Biography of Tajiri
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
"The Japanese Buzzsaw" has proven himself in WWE by winning and clinging to 
the Cruiserweight Championship!
But those familiar with Tajiri's style are not surprised that he's been 
successful in the WWE. While on a tour of Mexico, Tajiri incorporated a high 
flying Lucha Libre style into his background of martial arts and Japanese 
shoot wrestling to become one of the top young junior heavyweights in the 
world. In 1998, Paul Heyman gave Tajiri an opportunity in Extreme 
Championship Wrestling, where the Japanese Buzzsaw worked a series of 
memorable matches, including a few with current WWE Superstar Tazz. Tajiri's 
blinding, rapid-fire kicks to the face and an unorthodox maneuver called the 
Tarantula earned respect thought the sports-entertainment world, and an 
eventual ticket to the WWE.
