365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…May 27th - YukioLittle is known about the early life of the adventurous master thief known as Yukio. She pulled off capers alongside Gambit some years back, before falling in with the league of assassins known as The Hand. Yukio ended up in the employ of the Japanese crime boss, Lord Shingen, leader of The Clan Yashida. This resulted in her facing off against Shingen’s foe, The X-Man known as Wolverine. Intrigued by Wolverine and having grown contemptuous of Shingen, Yukio decided to assist Wolverine in taking the crime lord down. Following Shingen’s death, Yukio aided his daughter, Mariko, and Wolverine against attempts by The Viper to take over Clan Yashida. During this time, Yukio began a lasting friendship with one of Wolverine’s teammates in the X-Men, Storm. Storm very much admired Yukio’s free-spirited nature and devil-may-care attitude; so much so that Storm cut her hair and changed her costume as part of an effort to be more like Yukio. As an ally of the X-Men, Yukio would go on to have numerous adventures alongside the Mutant heroes. This included battles against The Phalanx, Lady Deathstrike and Omega Red. Wolverine entrusted the care of his foster daughter Amiko, to Yukio, who has promised to raise her as though she were her own.Two versions of Yukio have appeared in the Fox Films’ X-Men movies. Actress Rila Fukushima portrayed the character in the movie, The Wolverine; while actress Shioli Kutsuna portrayed a different version of Yukio in the movie, Deadpool 2. The heroine first appeared in the pages of Wolverine Vol. 1 #2 (1982). -- source link
