Silver Samurai
Keniuchio Harada was a mutant and the illegitimate son of the former Japanese crime lord Shingen Harada, head of the Clan Yashida
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 fatherâs death, Harada sought the leadership of Shingen's Clan Yashida from his half-sister Mariko Yashida, but was opposed by the Ronin Yukio and Marikoâs 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 creatorâs madness. Wolverine himself fell under the swordâs spell, but managed to overcome his possession after which Harada took up the sword, finding himself worthy of its power.
After Marikoâs death, Harada claimed leadership of Clan Yashida.
Big Hero 6
He was briefly employed by the Japanese government as leader of their fledgling super-team Big Hero 6. He joined to prevent Everwraith from slaughtering millions in downtown Tokyo.
During the battle, Big Hero 6 was joined by Sunfire, Japan's premiere super hero and a mutant with the ability to super-heat matter into plasma, who was instrumental in the Everwraith's defeat.
