Editing Keniuchio Harada (Earth-616) (section)

==Story==
As a youth, Harada mastered the attendant disciplines of the medieval samurai and sought employment as a warrior for hire. He first worked for the criminal Mandrill and clashed with the blind hero Daredevil.

Harada then served the Viper, an agent of the terrorist organization Hydra, as her bodyguard. In this capacity he battled Spider-Man, Nick Fury, Shang-Chi, and Black Widow on the original S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

Following his father’s death, Harada sought the leadership of Shingen's Clan Yashida from his half-sister [[Mariko Yashida]], but was opposed by the Ronin [[Yukio (Earth-616) | Yukio]] and Mariko’s lover, the mutant adventurer [[Wolverine]].

Later, Harada worked with Wolverine to free American private investigator Jessica Drew from the influence of Black Blade of Muramasa, a sword mystically imbued with its creator’s madness. Wolverine himself fell under the sword’s spell, but managed to overcome his possession after which Harada took up the sword, finding himself worthy of its power.

After Mariko’s death, Harada claimed leadership of Clan Yashida.
