Trained by Gran Hamada, Jinsei Shinzaki debuted in the early 90s and his natural intense look and high-flying moveset quickly made him a coveted addition to any roster. Taking on the persona of Hakushi, Shinzaki entered the WWF in 1995 with fake full body tattoos and an all-white monk-like outfit and feuded with Bret Hart.

A face turn quickly saw him slide down the card, but he returned to Japan a much bigger star, and did well on the Japanese independent scene.
