![]() That family member was later killed, and she went after the killer, the Daichi-Doku's Oyabun (of which her relative was a member), who did not wish to see the weapons destroyed and tried to stop the Suicide Squad. She declined on the basis of her giri-ninjo, although she was willing to help if the need was truly desperate. During that time however, she was approached by a family member of her husband, who wished her to accompany the Suicide Squad on a mission to destroy a large horde of weapons that was about to be sold to the Yakuza. Bounded by giri-ninjo (a debt of honor even unto death), Tatsu left the team so she could tend to Halo's wounds. Nonetheless the Outsiders were forced to defend Markovia against the Manhunters, but during the fight Halo was knocked into a coma, saving Katana's life. Her teammates in the Outsiders, namely Halo and Looker were able to save her using other tengu and the tengu leader, who aided them in battle.Īfter a while, the team disbanded after various tragic events surrounding Geo-Force's parents and Markovia. Although Tatsu had left her past behind, the Oyabun returned in her life and sent a tengu after, with which he captured her. They became the official agents of Markovia and moved to the city of Los Angeles where they made their headquarters in the Markovian embassy, while retaining another secret HQ just off the shore. By undoing the ritual however, her husband returned into the sword as well.Īt one point the Outsiders split from Batman's leadership and took up residence in Markovia where they were funded by the Markovian crown (Geo-Force is a prince of the royal family). Katana had to fight them all and after a long battle that took its toll, Katana was able to reclaim the Soultaker and kill Takeo, and she could finally put an end to some of her ghosts. Among them were legendary mercenaries and assassins, but also Maseo, who was now a slave to the Oyabun. Performing a specific ritual, the Oyabun and Takeo managed to recall the souls that inhabited the sword, who proceeded to take corporeal form. Takeo took the sword to his master, the godfather of the Yakuza, known only as the Oyabun. Secretly he switched swords with her and left for Tokyo with the Outsiders on his tail. Tatsu became Halo's guardian and the two moved into the penthouse.Īt the same time, Takeo was still at large and had followed Tatsu to Gotham City. The team managed to end the Baron's tyranny in Markovia and moved to Gotham City, where they set up their headquarters (a former penthouse of Bruce Wayne, secretly the Batman). Katana and Halo became founding members of the team, alongside Black Lightning, Geo-Force and Metamorpho. The two joined up to rescue Batman, who got captured by a blunder by Halo, and his employee Lucius Fox from their captor, Baron Bedlam.īatman resigned his membership in the Justice League when they refused to help him in his pursuit of the Baron, and he decided instead to form the Outsiders, who were meant to be more pro-active against threats. After the fight she encountered a young girl who was named Halo. ![]() She took the codename Katana after the sword that she wielded.Įventually Tatsu journeyed to Markovia, a small Baltic state, where she had tracked down Karnz, and she was successful in killing him. After much time she graduated from his tutorship and left for America where she intended to use her talents to fight for justice. Tatsu began training as a samurai under a master called Tadashi. She listened, and watched as her house burned. When she attempted to go after her children, she heard her husband's voice telling her to turn back- coming from the sword. Tatsu arose just in time to see her husband die, and engaged Takeo, gaining the upper hand and disarming him. In the course of the fight, Takeo accidentally started a fire, and while distracted by his children, Maseo was slain with the Soultaker. ![]() Tossing the non-powered sword to his brother and demanding he duel for Tatsu, he quickly struck Maseo down. One night, Takeo took both swords to the Yamashiro residence. ![]() He was presented with a pair of matched swords by General Karnz, one of which Takeo favored due to its mystical properties, which would come to be known as the Soultaker. ![]() Meanwhile, Takeo rose in rank of the Yakuza, and one of his exotic tastes included ancient weapons. As a result, his family disowned him.Īfter the deaths of Tatsu's parents, (cause unknown) she and Maseo started a family of their own, and she gave birth to twins, Yuki and Reiko. By this time, he had joined the Yakuza, receiving a large dragon tattoo across his chest to mark himself as such. This angered Takeo, who refused to attend the couple's wedding. Two brothers, Maseo and Takeo Yamashiro, both proclaimed their love for her. Tatsu Yamashiro was an average Japanese girl, save for her proficiency in the martial arts. ![]()
