The ring name is written 岩手富士. Taken character by character:
| 岩 | crag |
| 富 | wealth, abundance |
| 士 | samurai; a man of standing |
⚠️The character 手 is left out above: we do not yet have a meaning for it that we are sure of, and we would rather show a gap than a guess.
These are the dictionary meanings of the characters, not a statement about why this particular name was chosen — that is the stablemaster’s business, and we do not guess at it. How ring names are put together →
