Francisco Javier Mar Hernández (December 4, 1926 – May 4, 2000), known by the ring name "El Orgullo de Oriente" ("The pride of the Orient") Sugi Sito, was a Mexican professional wrestler and promoter. He saw success in Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) during the 1950s, where he was a two-time NWA World Middleweight Championship.

In the 1950s, Sito left Mexico and gained a measure of great success wrestling in the United States, especially the Houston, Texas area. In the early 1970s, Sito worked for Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling as a tag team with Chin Lee and Tor Kamata, holding the NWA International Tag Team Championship three times. He later returned to Mexico where he became a wrestling promoter.
