WWE Hall of Famer Mr. Fuji Dies at Age 82

Harry Fujiwara, who achieved Hall of Fame status in WWE under the ring name Mr. Fuji, died Sunday morning. He was 82 years old.

WWE confirmed the longtime wrestler's death on its official website.

Fujiwara established himself as a master of ring psychology during a wrestling career that lasted two decades, highlighted by his time in the WWWF and WWF, the predecessors to WWE.

He'll always be remembered for the heel tactic of throwing salt in opponents' eyes. He ended up being part of teams that won the WWE World Tag Team Championships five times.

The Honolulu native also spent time in various other promotions before ending his career as a full-time in-ring performer in 1985.

He quickly made a seamless transition into the world of managing, where he spent another decade working with the likes of Don Muraco, Yokozuna and George "The Animal" Steele. His trademark salt toss remained part of his arsenal, along with a myriad other memorable maneuvers.

Fujiwara's ability to make Mr. Fuji one of the most iconic characters in wrestling history earned him a place in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.

WWE executive Triple H posted a message on social media about Fujiwara's death:

Fellow veteran wrestler Tommy Dreamer also paid his respects to the legend:

Given Fujiwara's long-lasting impact on the wrestling community thanks to his unique style and a brilliantly executed character, multiple generations of fans will likely remember him in different ways. But there's no doubt he was unforgettable, regardless of the role.
