Yoshiro Hachiman

Stepping out of the late-nineties Marvel universe with a debut in the memorable Juggernaut #1 (1999), Yoshiro Hachiman is one of those intriguing figures who quietly carved out a niche across nearly two decades of Marvel continuity. Created by Joe Casey and Terry Shoemaker, this Modern Age character keeps striking company — sharing pages with the likes of Conquest, Decay, and Stonecutter — and has turned up in the pages of Avengers and Avengers Assemble, placing him squarely within Marvel's action-packed corner of the universe. With an entry in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z, Hachiman earned the kind of canonical recognition that separates a background face from a character worth tracking down. For collectors who love unearthing the deeper cuts of Marvel's rich roster, Yoshiro Hachiman is exactly the sort of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
