Japan Tournament presaged his crushing victory over his opponent, whoever he was, and the win sees him seize the championship belt and ¥5,000,000 in prize money.
The match and the rather more interesting pre-match cosplay showboating:
Jienotsu’s cosplay repertoire is now growing rather large, with his superb array of female costumes perhaps hampered only by his very obvious masculinity:
Just how long will one of the nation’s manliest sports continue to be so dominated by a man in skirt?
It's just me or he's kinda cute cosplaying? not being gay and stuff. But he seems very modest and even shy, making his entrances. He's not laughing or mocking. He's almost didn't smile. I could believe he lacks of self-confidence.
In the opening, it's driving me crazy that I can't remember/find out where I've heard that song before. It's the one that sounds like "betan betan zuru betan". Wtf is that song?
I almost fell for it, but I had already seen the K1Max watermark on the screen caps, and I don't remember the last time I saw a girl in K-1.
The girls looked like they were enjoying the fight. Surely such pretty girls cheering him on is what gave him enough stamina to go on.
Also, this could be just a marketing fad to get more audience. They want more audience, they target a specific demographic, otaku in this case, and then put something in the "show" to make otaku want to watch it.
And for the record, something very similar happened in Thailand, where a man dressing as a girl and wearing make up in the ring crushed all of his opponents. His name is Nong Toom, and he changed genders when he retired, so is now a She. He's probably the best Muay Thai fighter ever
Oh shi-! Senjougahara Yuichiro!! His opponents' lucks will surely run out by the time he pulls out staplers and all kind of sharp stationaries from his boxers!!
The guy draws in a crowd when he cosplays if it wouldn't be for Yuichiro Jienotsu Nagashima there would be no New Japan Kickboxing Federation the guy promotes himself so well enough even Otaku's fans would pay to see this guy fight to see what he going to Cosplay.
The check he's holding is 5 million yen, which is like 5,500 USD ... a lot less than the 5 million pounds sterling in the article. I'd guess that this was a simple typo on the behalf of Artefact.
I'd hope that was obvious considering it was written on the cheque. In case you were wondering £ is right next to ¥ on my special characters keyboard. It was bound to happen.
Please... Jap MMA is like the "double a" of the world. Not even "minor league level"..
Jap's loose so fucking badly and quickly to western fighters it's absurd. That's why when western fighters go to Japan to get some easy wins on their MMA record it's not worth much anymore..
I hope he inspires more cosplayers to start boxing (or more boxers to start cosplaying). I would love to see a boxing tournament where all the competitors are in cosplay.
I saw a great Youtube vid where a couple of drunken British yobs were wandering down a crowded street trying to pick fights with people. Suddenly, a perfect target appeared! Two chunky transvestites! An approach was made, words exchanged, and drunken yob #1 threw a punch. About 0.5 seconds later he was one the ground, knocked unconscious. The two chunky transvestites were a couple of K1 fighters going to a costume party.
It was a thing of beauty to see. (The beatdown, not the chunky K1 cross-dressers.)
Yuichi Nakamura, the seiyuu of some badass male protagonist.
Eri Kitamura & Yukari Tamura, the seiyuu of most adorable loli character.
I approve those ranking.... More

This guy is the Fedor of cosplay fighters.
The guy seriously sucks.
no you suck
Fap
Nagashima Pope!!!

Search for Tsurupettan
Got tricked again
His next opponent should be Man Faye.
Trolled again. D:
I'm really happy for his win. Go otaku power!
Lol it's Cho-Marisa.
Hey it could be worse they could have got the sumo wrestlers to cosplay.
I haven't seen Yuichiro in a while...
Glad to know he cosplays Touhou as well...
God, somebody stop that man.
My eyes
¬¬
is disgusting
The Suika is hot!!!
♪ "Pettan pettan tsurupettan..." ♪
Pettan indeed...
Oh wait... I believe he's still considered too "large" for the average DFC standard.
Wonder why didn't they use Reimu and Marisa's themes. "Waki Miko Reimu" would be most fitting in this case.
I could so imagine him unleashing his "Master Spark" finishing move to KO his opponent. Oh wait, this isn't wrestling....
"Mastaaa~~~ SUPAAAAARKKKKK~~~!!!"
LOL he is, without a doubt, scary shit and epicness!

