In 1987, Antonio Inoki's long-simmering feud with Masa Saito came to a head on this Japanese island, famous for a duel between two rival swordsmen centuries earlier.
Inoki and Saito fought for over two hours on the island, with fire coming into play. Saito suffered a legitimate eye injury, and Inoki dislocated his shoulder, before Inoki won the bloody deathmatch via TKO.
Four years later, Hiroshi Hase defeated Tiger Jeet Singh in a less-heralded match on the island.
