" Yous and I know well plenty, we two who make and wield the sword, that while their castle was indeed strong stone, the Shimada were no gods, only people—and criminals at that. Only the Shimada understood that honor and loyalty forge the strongest bond between ruler and ruled.

The Shimada association is a association of ninja based at Shimada Castle, in Hanamura.[i]

History [ ]

The clan was founded centuries ago,[2] and operated out of Shimada Castle, with the town of Kanezaka serving as their seat of ability.[iii] It operated on a system where the eldest son of the family unit's head would go leader.[two]

While they were criminals, the Shimada understood that honor and loyalty forge the strongest bond between ruler and ruled. They asked much of those who followed them, but they inspired them to give it. And in render, the Shimada clan led with integrity and treated the people of Kanezaka with respect.[iii]

The Shimada's ability grew over the years, enabling them to build a vast criminal empire that profited from lucrative trade in arms, illegal substances,[2] and assassination.[1]

A snag was reached when Hanzo Shimada was expected to replace his deceased male parent, Sojiro. Upon his father'due south expiry, the clan elders instructed Hanzo to straighten out his wayward younger blood brother, Genji Shimada, and then that he, besides, might help rule the Shimada empire. When his brother refused, Hanzo was forced to kill him. This act broke Hanzo'southward heart and drove him to pass up his begetter's legacy, ultimately leading him to carelessness the clan.[two] Seeing this as betrayal, the association declared Hanzo an enemy and assassins were sent time and fourth dimension once more to kill him.[4]

The Shimada faced some other hurdle every bit they were targeted past Overwatch. In an ironic twist, Genji had survived Hanzo's attempted bump-off, and been rescued by Overwatch, turned into a cybernetic ninja. Transformed into a living weapon, Genji unmarried-mindedly prepare nigh the chore of dismantling his family'southward criminal empire, a chore in which he apparently succeeded. His mission complete, Genji left Overwatch.[5]

In the modern day, the Shimada appear to yet be active, at least in limited chapters.[half-dozen] However, the Hashimoto clan took over Kanezaka, where the Shimada once held sway.[3]

But the two brothers argued over who could better dominion their country. Their quarrel turned to rage and their violent struggle darkened the skies, until the Dragon of the South Wind struck downwards his brother, who fell to earth, shattering the land. The Dragon of the South Wind had triumphed, merely as time passed and he realized his confinement, the sweet of victory turned to ash.

For years, the bereft dragon's grief threw the globe into discord, and he knew just bitterness and sorrow. One day, a stranger chosen up to the dragon and asked, "O Dragon Lord, why are you so distraught?" The dragon told him, "Seeking power, I killed my brother; but without him, I am lost." The stranger replied, "Y'all have inflicted wounds upon yourself... simply at present, yous must heal. Walk the earth on two feet equally I do; find value in humility. Then, you lot volition detect peace."

The dragon knelt upon the basis. For the beginning time he was able to clearly see the world effectually him, and he became human. The stranger revealed himself as his fallen brother; reunited, the ii ready out to rebuild what they had once destroyed.
