History[]
Kenuichio Harada was born to the Japanese crime lord Shingen as a mutant with the power to generate a tachyon field around him.

Taking the nom-de-guerre Silver Samurai, Harada sold his services as a mercenary indiscriminately to others. He first worked for the fiend Mandrill and in that capacity battled Daredevil. Next, a took a job from Viper to bolster HYDRA's power with his own special talents and fought Spider-Man. After the death of his father, the Samurai endeavored to claim his criminal organization, the Clan Yashida, from his half-sister Mariko, a love interest of Wolverine. Though he was opposed by Wolverine this time, the Silver Samurai later came to his aid in freeing Jessica Drew from the influence of a magical blade. After Mariko died, the Silver Samurai became leader of the Clan Yashida but was dishonored when he briefly lost control of it to a Mongolian crime kingpin and has since returned to being a mercenary, traditionally a rival of Wolverine.
