Yokozuna Wasn't Originally Introduced As Hailing From Japan.

[Rollie Forbes]

I knew Yoko wasn't Japanese since I saw his AWA run before his WWF debut, but I thought that the Yokozuna character always hailed from Japan.

Yup it was the Polynesian Islands. He was never meant to be Japanese, he just represented Japan later because of the "Yokozuna" moniker, aka Grand Sumo Champion.

It's why they said, from "The Land of the Rising Sun."
