!! "Anaconda Tropes:"
* AnimalThemeNaming: Of bulls and buffalos.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Much to his chagrin, he often ended being this to the worldly Masahiro Chono.
* BerserkButton: Don't say to his face that he is just Chono's henchman. He's got a huge inferiority complex about his role in the Cho-Ten tag team.
* CoolMask: Wore a mask with bull horns.
* {{Face}}: It's an especially difficult labor to get fans to boo him, one that got harder and harder as the years passed and the fan base began to view him as a corner stone of New Japan.
* FinishingMove: Anaconda Vice and its variations, Anaconda Cross (combined with a straight jacket choke) and Anaconda Max (combined with a Cobra clutch), diving headbutt, moonsault, Original TTD – Original Tenzan Tombstone Driver (sitout cradle reverse piledriver), TTD – Tenzan Tombstone Driver (kneeling cradle reverse piledriver)
* MulticoloredHair: Has blond streaks on the sides of his head.
* RedBaron: "Moushi" ("Angry Bull"), "Western Buffalo".
* ShortHairWithTail: Tenzan wears a mullet with a tail protruding from it.
* SignatureMove: Anaconda Buster (Anaconda Vice sitout side slam), Buffalo Sleeper (arm-hook sleeper hold), Calf Branding (diving knee drop bulldog), Mountain Bomb, Tenzan Trip (rope-hung whiplash)
* TakeThat: His Tenzan Trip to Rob Conway's Ego Trip after the two started a feud.
* TimetoUnlockMoreTruePotential:
** Trained boxing at the Kadoebi Gym to counter Naofumi Yamamoto. It became a point of friction with Chono, as he often pressed Tenzan to train it hard to keep their success.
** Innovated the Anaconda Vice after training MMA in the Los Angeles Inoki Dojo, and later improved it into the Anaconda Cross when wrestlers like Osamu Nishimura and Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura learned to counter the move.
* UrExample: First pro wrestler to use the Anaconda Vice (and Anaconda Cross, Max, Buster, etc.), the Buffalo Sleeper, and the Mountain Momb.
* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Chono have turned on each other several times, but they usually come together after the dust clears.
