A pair of full-head professional wrestling masks for two masked rivals: Tiger Mask, in silver-white with black stripes and a white mane, and Black Tiger, in black with silver stripes and a black mane.
The Piece
The Tiger Mask is silver-white with bold black stripes, black mesh eye panels, a red jewel at the brow, red at the mouth and a full white fur mane. The Black Tiger mask reverses the scheme in black with silver stripes, a gold star at the brow and a black fur mane. Both are full-head sewn masks in the style worn in the ring.
The two are offered together, as a pair.
Tiger Mask and Black Tiger
At Kajiwara's suggestion, New Japan Pro-Wrestling created a real Tiger Mask to coincide with the sequel anime, and on 23 April 1981 Satoru Sayama walked to the ring at the Kuramae Kokugikan in Tokyo as Tiger Mask to face Dynamite Kid. He left New Japan in 1983 and later wrestled for the UWF as The Tiger and as Super Tiger.
Among the opponents in his most publicised feuds was Black Tiger, played by the British wrestler Mark Rocco; on 26 May 1982 Tiger Mask beat Black Tiger in a match for the WWF Junior Heavyweight title. More from the ring and the comic is on the anime and character shelf.
