Tajiri left WWE in part because his son was about to start school and they were having trouble assimilating to culture in the US, plus he had recently had a heart scare and Eddie Guerrero’s death gave him some perspective. He will be magazine reporting on wrestling, MMA and kickboxing, and is planning a book about his time in WWE that WWE will promote. He left on good terms and will likely work the 2006 ECW PPV and WWE’s Japanese tours. He plans on working Japan after his 90-day no-compete expires. He originally wanted to leave in 2003, but a great crowd reaction in Japan to a match he had with HHH changed his mind.
