Post Yukio

Yukio

YukioReal Name: Yukio (full name unrevealed)
First Appearance: Wolverine #1 (September 1982)
Group Affiliation: Former employee of Lord Shingen
Known Allies: Wolverine, Storm, Silver Samurai, formerly Mariko Yashida
Major Enemies: Lady Deathstrike, Hand, Ogun, Phalanx, formerly Lord Shingen, Silver Samurai

Much has yet to be revealed regarding the early life of the woman known as Yukio. Her first known exploits came during her employ as an assassin to Lord Shingen, a powerful Japanese crimelord and the father of Lady Mariko Yashida. When the X-Man Wolverine travelled to Japan to meet with his lover, Mariko, Yukio drugged Wolverine with poisoned shuriken and took him to Lord Shingen so that Shingen could shame Wolverine by defeating him in battle.

Later, Yukio illicted Wolverine's help in order to kill a crimelord named Katsuyori whom Yukio said wanted to kill her. However, it was actually a plot by Shingen to kill Katsuyori, who was a rival crimelord, as well as to kill Wolverine. Yukio killed Katsuyori by planting a bomb in his automobile. During a battle with Katsuyori's Ninjas, Mariko saw Wolverine slip into a berserker rage, and she spurned him. Yukio, however, began to fall in love with Wolverine.

Realising that Wolverine's heart belonged to Mariko, Yukio escaped capture from Shingen, but not before being brutally beaten. When Mariko's life was threatened by her then-husband, Noburu-Hideki, Yukio came to her rescue and slew Mariko's abusive husband.

Later, Yukio aided Wolverine, Mariko, and the X-Men Rogue and Storm in thwarting an attempted take-over of the Clan Yashida by the Silver Samurai and his ally, the Viper. Yukio impersonated Mariko at a meeting where the Silver Samurai attempted to kill her. It was at this time that the long-lasting friendship between Yukio and Storm began.

Later still, Yukio teamed up with Wolverine when he sought to rescue his X-Men teammate, Kitty Pryde, from his former teacher, Ogun. Yukio saved Mariko's life once more, this time from an assassin in the employ of Shigematsu, an ally of Ogun's.

Visiting Storm in the United States, Yukio became embroiled in the battle against the techno-organic alien beings known as the Phalanx.

After Wolverine's adamantium was removed by the mutant named Magneto and the X-Man began to mutate further, he placed his foster daughter Amiko in Yukio's care, and the ronin raised the girl as if she were her own.

Yukio was seemingly crippled after an attack by Lady Deathstrike and Omega Red, who were working with Wolverine's arch-nemesis Sabretooth to hurt everyone that the X-Man held dear. She has since recuperated.

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 130 lbs
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black

Powers and Abilities:
Yukio is a highly formidable hand-to-hand combatant, possessing considerable expertise in Japanese martial arts. Before her paralysis, she was a superb all-round athlete with great agility.

Yukio has great expertise in hurling bladed weapons, and has been known to employ knives, darts, and shuriken.

Given their interchanges during UXM #312-313, Gambit might be counted under former enemies.

Shouldn't you put Amiko in allies. As seen in the past Amiko can take care of herself somewhat.

I'm not sure if this is just fan-boy rumours but was it ever to be believed that Yukio and Storm had a lesbian relationship???
Also MY GOD I dont really keep up with the Wolverin issues that often but I cant believe Yukio is crippled!!!
Is she bound a wheelchair for life now?
I say give her some adamantium bones and she'll be right.

In Contest of Champions II, Storm's fondest wish was to be living Yukio's lifestyle with her. Many people assumed this was a sexual relationship as well.

Well Yukio will be appearing in the upcomming Storm LS (which was originally to be a GN but who knows what happened) Not sure if this would fall in after her crippeling or before it. But we may get to see more of that relationship between her and Ro :}

It was #3. Yukio was in Gambit's flashback of his meeting Alexandra Davies.
