powers</strong></span></span></div><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><br/><br/><strong>Psionic Exoskeleton-Armor and Weapons:</strong> Kenichi's powers come entirely from his mother, though both his maternal and paternal bloodlines empower it.   He can generate an enormously strong, powerful, durable, and impenetrable psionic exoskeleton armor around his entire physical body. It can be further enhanced by drawing more power, energy, and strength from the bloodline of his ancestors. This exoskeleton drastically enhances his strength, endurance, stamina, agility, invulnerability, and durability.  While armored, Kenichi has high level super human strength and durability in particular.  The armor can also prevent unusual attacks such as gasses, poison, and disease from reaching him.<br/><br/>The armor's shape can also be changed and manipulated by Kenichi; including making the armor larger and essentially creating a Psionic "mecha" on a large enough scale and power level to do battle with beings such as Fin Fang Foom.  His armor and it's strength is much stronger than that of his mother due to the Harada ancestry being included for the purposes of his power base.  His power grows greatly when family members die, so he dreads his powers getting stronger.  <br/><br/>In addition to the armor, Kenichi can shape weapons to wield as well, these weapons are extremely powerful and can be concussive or cut as he wishes.  He is capable of using the armor to fire concussive blasts at a distance but this takes a great deal of focus and concentration.  Kenichi usually doesn't bother, as it is easier to make the armor larger and change the shape to stretch out and hit the targets he wishes to strike.   <br/><br/>According to genetic analysis, Kenichi has inherited his father's power to sheathe objects in a tachyon field but he has not yet demonstrated this ability.  If it manifested, he would likely be able to cover the armor in a tachyon field, increasing it's offensive power and allowing even his punches to be able to cut through almost all materials.  His father was able to cut through anything but vibranium, adamantium, and Uru for example.  <br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong><br/><strong>Master Martial Artist:</strong> Kenichi has learned from many masters and is a world class martial artist. He can be considered a master of karate, kenjutsu, jujitsu, horse riding, and archery.  He is skilled in the use of many weapons beyond the swords and martial arts associated with the samurai such as spears, staves, and so on.  He trains daily whenever possible and seeks to improve and test his skills.  <br/><br/><strong>Clan Yashida Training:</strong> Related to but different from his extensive martial arts training, Kenichi has also been trained in the ninjitsu of Clan Yashida.  He is skilled in stealth, acrobatics, climbing, swimming, and survival.  This training has also included an emphasis on small unit military tactics and intrusion.  <br/><br/><strong>Pilot:</strong> Both from the X-Men and Clan Yashida, Kenichi is trained in piloting land, water, and air vehicles.  He is far from universally proficient but has a strong foundation with most types of vehicles. <br/><br/><strong>Business &amp; Finance - legit and less so:</strong> As part of potentially having to inherit Clan Yashida, Kenichi has been taught and is practiced in business and financial matters.  Given that much of Clan Yashida is criminal, this includes knowledge of how criminal enterprises operate and use legit businesses as a smokescreen.  <br/><br/><strong>Multilingual:</strong> Kenichi is fluent in Japanese and English at the level of a native speaker.  He is highly proficient in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean, but not quite fluent.  He is conversationally proficient in French, Spanish, and Russian but his accent is atrocious.  <br/><br/>]<strong>Weaknesses</strong><br/></span></span><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"> Kenichi's exoskeleton is uniquely vulnerable to light such as lasers as it must allow light in for Kenichi to see. <br/><br/>The armor can also be penetrated by adamantium due it it's unique properties, though increasing the size of the armor can help evade attacks that penetrate it.<br/><br/>If his powers are blocked or he is surprised and not able to bring his armor up, Kenichi is a very athletic and highly trained human but has no special resistances.  He has no particular defense against psychic powers, though his will is strong. <br/><br/><br/></span></span></td><td>    </td><td>    </td><td><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><strong>factoids</strong></span></span></div><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"><br/>Harada Ichiki Kenichi is the product of the Krakoan law to "make more mutants" more than out of love between his parents.  Ichiki Hisako (Armor of the X-Men) and Harada Kenuichio (The Silver Samurai) connected on Krakoa due to shared heritage and their connections to Wolverine.  Hisako's pregnancy was a surprise to them both but one that she welcomed.  The two shared custody of the child and have grown to a point of respect and affection to one another but to say that they love one another would be rather generous.  They did marry, for the legal sake of their son.  The birth of Kenichi helped to guide Harada Kenuichio to the straight and narrow path and stay on it.  Mostly.  Despite becoming a hero and leaving his criminal and villainous path behind, Kenuichio still made sure that his son got the training of the Yoshida Clan and met his relatives there.  It's only proper for him to know his family, after all.  Kenichi spent his youth between Japan, Krakoa, and the United States and as a result feels that he part of all three and yet also separate from them.  He is also familiar with the methods and skills of organized crime while not being part of it.  Having completed training in a great many skills and areas of study, as well as having a degree in business, Kenichi has briefly served in Big Hero 6 in Japan as his father did before him before the events that bring a new generation of heroes to the fore begin.<br/><br/><br/><br/></span></span><br/><br/></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
