				Best japanese wrestler in WWE history?
			 
			
			Is it safe to say that it was Tajiri? I read Yokozuna wasnt really  japanese and I cant think of any other good japanese guys who were in WWE...like Kaientai, Kyodai, Hakushi etc... What do u guys think? |

			You could have a lot more fun with this if you included WCW.  WWF/WWE didn't really have a lot to pick from. Id say Tajiri for getting over the most out of any that I remember. |

			That's WCW. He teamed with the Boogie Knights. Don't take Dro's advice. WCW had way too many Japanese guys. Seems like alot of work.  I think it has to be Tajiri. He had a pretty long run with the company and was well liked and respected by the fans. I bet the WWE would like it one day to be Yoshi Tatsu. |

				            | I have to be honest I expected more from you... - Insert generic Jap wrestler here - Wrestled on Shotgun Saturday nights 3 times. While his run in WWF wasn't amazing he want back to Japan and won the head dropping quadruple crown 5 times. After that amazing achievement he went onto be part of a life altering feud with Slav the angry Ukraninan bear from 1996 until today. The feud is still in its infancy but I really think its going somewhere and shows true style... |

			Yeah, really. Begins and ends with Ultimo Dragon? I might even go as far as to say begins and ends with Muta. Besides, Dragon did wrestle for WWE for a year. You don't need to bring WCW in if you want to choose him. |

			Probably Taka more than Tajiri. Both were good wrestlers in terms of wrestling skills and had their great moments in the WWF/E. I think the light-heavyweight division might have been created mostly for Taka at the time when the WWE generally cared less about cruiser-weights than WCW. If you count fake Japanese, then its easily Yokozuna. |
