Background of Genji

Genji is the youngest son of Sojiro Shimada, the head of the Shimada criminal empire. When his father died, his brother Hanzo wanted Genji to be more involved in the empire, but Genji refused. The resulting battle between the brothers left Genji with life-threatening injuries. Rescued by Overwatch and rebuilt with cyborg parts, Genji became a formidable warrior, using his super-speed, strength, and ninja abilities as an Overwatch agent. Genji is known for his incredible agility and high-speed attacks.

In his Nihon skin, Genji carries a unique red and white sword used for his Dragonblade ability. When attacked, Genji can use his Dragon blade to deliver killing blows to enemies in close range. This is Genji’s Ultimate ability and makes him a formidable threat.
