Silver Samurai

Kenuichio Harada, also known as the Silver Samurai, is a supervillain from Marvel Comics. He appeared in the 82nd episode of Death Battle, Shredder VS Silver Samurai, where he fought against The Shredder from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.
==History==
Kenuichio Harada was born the illegitimate son of a Japanese crime lord, frowned upon for most of his life, especially after discovering latent mutant abilities. Harada mastered the ways of the medieval samurai and became a ronin, a warrior for hire, and even a Hydra bodyguard. After his father's death, he sought to obtain rightful inheritance of the Yashida Clan only to be stopped by his own sister, Mariko. Refusing to accept defeat, he challenged his sister to a duel and won, only to watch her die by assassination. After Mariko's death, he became the leader of the Clan Yashida, but his leadership came and went. To this day, he remains a ruthless mercenary and a deadly adversary to anyone he faces, especially Wolverine.
