Genzo is a sumo wrestler described in volume seven of the military chronicle Tosa Monogatari, in the section titled "Kojima Genzo Sumo no Koto." He was from Senshu (present-day Minamikojima, Tanagawa, Misaki, Sennan District, Osaka) and was known throughout the land as a wrestler with no rival in the Kinai region. He traveled to the eastern, northern, and western provinces without finding anyone who could match him, then crossed to Tosa Province by way of the Nankai road and lodged at Maehama. He is said to have stood over six shaku four or five sun (more than 190 centimeters) tall, and though only twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, his face looked as if he were forty. His strength was said to equal that of 140 or 150 men.

Chosokabe Motochika, who enjoyed sumo, summoned his retainers to witness a match, which was held on the eighteenth day of the eighth month of Tensho 1 (1573). Genzo first defeated two opponents in succession, and then faced Kuma Hyogo Toshimasa. Toshimasa, having analyzed Genzo's physique beforehand, threw and defeated him. Pleased that a Tosa warrior had beaten the wrestler famed throughout the land, Motochika rewarded Toshimasa with a naginata and gave Genzo five katabira garments and ten kan of copper coins. He is notable as a renowned wrestler whose career is recounted up to his defeat by a Tosa samurai.
