The enigmatic Japanese warrior, always fought masked and never spoke, had a missing finger and carried out strange Samurai rituals, which included throwing salt in the ring. All of which heightened the mystery of Nagasaki. The mystique around him, was also exaggerated by his flamboyant manager Gorgeous George Gillette, who was also Nagasaki’s mouth-piece.
Rumours started flying around that Nagasaki was disfigured in a fire and that he never spoke as he had a high-pitched, girl like voice. It was even thought he was a member of the British Royal Family.
Kendo Nagasaki first appeared in the British wrestling scene in November 1964 and one of his most memorable, early highs was defeating fellow masked wrestler, Count Bartelli, which meant Bartelli had to be unmasked. Before this fight Bartelli had been Nagasaki’s mentor and tag team partner, but they fell out, disagreeing on Nagasaki’s rough wrestling tactics.

After graduating Sakuraba was set to become the universities coach, but at the last minute decided to become a professional wrestler with UWFi. UWFi, which was known for it’s realistic yet scripted fights and in the late ‘80s and early ’90s it was massive in Japan. UWFi’s popularity began to wane as UFC took hold and was exacerbated by Rickson Gracie’s complete domination of UWFi star Yoji Anjo, making UWFi fans wonder how other top wrestlers would fair against UFC fighters.
This allowed the renowned PRIDE championship to take hold, and as UWFi closed it’s doors many of the fighters, including Sakuraba (after briefly fighting for the Kingdom organisation) ended up
fighting with PRIDE.

Sakuraba made his first appearance in PRIDE 2, defeating Vernon ‘Tiger’ White and he became a firm favourite of Japanese fans after he totally outclassed Carlos ‘The Ronin’ Newton. Between PRIDE 2 and PRIDE 7 Sakurba had a total of five wins and one draw. In PRIDE 8 Sakuraba faced his first Gracie. Royler Gracie, multiple-time ADCC Champion and Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, was regarded as one of the best technical ground fighters. This did not phase Sakuraba. As the fight started, Royler was unable to takedown or strike effectively from a standing position, he went to the ground trying to bring the fight to his strength and create a grabbing competition. Sakuraba remained standing and lined a series of punishing kicks to Royler. With two minutes remaining Sakuraba eventually went to the ground and instantly put Royler into a Kimura lock.
