Bushido is a superhero and Honorary Titan.
Character history
Bushido's exact background is unknown. For his prowess with the sword and martial arts he became a target for the Brotherhood of Evil, who were preparing to eliminate young superheroes all around the world. In order to establish a world-wide network for mutual aid, Robin visited Bushido in Japan, just in time to aid him against a band of ninja assassins. After the enemy was beaten, Robin handed Bushido one of the Titans' communicators.
Right afterwards, however, the Brotherhood executed its plans, and Bushido was ambushed and defeated by Katarou and flashfrozen by Professor Chang, along with other captured Honorary Titans and Robin himself. However, some Titans did escape captivity and regrouped under Beast Boy's leadership to attack the Brotherhood's base, in the course of which the captured Honorary Titans were de-frozen by Más y Menos and quickly joined the fight; Bushido dealt out his share by defeating Katarou and Atlas. After the successful completion of the fight, he is seen socializing with the other Titans in Titans Tower and later participating in apprehending Doctor Light.
