Biography
Shiro Yoshida (Japanese: 吉田 四郎, Hepburn: Yoshida Shirō)
He had a sister by the name of Leyu Yoshhida. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #392)
At this time, his uncle Tomo Yoshida wanted to make a demonstration of Japan's power to the world and intended to use his nephew for the task. In this moment, Tomo had learnt of the research of Lord Dark Wind that could bond the unbreakable metal Adamantium to a human skeletal system. Yoshida had intended for this to be used to create an army of invincible warriors that could be used to defeat their enemies. To acquire the research, Yomo had hired the services of the mercenaries Mystique, Rogue and Blindspot. Sunfire was set to join them on his first mission in stealing the data from Lord Dark Wind's research facility in the Tokyo Bay. His powers were invaluable in fighting off Lord Dark Wind's followers but he was knocked out in the attack with Rogue using her powers to temporarily assume his abilities which caused further fires in the bay. In this time, Lord Dark Wind managed to escape with the hard drives containing his research thus denying Tomo Yoshida access to them. Thus, he was forced to go forward with his plan without the Adamantium and simply rely on Sunfire alone. (Rogue v3 #10)
He came to serve as an operative of the Yakiba (Japanese: Cutting Edge) that were a branch of the Japanese military that were responsible for maters of security and served as their super-powered Mutant agent. (X-Men v2 #93)
