Katana, Tatsu Yamashiro

Katana's tragic backstory includes the death of her husband, Maseo, whose soul becomes trapped in her blade, the Soultaker. Katana thought she would never know love or peace ever again until she met you, soon, her guard was down, but that didn't mean we gave up fighting forces of evil. My own katana came from the mysterious Oracle who lived at the Meiji Shinto Shrine, and this was called the Dragon Zodiac blade as it could summon Asian dragons' energies in my battles.

Katana is a highly proficient hand-to-hand combatant and swordswoman, having studied martial arts as a child and later being trained by the samurai Tadashi. From her time with the Outsiders and Batman, she develops strong tactical skills. Katana's Soultaker sword, along with its non-powered twin, is forged in the 14th century by Muramasa, whose swords are said to be cursed and make those who are evil commit evil acts. It sometimes takes the souls of those it kills, storing them inside the sword, where they can engage in limited communication with whoever wields it. These souls and spirits can be freely reborn/reincarnated by the means of a sacred ritual, under which they serve their summoner, even if it is against their will. Its cutting edge is sharp enough to rend the Dilustel skin of Captain Atom and Major Force. Working together, living together, has made her even more powerful with martial arts and Kendo because we challenged each other to get better and better in our fighting evil.
