===Managerial career (1985β1996)=== Fuji retired from wrestling in 1985 and became a heel manager. As a manager, Fuji would "blind" his opponents by throwing salt in their eyes. He would carry a little bag of salt in his tights. His first client was George Steele. However, Steele would go on to become a fan favorite and left Fuji. Fuji's next client was Don Muraco. They both formed a popular duo and appeared in a video package called "Fuji Vice", which was a mockery of Miami Vice. Fuji and Muraco then began a feud with [[Ricky Steamboat]], resulting in Steamboat defeating Fuji in several matches during the feud. Fuji brought [[The Orient Express]] ([[Pat Tanaka]] and [[Akio Sato]]) to the WWF. Orient Express got involved in a feud with The Rockers (Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty). Orient Express got involved in Demolition's feud with the Legion of Doom (Hawk and Animal). Fuji reunited with Demolition (who by this time had a third member, Crush) at that point. Demolition was phased out while the Orient Express took on Legion of Doom in matches. Fuji briefly managed The Berzerker from 1991 to 1993. Fuji's greatest success and popularity as a manager came later that same year in November 1992 when he introduced the mammoth [[Yokozuna (WWF)]] to the WWF. Under Fuji's tutelage, Yokozuna won the 1993 Royal Rumble match and two WWF Championships, first from Bret Hart at WrestleMania IX, and again from Hulk Hogan at King of the Ring. Later that year, Fuji was joined by "spokesman" James E. Cornette. In late 1993, Fuji once again began managing Crush after he turned on Randy Savage.
