Harry Fujiwara, known to WWE fans as Mr. Fuji over a career that spanned decades, died at the age of 82.
WWE announced the passing of the Hall of Famer on its website and noted that he was a competitor and manager in the sport for over 30 years. 
He was a five-time world tag team champion and was known for throwing salt, which he kept in small bags in his tights, into the eyes of his opponents.
After his wrestling career ended, he managed WWE stars like George “The Animal” Steele, Kamala, Killer Khan, Demolition, The Powers of Pain, Yokozuna and Magnificent Don Muraco.
Muraco and Fuji created takeoffs of popular TV series with Fuji Vice, Fuji General, Fuji Bandito and Fuji Chan.
“During his in-ring days, Fuji established himself as one of the great rule-breakers in WWE,” the organization said. 
His signature move was hiding a bag of salt in his trunks. He would throw the salt into the eyes of his opponents, blinding them while he went in for the finish. 
Mr. Fuji’s specialty was tag-team wrestling, where he was the co-holder of the championship five times with two different partners.
After his performing career ended, Fujiwara became one of the sport’s most colorful managers. He’d wear a tuxedo and tophat, and carry a cane, which could at times also become a weapon whenever a referee turned his back. 
“His career will be remembered by different generations for different reasons,” WWE said. “But Mr. Fuji, whether as a Superstar or manager, is one of the most entertaining performers in the history of WWE.”
