Before Mr. Saito carried the workload for Fuji, there was Professor Tanaka. Long-time Bruno challenger and a reasonably big-time heel in his day, before he went on to make movies.

 

You can get a good idea of what Tanaka was about from this clip of him in Memphis attacking Jerry Lawler:

 

 

Here is he beating up jobber Steve King:

 

 

The most footage we have of him is in the tag run with Fuji. You can see he was kinda like a Haku / Meng of his day.

 

He definitely also had a "cool look".
