Silver Samurai is the name of two characters in Marvel Comics. The first Silver Samurai is Kenuichio Harada. His first appearance was in Daredevil #111 (July, 1974). In Japan his name is Harada Kenichirō (原田剣一郎)[citation needed], since 'Kenuichio' is not an actual Japanese name. A new Silver Samurai appeared when Wolverine made a trip to Japan to visit Silver Samurai's grave. This version is the Silver Samurai's son Shingen "Shin" Harada (named after Silver Samurai's father Shingen Yashida) who has been committing larceny with Wolverine's daughter Amiko Kobayashi.[19]
Shin goes on to work with Mystique in tracking down newly awakened mutants to join her cause.[20] He is later recruited by Kade Killgore to be a teacher at the Hellfire Club's Hellfire Academy. The first Silver Samurai is a mutant with the ability to generate a tachyon field, with which he can surround anything[citation needed]. He commonly uses his power on his sword, enabling it to cut through nearly anything, except substances as hard as adamantium.
When working with the Viper, he possesses a teleportation ring, which allows him to teleport from one location to another, granting him great mobility and stealth. As a self-styled samurai, he is a master of Kenjutsu (katana), and a martial arts master specializing in edged weapons, hand to hand combat, and tactics. He usually wears a suit of lightweight steel alloy body armor, modeled after traditional samurai armor, but made of modern protective materials. He carries a katana (long sword), shuriken (throwing stars), and other weaponry. Keniuchio has extensive knowledge of the operations of criminal organizations due to his shady past, which he now uses in the service of his government to combat such organizations. He is an expert in the history and customs of the samurai class (Bushido).
The second Silver Samurai possesses a technologically-advanced suit of armor, which grants him the ability of flight and protection from many conventional attacks. In addition to carrying two katana blades, Shingen possesses a number of armaments and gadgets, such as an energy cannon built into the right wrist of the suit.[21]
- Silver Samurai and Kenuichio Harada appear in the 2013 film The Wolverine.[26] Will Yun Lee portrays Kenuichio Harada.[27] He is depicted as the skilled archer leader of the Black Ninja clan that is sworn to protect the Yashida clan and he is the former lover of Mariko Yashida. He is not a mutant and does not wear the Silver Samurai armor. A suit of samurai armor, in the Yashida family for centuries, is referred to as the Silver Samurai, and is placed at the grave of Ichirō Yashida. When Yakuza invade Yashida's funeral, Harada assists Wolverine in protecting Mariko, but was revealed to be working with the mutant Viper. In the film's climax that the Silver Samurai (not the traditional armor at the gravesite) is actually a giant robotic suit made of adamantiumwielding an adamantium katana and wakazashi, worn by the old head of the Yashida clan's technology empire.
