Known Background Information
Born to a small family in Japan, Kazaka Takeru was the only son of the famed hero Steel Samurai. A noble man, the Steel Samurai firmly believed in honor and justice, wielding his blade in the name of all innocent men and women in his country. He hoped to instill these traits in his son, doing everything he could to set him on the right path in life. Kazaka, however, was more fascinated in using strength to obtain what he wanted in life. He saw his father as a weak man, caving in to the people's will, and thought only the strongest should survive.
Eventually, Kazaka abandoned his family and moved to the United States in the hope of pursuing the American Dream. Hearing about the splendor of the great Paragon City, he decided to move there and make that his home. One day, whilst on his way to his job, he came across a dying hero. The hero urged the man to find him help, as his emergency mediporter was severely damaged. Noticing the high tech armor and blade he wielded, Kazaka took no pity on him. He stole the man's gear, leaving him to die. Donning this advanced weaponry, Kazaka Takeru became the Cyber Samurai, dedicated to becoming the strongest person in the world.
Powers and Weaknesses
The Cyber Samurai's armor provides him with increased protection to most forms of attack. It also provides him with extra mobility, allowing him to move quicker and leap farther. His blade, a combination of durable, lightweight carbon and a Rikti alloy, allows him to slice through most object with ease.
Due to his technologic source of strength, electrical attacks will cause substantially more damage than most other forms of offense. Disarming him will make him incredibly vulnerable to attack.
Known ways to properly thwart the Cyber Samurai include, but are not limited to:
- Short circuiting his armor
- Ambushing him
- Taking away his katana
