Nagisa Fujimoto, at the age of 20, has made headlines in the shogi community by achieving three consecutive promotions since her debut in the shogi ranking league, known as the B-Class, as she triumphed against Akutsu Chikara in her ninth match. With a rank of 7-dan, she concluded the latest season with an impressive record of 8 wins and 2 losses, allowing her to ascend to the B-Class 1 group. This achievement mirrors the remarkable feat of nine-time champion Bun'go Fukuzaki, who achieved three consecutive promotions in the late 1970s, making it a historical moment for the sport in Japan.

Fujimoto's performances have highlighted her exceptional talent, as she not only excelled in her debut season but has consistently topped the charts since her entry into the C-Class 2 group. Her stellar track record, including winning 9-1 in her first two seasons, showcases her rapid rise in the competitive shogi scene, earning her the nickname that references the formidable nature of the B-Class 1.

In a post-match interview, Fujimoto expressed her feelings about moving up to the B-Class 1, humorously acknowledging the nickname "den of demons" and reflecting on her goal to aim for the A-Class next. Despite her ambition, she recognizes the challenges that lie ahead against seasoned competitors, indicating a desire to continue improving with each game she plays, thereby inspiring a new generation of shogi players.
