Yamaguchi entered WWE as Yamaguchi-san in March of 1998 alongside his stable, Kaientai (Dick Togo, Mens Teioh and Funaki). Perhaps their most memorable moment came during a rivalry with WWE’s porn star character, Val Venis. Yamaguchi was shown a video of his wife sleeping with Venis, causing outrage and threats that he would punish them both.
