José Alfredo Díaz Mendoza (September 25, 1949 – April 17, 1989), best known by his ring name Villano II (Spanish: "Villano Segundo"; English: "Villain the second"), was a Mexican luchador enmascarado (or masked professional wrestler). Despite being numbered "II", he was the oldest of the Díaz sons, and was thus the oldest son of luchador Ray Mendoza. His younger brothers wrestled or wrestle as Villano I (José de Jesús), Villano III (Arturo), Villano V (Raymundo), and Villano IV (Tomás). Villano II has at times been called "the Forgotten Villano", as he is the Villano who achieved the least success in the ring and only wrestled a sporadic schedule for the latter part of his career.[2]
