It's being reported by the Florida Wrestling Alliance and the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame & Museum that wrestling legend Kazuo Sakurada, also known as Kendo Nagasaki, has passed away.

Sakurada was the second of several wrestlers to use the name and gimmick of "Kendo Nagasaki". He was a very well-traveled performer, having competed in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, as well as his home country of Japan.

WNS would like to offer our condolences to the family, friends and fans of Kazuo Sakurada.
