Mr. Wally Yamaguchi, who I had been indebted to from before my United States debut, was a good referee in Japan and fluent in English. You have helped me as a manager of the heart and soul.
My best friend Wally Yamaguchi (Yamaguchi San)passed away .
He had stroke about one year ago. Had hart problem as well and he was on bed for about one year. I’ll have my show on March 13 as TCW Wally Yamaguchi Memorial Show. R.I.P. pic.twitter.com/bSkErjS9wm— Jimmy Suzuki (ジミー鈴木） (@JimmySuzuki1) March 9, 2019
