Buu Chin becomes Japan’s newest international slap fighting star
Making his first-ever appearance on Slap News, Buu Chin arrived with energy, personality, and one of the most memorable debuts of Power Slap 10. The Japanese striker has officially become an international superstar — and he’s just getting started.
When asked how it feels to join the global slap fighting universe, Buu kept it simple: “It was fun.”
How Buu Chin got into Power Slap
According to his coach and translator, it all started with a message to Dana White. Buu previously won a slap fighting event in Japan before the organization closed down, but his desire to keep competing never faded.
His coach reached out directly to Dana about his student’s success — and almost immediately, Power Slap reached back. Erica contacted them, paperwork followed, and suddenly Buu Chin was Vegas-bound.
Representing Japan on the world stage
Surprisingly, Buu said he didn’t feel heavy pressure representing Japan.
In fact, he said Japanese fans didn’t expect him to succeed on a global level — which actually relaxed him. With nothing to lose, he went into the match loose, confident, and ready to shock the world.
The origin of the name “Buu Chin”
Fans have been wondering about his unforgettable name. The truth? There’s no deeper meaning. Buu said it came from social media and stuck — and nobody realized until recently that the name literally highlights his chin.
It turned out to be perfect branding by accident.
Experiencing the Power Slap system for the first time
When comparing his previous Japanese competition with Power Slap, Buu said the difference was massive.
From media to production to fight week events, Power Slap felt “huge.”
But what surprised him most was the medical process — how thorough and professional the health checks were.
His take on beating Carl Glennon
Buu defeated Carl Glennon in his debut, and while he enjoyed the experience, he admitted Glennon’s strike definitely hurt. After absorbing that first slap, his adrenaline surged, and he felt calm and focused.
It was after that moment fans saw the real Buu Chin — dancing, animated, energized, and completely in his element.
His personality: real or an act?
Buu confirmed it himself:
The guy you see on-stage is the real Buu Chin.
No act. No exaggeration. Just his natural energy.
The unique blonde look
Buu’s bleach-blonde style caught everyone’s attention, but he says it’s simply who he is. He didn’t change his appearance for slap fighting — it’s the look he’s had for years, and it represents his identity.
What’s next for Buu Chin?
One word: Vegas.
Buu wants to compete again in Las Vegas — the city he associates with gambling.
And yes, he loves gambling.
His game of choice? Roulette.
Responding to Dorian Perez calling him “Blue Cheese”
Dorian Perez jokingly referred to him as “Blue Cheese,” and Buu Chin has heard it — and laughed.
But he also wants to turn the joke into a matchup.
His callout? He wants Dorian Perez next.
His exact motivation:
He wants to “make Dorian Perez into Blue Cheese.”
That’s a headline-ready rivalry.
Does Buu Chin believe he deserves a ranking?
Absolutely.
He feels he belongs in the top 10 of the heavyweight division right now.
A message to the American fans
Buu delivered a final animated shoutout:
He introduced himself proudly as Buu Chin — not Blue Cheese — and thanked fans for supporting him as he enters the world stage.
