Fan Casting Yashida in Darren Aronofsky's The Wolverine

The elderly patriarch of the House Yashida and former Master of the Black Clan. Decades ago, as a young soldier in WWII, he spared Logan's life—an act of mercy that would define both their futures. Now dying, he summons Logan to Japan to fulfill a cryptic promise: to "honor the gift" he was given. Yashida is a man haunted by his past, a good soul cursed with a terrible responsibility. From beyond the grave, his wisdom guides Logan toward the truth—and toward a destiny neither of them could have foreseen.
