Steel Samurai

The Steel Samurai is the main protagonist of The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo, a fictional tokusatsu television series featured in the Ace Attorney video game series. In the show, he is a warrior who fights against the villainous Evil Magistrate.
== History ==
The character of the Steel Samurai was conceived by Sal Manella, a director working at Global Studios, who directed the show while Dee Vasquez was responsible for its production. When Jack Hammer, the actor who portrayed the Evil Magistrate, was killed in self-defense by Vasquez in Turnabout Samurai, the show was put in danger of being cancelled. Although Phoenix Wright was able to prove the innocence of Will Powers, another actor who was falsely accused of killing Hammer, the show was still ultimately cancelled. But seeing the spirit medium outfit of Wright's assistant Maya Fey, Manella was provided with the inspiration to create a sequel series called The Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo. Another sequel called The Nickel Samurai was also created later on, but it was also cancelled after the actor who played the titular character, Matt Engarde, was convicted of murder in Farewell, My Turnabout.
In spite of the the previously mentioned sequels, the original show remained popular enough to receive a touring stage show where the Steel Samurai got married with the Pink Princess and had a child called the Iron Infant with her. The show was especially popular in the Kingdom of Allebahst, the stage show even being shown in a theater in the country's embassy.

A statue of the Steel Samurai similar to the one that can be seen in Miles Edgeworth's office in the Ace Attorney games is one of the items that can fall out of Hsien-Ko's sleeves when she enters a stage. The statue is also one of the item that can be found by Phoenix Wright when he searches for clues that are on the ground.Category:Video Game Heroes
