Harry Masayoshi Fujiwara (May 4, 1934 – August 28, 2016) was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. He was of Japanese and Native Hawaiian ancestry. He was a professional wrestler, actor and manager, known professionally by his ring name Mr. Fuji (or Master Fuji to his protégés). He was famous for often throwing salt in the eyes of fan favorite wrestlers. Fujiwara made his professional wrestling debut in 1962 in his native Hawaii under the ring name Mr. Fujiwara, but later he shortened it to Mr. Fuji. He won 5 tag team titles in the WWWF/WWF as a wrestler, and managed Demolition to the tag team titles. He also managed Yokozuna to the WWF World Championship twice.

Fuji debuted in Vince McMahon, Sr.'s World Wide Wrestling Federation in 1972 as a heel. He formed a tag team with Professor Toru Tanaka and the duo were managed by the Grand Wizard. Tanaka provided his physical massive strength and Fuji brought his devious ring psychology to the team, which earned him the nickname "The Devious One". Fuji used to throw salt in his opponent's eyes, which earned him victories. They defeated Sonny King and Chief Jay Strongbow on June 27, 1972, for their first World Tag Team Championship. They quickly ascended to main event status, defending the titles against WWWF World Heavyweight Champion Pedro Morales and Bruno Sammartino on several occasions, throughout the year. They reigned for eleven months, making them the third longest reigning WWWF World Tag Team Champions in history. They lost the championship to Tony Garea and Haystacks Calhoun on May 30, 1973.

They continued to feud with Garea and Calhoun for the titles before defeating them on September 11 in a rematch to win their second WWWF World Tag Team Championship. With their title recapture, their feud with Garea and his new partner Dean Ho continued. On November 14, Fuji and Tanaka lost the titles to Garea and Ho. Shortly after Fuji and Tanaka left the WWWF in 1974.

Fuji and Tanaka returned to WWWF in 1977. They took on Freddie Blassie as their manager. On September 27, 1977, they defeated Larry Zbyzsko and longtime rival Tony Garea in the finals of a tag team tournament to win their third WWWF World Tag Team Championship. They lost the belts to Dino Bravo and Dominic DeNucci on the March 14, 1978, episode of Championship Wrestling. Shortly after, they left WWWF again.

Fuji returned to World Wide Wrestling Federation, then known as the World Wrestling Federation, in 1981. He formed a tag team with Mr. Saito, which was managed by Captain Lou Albano. They began a feud with tag champions Tony Garea and Rick Martel, whom they defeated on the October 17, 1981, episode of Championship Wrestling to win their first Tag Team Championship, though it was Fuji's fourth individual reign. They began feuding with The Strongbows (Chief Jay and Jules) in the fall of 1981. This culminated in a title match on June 28, 1982, at Madison Square Garden (MSG) where the Strongbows won the championship. On the July 13 episode of Championship Wrestling, they defeated the Strongbows in a two out of three falls match for Fuji's fifth and Saito's second WWF Tag Team Championship. The feud of these two teams ended after Fuji and Saito lost the titles to the Strongbows on the October 30 episode of Championship Wrestling.

Fuji retired from wrestling in 1985 and became a heel manager and wrestled occasionally. As a manager, Fuji often "blinded" his opponents by throwing salt in their eyes, or he or his wrestler(s) hit their opponent with his ever-present cane. He wore a black tuxedo and bowler hat, akin to the James Bond series character Oddjob, and carried a little bag of salt. His first client was George Steele, but later managed Don Muraco, Jim Neidhart, Killer Khan, Sika, Kamala, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, The Orient Express (Pat Tanaka and Akio Sato) & The Berzerker.

In 1987 he bought the contract of Demolition (Ax and Smash) from Luscious Johnny V. Demolition started calling him "Master Fuji" and he managed them to the Tag Team Championship. At Survivor Series, he turned on Demolition and began managing Demolition's rival tag team, The Powers of Pain (Warlord and Barbarian). He would later return to managing Demolition, and by that time they had added Crush to their stable, often using the freebird rule for matches.

His last match in WWF was teaming with Kamala as they lost to The Undertaker in a handicap match on July 26, 1992, at a house show.

Fuji's greatest success and popularity as a manager came in November 1992 when he introduced the mammoth Yokozuna to the WWF. Under Fuji's tutelage, Yokozuna won the 1993 Royal Rumble match and two WWF World 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. During this time he again changed his appearance, abandoning the tuxedo and bowler hat in favor of a traditional Japanese kimono and carrying the Japanese flag.

Mr. Fuji was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on March 31, 2007, by his former charge Don Muraco.

Fujiwara died of natural causes, aged 82, on August 28, 2016, in Clarksville, Tennessee.
