Biography[]

The Wolverine[]

Shingen wanted to take over his father, Ichirō Yashida's business and arranged a marriage between his daughter, Mariko Yashida and Noburo Mori so that he could gain political access. However, these plans were foiled when he found out that Yashida had instead arranged for Mariko to inherit his company, since it would prevent him from gaining control of the company, as well as enabling Mariko to avoid marrying Noburo.

Shingen offered the corrupt Noburo money in exchange for helping him, he sent the Yakuza after Mariko to kill her. They brought Mariko to Shingen, who attempted to kill her before Viper and the Black Clan intervened. Viper stabbed Shingen in the neck with a poison coated pen, but he survived and attacked Yukio in a set of armor. Shingen gained the upper hand before Logan recovered from his injuries (sustained cutting a bug out of his heart) and fought Shingen.

Shingen was unable to inflict any lasting injury on Logan, who decided to spare him and let him live with the fact that he tried to kill his daughter, Mariko. Shingen charged at Logan and impaled him in the chest with a sword. Shingen asked Logan what kind of monster he was, to which Logan replied that he was the Wolverine before stabbing Shingen in the neck with his claws.
