Former WWF Star Goes To Court 04.19.99 Back when the Hulkster and his torn shirts were whooping it up in the WWF, Mr. Fuji was managing ethnic baddies with a black derby hat, a menacing walking stick, and broken English. So why was he included in THQ's recent WCW vs. NWO for the Nintendo 64 when he has never been a part of the WCW? Maybe it's him and maybe it's not, but that isn't stopping Fujiwara from filing a lawsuit that claims his likeness is being used in conjunction with WCW vs. NWO. According to the April 16 issue of MCV magazine, Mr. Fuji, or Harry Fujiwara in real life, is suing THQ for developing and publishing the game, Nintendo for manufacturing it, and Prima Publishing for publishing a strategy guide with "10 photographic likenesses" of Mr. Fuji. The law suit also claims that the game uses Mr. Fuji's fictional background. Mr. Fujiwara, who has also wrestled under the name Master Fuji, is seeking $1.5 million.
