Genzō is a sumo wrestler (rikishi) described in volume seven of the military chronicle Tosa Monogatari, in the section titled "The Matter of Kojima Genzō's Sumo." He was from Senshū (present-day Konan, Misaki, Sennan District, Osaka Prefecture) and was known throughout the land as a wrestler with no equal in the Kinai region. He traveled to the eastern provinces and then through the northern and western provinces in search of opponents, crossed by the Nankaido route into Tosa Province, and lodged at Maehama (present-day Maehama, Nankoku City). He is described as standing six shaku four or five sun (over 190 centimeters), aged twenty-eight or twenty-nine though his face looked forty, and said to possess the strength of 140 or 150 men. When the Tosa warlord Chōsokabe Motochika gathered his retainers for a sumo match, Genzō first defeated two opponents in succession, then faced Kuma Hyōgo Toshimasa and was thrown and defeated.

His appeal lies in the description of overwhelming strength and striking appearance: a wrestler famed throughout the land who had no rivals in the Kinai and wandered the provinces seeking matches, arriving before the warriors of Tosa and defeating multiple opponents in succession. His loss to Toshimasa, who prevailed through a plan based on analyzing Genzō's physique, also serves to heighten the impression of Genzō's strength.
