OP, it won't be hard to find a job, especially in the entertainment district. If you don't ask them to sponsor your visa, they won't ask you about your visa. lol. Seeing as you're into MMA, bouncing would be a good option, it's a lot more different from what the bouncer has to do in the west, #1 problem for me were clingy 16 year old jap cuties - worked part-time as a bouncer for a year in Roppongi during my exchange and never had any serious problems. Wage is usually 1200-1500y/hour for regular club work (not much compared to west but then again you don't do anything) but you could get a lot more once you get to know the people in the PHYSICAL SECURITY scene - I ended up bodyguarding gravure idols, escorting a whole german soccer club (dont remember which) etc, and that was well paid - 70 thousand yen for a day with girls, 20 thousand for escorting the soccer fags from the departure gate to the buss on the airport - took 20 mins. Don't expect it to happen like that tho - you might luck out, you might not - I just happened to meet the right people. As for the visa, you'll get 3 months on the tourist visa. If that's enough for you, good. If not, you can just fly out to Korea or something and come back and get another one, or, if you're serious, you could try to get the 'cultural studies' visa which is for studying jap stuff like ikebana, judo etc. I think you can do part-time work on it completely legally but please check that. Bottom line: you speak Japanese, you have usable skills (wrasslin' ZOMG!) - getting an under-the-table job won't be hard. I'd just like to ask you, what are your plans? Would you like to stay in Japan?
