History

Shiro Yoshida was the Sun Emperor, one of the leaders of the geopolitical region named Hi No Kuni, which was among the seven sovereign bodies whose combined power governed the entire world. He was the head of one of the three Pacific clans that consolidated into the Harada-Yoshida alliance, the other two being the Silver Samurai and the Viper. In turn, the three heads of Hi No Kuni were part of a secret council of world leaders under the leadership of the world's imperator, the Maker, who orchestrated geopolitical conflicts and alliances to rally their citizens together under a common cause.[1]

The Sun Emperor and his associates attended a gathering of world leaders held in Latveria by the Maker. When the ceremony was interrupted by an army of super-soldiers from the future sent by the warrior Kang to kill the Maker, the world leaders engaged and defeated the combatants.[2] Afterward, they convened in the Maker's castle, where they explained to the new member of their alliance, Howard Stark, the insidious workings of their secret society.[1]

After Stark betrayed the Maker, trapping him inside his headquarters, the City, as it closed itself off from the rest of the world, the Sun Emperor and the rest of the cabal gathered to discuss their course of action going forward in light of the Maker's absence, and agreed on waiting two years to see if the City opened up.[3]

Personality

Yoshida was a very reserved man: he used to never talk in public, at least not while wearing his mask. People that wanted to talk to him, needed to talk to his right hand, the Viper, first.[1]
