Tiger debuted in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1982, as he feuded over the WWF Junior Heavyweight Championship with Tiger Mask after Black Tiger defeated Gran Hamada in a tournament final for the title in Fukuoka, Japan on 6 May, before losing it back to Tiger Mask less than a month later in Tokyo, Japan on 26 May 1982.
Tiger passed away on July 30, 2020.
