Scarlet Samurai

Real Name: Kenichi Oyama
Background: A man born three hundred years too late, Kenichi Oyama yearned for the days of the samurai, when warriors lived for honor. Devoted to traditional swordsmanship, but bitter at his life and his country's destiny, he adopted the identity of the Scarlet Samurai, and wandered the world as a ronin, a samurai without a master.
He has come into conflict with the Gauntlet many times, and upon one occasion, nearly killed Gauntlet's partner Falcon.
Status: Active
Skills: Oyama is a highly-skilled martial artist and swordsman.
Technology: Oyama employs traditional samurai technology with a modern twist. For example, his armor is made of layered tritanium, and his monofilament katana is capable of slicing steel.
