Mr. Fuji
Harry Masayoshi Fujiwara (May 4, 1934 – August 28, 2016) was an American professional wrestler and manager, known professionally by his ring name Mr. Fuji (or Master Fuji to his protégés). He was famous for often throwing salt in the eyes of fan favorite wrestlers. Notable wrestlers and tag teams managed by him include Don Muraco, Yokozuna and Demolition. As proud supporter of mighty Yokozuna, he angrily warned the wrestlers, "Next time it's not going to be a 505-lb Yokozuna, it's gonna be a 550-lb Yokozuna!"
