These were the most familiar Japanese wrestlers to me simply because I grew up watching them, mostly Muta. As Seth82 and Loose Cannon said, I strongly remember his push in WCW during 1989, although I don't agree with Muta losing all 3 matches at Starrcade of that year (though I know it was done to push Sting and Luger). I remember Muta vs Chono at Starrcade 1992 and the crowd seemed dead, cheering for Muta because of his previous run. But all 3 of these guys got me interested in Puroresu later.
I never really got into Ultimo Dragon, Liger, or Kaz Hayashi but I really don't have a reason why.
Now, I'm really into Kenta Kobashi, Mitsuharu Misawa, KENTA, Kensuke Sasake, Yuji Nagata, Keiji Mutoh, and Go Shiozaki.
