The Silver Samurai (Keniuchio Harada) is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe who was once a foe of Wolverine, but is now a trusted ally. His first appearance was in Daredevil #111 published in 1976.

Silver Samurai, the illegitimate son of Shingen Yashida, is a mutant with the power to charge his Katana (sword) with mutant energy (a tachyon field) enabling it to slice through any metal, accept for adamantium.

Since his sister Mariko's death, Harada has become the head of his clan. He is currently attempting to pay off his clan's debts to the criminal underworld and restore its honor. Though, once one of Wolverine's greatest enemies, he has apparently impressed Wolverine so greatly that Wolverine has intrusted the care of his adopted daughter to Keniuchio.

The Silver Samurai is the leader of Japan's first super-team, Big Hero 6. The Silver Samurai is one of the few rare cases of a truly rehabilitated super villain.
