Career
Yamada was a fighter amateur when he studied with the college. It was presented to the New Japan Pro Wrestling to become a Catcheur beginning of the year 1980. It was not accepted because it did not answer the criteria of size required at that time. Yamada was given not to give up its dream to become an all-in wrestler, it from thus went away for the Mexico and began its drive here. Whereas it continued in parallel its studies, its first match proceeded in 1984 at the 20 years age. It started to study various styles of martial arts because it wanted to again add something and of different to its style from wrestling, and it is in this manner that it learned the Rolling Koppou Kick.It from went away in England in 1986 where it catchait with the All-Star Promotions under the pseudo " Flying" Fuji Yamada. After being gone back to Japan, it used for the first time Shooting Star Close which it invented in 1987, idea which came to him after having read the Manga Fist off the North Star. It rejoigniait thereafter the Canada beginning 1989, where it fought in the federation of Stu Hart, the Stampede Wrestling under its true name. It was also entrâiné under the orders of Binder in legendary the " Dongeon" binder. Its experiments here ammenaient it to qualify Hart d'" man very, very dûr". The NJPW recalled it to Japan, as they needed him for a character based on a gimmick of superhéro of Cartoons, Jushin Liger , creates by famous the Mangaka Go Nagai. The NJPW had carried out before this with Tiger Mask, which had become a great success. Yamada was seen given a costume somplet of superhéro and a mask to the démoniaque pace, exactly with the image of what is shown in the cartoon.
Jushin Liger began the April 24th 1989 with the NJPW. At the time of its first match, it beat Kuniaki Kobayashi. Progressively, the animated character of Jushin Liger evolved/moved, and changed 3 times. Liger also thus changed to him with the image of the héro. First of all it was then Fire Liger before becoming the character who it is still today, Jushin Thunder Liger. it quickly became one of the best weight-means of the NJPW, gaining the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title eleven times with in better number of titles and different distinctions throughout the world. When it appeared without its mask, Yamada unceasingly hid the face with a hand. The style of Yamada was turned more before on the stunt-flying. Later it started to adopt more powerful catches and to be focused more on the catches on the ground and to tell a history on the boxing ring.
Jushin Liger also made appearances with WCW during the years 1990. It carried out its first match in 1991 against Brian Pillman, and faced later several adversaries like Chris Benoit, Ricky Steamboat, Rey Mysterio, Jr., and Juventud Guerrera.
In 1996, Yamada had a brain tumor of diagnosed what cost him the listening of an ear. A few weeks later, it recovered completely and turned over in action. It adapted its style of wrestling to help it to reduce the tension which seized its body. It adopted a basic style then to compensate for this.
