Katana (Tatsu Yamashiro (山城 タツ, Yamashiro Tatsu)) is a fictional superheroine that appears in comic books published by DC Comics.
First appearing in 1983, Katana is a samurai warrior whose skill with a sword allows her to fight for justice as a superhero.
Her tragic backstory includes the death of her husband, Maseo, whose soul becomes trapped in her blade, the Soultaker.
