WWE: Top 8 Japanese Wrestlers From The Past 30 Years

6. Mr. Fuji

The Devious One might have been billed from Japan, but he was born in Hawaii. Still, as a Japanese-American who attained a great deal of success as a wrestler and a manager, Fuji deserve a great deal of credit. After all, he led Demolition to tag team gold and steered Yokozuna to the WWE Championship twice, plus he€™s a five-time tag champ himself. Mr. Fuji€™s list of clients reads as a Who€™s Who in the 80s and 90s: Magnificent Muraco (and their awesome €˜Fuji Vice€™ videos), Demolition, Powers of Pain, Kamala, Orient Express, Yokozuna and Owen Hart. Fuji might have been born in the United States, but it was his Japanese heritage that brought him to great heights in WWE. He was a great all-around performer who entertained fans €“ even if he looked like his character was inspired by a James Bond movie villain.
