History[]
Kenuichio Harada was born to the Japanese crime lord Shingen as a mutant with the power to generate a tachyon field around him. Fascinated with the medieval samurai code of honor, Harada mastered the disciplines and swordsmanship techniques of the samurai, using his mutant power to enhance the impact created when his sword strikes something. Taking the nom-de-guerre Silver Samurai, Harada sold his services as a mercenary indiscriminately to others. He first worked for the fiend Mandrill and in that capacity battled Daredevil. Next, a took a job from Viper to bolster HYDRA's power with his own special talents and fought Spider-Man. After the death of his father, the Samurai endeavored to claim his criminal organization, the Clan Yashida, from his half-sister Mariko, a love interest of Wolverine. Though he was opposed by Wolverine this time, the Silver Samurai later came to his aid in freeing Jessica Drew from the influence of a magical blade. After Mariko died, the Silver Samurai became leader of the Clan Yashida but was dishonored when he briefly lost control of it to a Mongolian crime kingpin and has since returned to being a mercenary, traditionally a rival of Wolverine.