Oh shi-! Senjougahara Yuichiro!! His opponents' lucks will surely run out by the time he pulls out staplers and all kind of sharp stationaries from his boxers!!
Btw, anyone else thought of Gaijin4koma after looking at those Touhou cheering audiences..?
I hate Him..
HATERS GONNA HATE
This guy is really just a priceless faggot. Awesome.
The guy draws in a crowd when he cosplays if it wouldn't be for Yuichiro Jienotsu Nagashima there would be no New Japan Kickboxing Federation the guy promotes himself so well enough even Otaku's fans would pay to see this guy fight to see what he going to Cosplay.
So let me get this straight, a boxer, no serveral boxers, dress up as touhous as their entrance, and win the match? god damnit japan.
Marisa stole the precious championship belt!
When you kick copious amounts of ass, you can wear w/e the hell you want.
HELP ME YUICHIROOOO!!
Yuichiro stole the precious prize money!
This is awesome!! Yuichiro Jienotsu Nagashima is my hero!! LOL!!
"£5,000,000"
FIVE MILLIONS POUNDS?!??! ??! ?!?!?
TEN MILLION DOLLARSS^?! WUUUUT
5 million British pounds? I smell a typo.
Manly Men can fight in anything even frilly women folk dresses.
By law of equivilant exchange, MANnosuke must be played by sexy girl cosplay :P
"£5,000,000 in prize money"
Five millions pounds, lolwoot. It's about Ten millions USdollars.
Except that it wasn't 5 million POUNDS, it was 5 million YEN. That's closer to $55,000 than $10,000,000.
The check he's holding is 5 million yen, which is like 5,500 USD ... a lot less than the 5 million pounds sterling in the article. I'd guess that this was a simple typo on the behalf of Artefact.

That's right, sry. I didn't saw the cheque, I saw the £ and get shocked lol. Then, just scrolled down and commented.
It angers me that he doesn't actually fight in the outfits :\
And get the ruiner? No way!
You need to be a real man to dress woman clothes in public.
Balls of steel.
Or a mangina...
Better the dude with Taiyaki on his dead. Nagashiima is fairly good for weight class he's in.
"Just how long will one of the nation’s manliest sports continue to be so dominated by a man in skirt?"
More like a man with spirit!
YES WE CAN!
If you got beaten by someone like that, there's no shame at all. Hitagi and Touhou charas ALWAYS beat someone down!
"Just how long will one of the nation’s manliest sports continue to be so dominated by a man in skirt?"
As long as it takes, hopefully.
So GAR it hurts...
I hope not, he is a disgrace to human kind, especially us real men.
Gay pedo bastard
yeah, those real men that troll anonymously on sankaku. oh wait...
God darn it
Fooled again =C
He got us both Brah.
I admire his courage to do that XDww what's there to lose anywayz :P
At least this isn't like the lady boy kick boxer in Thailand that kisses the loser on the lips after each victory.
Pic #09 - That Senjougahara looks like 'she's gonna cut someone's dick off
Edit: "bite someone's dick off"
Mah eyes!!!!1!
After seeing that Senjougahara cosplay, I think I'll go make myself "taller."
teh googles...!!!
better had be "her" own.
Where is the top coming off that is discussed?!?!
i think he's refering to the boxer... x.x
"Just how long will one of the nation’s manliest sports continue to be so dominated by a man in skirt?"
It's when another kickboxer decides cosplays against Yuichiro in a cosplay competi... oh wait...
uhg dam, good troll. you got me Artefact
A trap is fine too. Yoshi APRROVES!
*looks at phailed Hitagi cosplay*
*Voyeur and Yoshi's eyes bleed*
doesn't matter, he owns by cosplay!
If a man enters a fighting tournament wearing a dress, loss is not an option.
He's not dominant in World Max. This is his first tournament victory.

why dont you go and fight them then
Since when is K-1 MMA?
Let's face it, the guy is badass. Kickboxing in a Marisa costume... that's infinite manliness.
Aye. I wonder. Those who are defeated by him. Do they feel humiliation or just laughs at how awesome he is?
I hope he inspires more cosplayers to start boxing (or more boxers to start cosplaying). I would love to see a boxing tournament where all the competitors are in cosplay.
it exists and it's called pro-wrestling.
This guy is just such epic win. Nothing worse then getting your ass kicked by a guy who comes out in a Marisa costume.
"Just how long will one of the nation’s manliest sports continue to be so dominated by a man in skirt?"
Two half naked men wearing silk boxers fighting over a belt and purse.
Yup, a real manly sport
Do you prefer to see them naked?
I would. :D
.........
.........
.........Not that there's anything WRONG with that.........
well......I do beleive I'm scarred for life.........anyone else?
At least it was just Touhou and Hitagi for now. But eventually he'll make his way to Queen's Blade, and then we really need to hide.
This man is my Hero.
when I grown up.... i wanna be like him
oh, wait... that's 20 years later
Yuichiro Jienotsu
my new hero too.
Only in Japan
This is a prime example of why two nukes just wasn't enough.....

It's been awhile since the last time I've herad about him in SanCom.
So this time is Touhou ? What'll be next ?
Seikon no Qwaser ? K-On! ? Can't wait for it, go Yuichiro !!!
Ahahahaha, what a hero xD

fapable
His legacy lives on...
nothing more humiliating than getting beat up by a guy that dresses up as a girl.
Luckily I was warned in advance on what to expect from this article. Nonetheless, I got a good chuckle out of it.
Why...?
...because cosplaying male characters is boring.
Agrees!!!
