Mariko Yashida
Mariko Yashida is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character has been depicted as Wolverine's romantic interest.
She was portrayed by Tao Okamoto in the 2013 film The Wolverine.
Created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, the character first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #118 (February 1979). In an interview published in Back Issue! magazine #4, Byrne claimed that Mariko was based on Lady Toda Mariko, a character in the 1975 novel Shōgun: "I had just read Shogun, which Chris had not read at that point. I just absolutely wanted to steal that character, just shamelessly steal the character. And as you probably know, she was created to die.”
Mariko Yashida is the daughter of Shingen Yashida, the half-sister of Kenuichio Harada, and cousin of Sunfire and Sunpyre and the aunt of Shingen Harada.
Mariko first encounters the X-Men when they return from a sojourn in the Savage Land and are asked to help stop the terrorist Moses Magnum in Japan. She encounters Wolverine in a private moment, which developed into a mutual attraction.
Some time later, Mariko is married by Shingen to yakuza gang leader Noburu-Hideki to solidify her father's connections to the Japanese underworld, and is subjected to domestic abuse by her husband. After realizing her father's intentions, Mariko plans to kill him and then commit seppuku in recompense. Logan, learning the truth about this manipulation and inspired by a personal epiphany about humanity, kills Shingen himself. Upon her father's death, Mariko becomes head (Oyabun) of the yakuza crime family Clan Yashida.
Mariko becomes engaged to Wolverine, but their wedding is halted by the supervillain Mastermind, who uses a mind control device to change Mariko's mind. When the control is lifted, Wolverine and Mariko resume their romantic relationship after a period of separation, but have not reconsidered marriage.
Mariko is later poisoned with tetrodotoxin from a blowfish by the assassin Reiko in the employ of her rival Matsu'o Tsurayaba. She asks Wolverine to kill her to avoid a painful death and preserve her honor. Wolverine kills her and vowed to avenge Mariko by severing parts of Matsu'o's body every year on the anniversary of her death.
