A Japanese mutant specialized in the traditional samurai arts, he wore silver armor ressembling the equipment of an ancient Samurai warrior.<br/>This led to him gaining the codename ‘SILVER SAMURAI’.<br/>A criminal and a mercenary, Harada would quickly end up affiliated with Viper. His lethal skills, tall and muscular physique and great loyalty made of him an excellent bodyguard ad enforcer.<br/>Facing many superheroes such as Spiderman, Daredevil and the X-Men over time, he frequently came to the aid of Viper, effectively becoming her only recurrent and genuinely appreciated lover.<br/><br/>Eventually Kenuichio Harada became the Oyabun (head) of Clan Yashida after his half-sister Mariko Yashido died.<br/>He began to follow a path of redemption, attempting to restore his personal honor and that of his own.<br/>He also attempted to cut ties with the Yakuza. Once among Wolverine’s greatest enemies, he ended up a respected ally. Wolverine even entrusted him with the care of his adopted daughter ‘Amiko Kobayashi’.<br/><br/>Wolverine and Harada teamed up against the monstrous ‘Doombringer’ and to rescue Amiko and Yukio from kidnappers.<br/>During his time as a true hero, he became the team leader of the Japanese superhero team ‘BIG HERO 6’ defending Japan from a wide variety of threats in ways similar to the Avengers, the X-Men or Alpha Flight.<br/><br/>The mutant Blindspot messed up his mind with her nefarious powers, making him doubt himself and abandon his path of redemption. Regardless of his fall from grace, somehow Harada became chief security officer for the Prime Minister of Japan.<br/><br/>During a quest regarding his past, Wolverine once more ended up facing Silver Samurai. The Samurai proved to have the superior skills but the regeneration powers of Wolverine turned the tide.<br/>He cut of Harada’s hand, mentally underlining his respect for the skills and resolve of his old foe and ally.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/WolverinevsSS1_zpsdd3eee0d.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Darthvegeta800/media/WolverinevsSS1_zpsdd3eee0d.jpg.html) </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/WolverinevsSS3_zpsd04317af.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Darthvegeta800/media/WolverinevsSS3_zpsd04317af.jpg.html) </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/WolverinevsSS4_zpsddaed2fd.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Darthvegeta800/media/WolverinevsSS4_zpsddaed2fd.jpg.html) </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/WolverinevsSS5_zpse6c18434.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Darthvegeta800/media/WolverinevsSS5_zpse6c18434.jpg.html) </div></div><br/><br/>Somehow Silver Samurai regianed his hand and returned to the path of the warrior.<br/><br/>Silver Samurai was unjustly locked up in the Raft but Madame Hydra and the Hand broke him out. They hoped he would lead the Hand to victory and unite the Japanese Criminal Underworld. Afterwards he would have to face the puppet masters controlling Hydra and SHIELD. Harada however refused and allied with the Avengers to defeat the conspirators. Having once more proven his honor, he rededicated himself to serving Japan and its people.<br/><br/>Silver Samurai was one of the few mutants that kept his powers post M-Day. Maintaining a position of importance in Japan.<br/><br/>Silver Samurai and Wolverine had a complicated past, at a given moment he guarded a supernatural katana ‘Muramasa’ at the request of Wolverine, which could both kill Logan and his eternal enemy Sabretooth.<br/><br/>At a certain moment Silver Samurai would also help ‘retrain’ Wolverine through intense duelling.<br/><br/>After the Skrull invasion, Viper left Silver Samurai to rejoin Hydra. Silver Samurai would be forced to face a large Group of warriors of the Leviathan Group, seemingly having no chance… he clearly was victorious though… resurfacing relatively unscathed.<br/>His seemingly last stand took place while defending his castle from a Group of Ninjas of the Red Right Hand. They had been trained specifically to defeat Silver Samurai. Mortally wounded, he still overcame their warriors and archers. Dragging himself to the Grave of his half-sister Mariko, he died.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/Wolverine1_0024_zps6b12ffc4.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Darthvegeta800/media/Wolverine1_0024_zps6b12ffc4.jpg.html)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/Wolverine1_0025_zpsf70ed1bf.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Darthvegeta800/media/Wolverine1_0025_zpsf70ed1bf.jpg.html)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/Wolverine1_0026_zps8625284d.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Darthvegeta800/media/Wolverine1_0026_zps8625284d.jpg.html)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/Wolverine1_0027_zpse122d035.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Darthvegeta800/media/Wolverine1_0027_zpse122d035.jpg.html)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/Wolverine1_0028_zps30a161a0.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Darthvegeta800/media/Wolverine1_0028_zps30a161a0.jpg.html)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/Wolverine1_0029_zpsaec48f3c.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Darthvegeta800/media/Wolverine1_0029_zpsaec48f3c.jpg.html)</div></div><br/>In Hell, he blamded Wolverine for the deaths of so many people but was slain by what seemed to be Satan.<br/><br/>Nonetheless, Silver Samurai has now returned, mysteriously resurfacing…alive and well!
