Of course, we all remember Mr. Fuji’s accomplishments as a manager, but did you know that this WWE Hall of Famer is a 5 time World Tag Team Champion too? The first 3 times were with Captain Toru Tanaka and the last 2 times had been with Mr. Saito.

In his run with Mr. Saito, they were managed by the best, none other than the legendary Captain Lou Albano. Mr. Fuji was also part of memorable feuds consequently, including one with Tony Garea and Rick Martel, as well as one with The Strongbows. After losing the titles to the Strongbows, Mr. Fuji embarked on a singles run but wasn’t quite as successful.
