CongratulationsGood for him!

You only really say "congratulations" to the person you're congratulating.

Mr. Hanyu is also a shoginother player who will go down in the history of shogi, but Mr. Fujii is a talented player who has broken the records of Mr. Hanyu and others one after another.

In addition, he was born in Aichi prefecture as, same as me, so I feel familiar withclose to him.

I found it hard to come up with a better expression for the last part of your sentence ("...so I feel familiar with him"), so don't take my correction as gospel!
