Well known Japanese performer Umanosuke Ueda (born Yuji Ueda) died on Wednesday morning at the age of 71. Ueda performed in the United States under the name Mr. Ito but had greatest success as a heel in Japan working for the JWA and then both New Japan and All Japan Pro Wrestling where he formed a legendary tag team with Tiger Jeet Singh. The two were a hot tag team with NJPW when they jumped ship to AJPW and was a huge story at the time. Ueda wrestled from 1961 until his forced retirement in 1996 following a car accident that left him in a wheelchair.
