Sunfire - Character Guide

Story Act: Japan

Role: Ally

Voice Actor: Jonathan Tanigaki

Shiro Yoshida, Japan's Fire

Sunfire — Shiro Yoshida, Japan's premiere fire-wielding mutant — anchors the Japan act's superhero corner. His presence ties the Tokyo missions to the wider mutant politics of the story: with the Hand operating in the shadows and Trask's program reaching overseas, Shiro is the local power the plot bends around.

Role in the Campaign

Jonathan Tanigaki (Paradise, NCIS: Hawai'i) voices Shiro. The Japan act's set pieces — the plane, the arcade, the volcano-side ruins — are the game's visual showcase, and Sunfire's storyline is the thread that stitches them together.

Fire Against the Hand

The Hand's ninja encounters define mid-game combat: fast, parry-heavy group fights. Sunfire's corner of the story explains why the clan's operations matter beyond Japan — and why Logan cannot simply walk away after Deathstrike.

💡 Japan is where blue-glow parries stop being optional — the Hand punishes dodge-spam harder than any enemy family before it.
