Death

On April 14, 2000, Fukuda suffered a fatal head injury during a match with Katsuyori Shibata in the Young Lion Cup Tournament after taking a flying elbow drop. He was rushed to the hospital but died five days later on April 19 due to a brain hemorrhage; he was 27 years old. The rest of the tournament was dedicated to Fukuda's memory and was honored with a ten-bell salute and a tribute show in September of that year.[3]

Championships and accomplishments
gollark: That somehow reminded me of this: https://www.roguetemple.com/z/hyper/
gollark: I *could* probably make pmOS work on my old tablet, actually...
gollark: I would, it has great pmOS compatibility, but obtaining any rare computing devices and whatnot in the UK is hard at the best of times, and now is not the best of times.
gollark: Sadly, on most devices postmarketOS is missing advanced features like phone calls and any use of the modem at all.
gollark: For Android.
