Some characters leave and some return in Stephen Amell’s Arrow as the DC hero known as Katana from the show’s earlier seasons is now set to return.
According to a report from Green Arrow TV.com Rila Fukushima will be reprising her role in Arrow. In the show, she portrays Tatsu Yamashiro who is, of course, better known to DC fans as Katana. She was last seen in the Arrow‘s fourth season.
Katana was a major character in Arrow‘s third season. In the show’s flashback sequences, she teamed up with Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen to help take down a general who was attempting to unleash a deadly virus upon the world. In the present, Katana nurses Stephen Amell’s character back to health after being stabbed and apparently killed by Ra’s Al Ghul. Throughout the rest of the season, Katana remained an ally and eventually was forced to kill her husband.
Rila Fukushima will reportedly only be appearing as DC hero Katana in one episode. Details on the episode are currently unknown but it is currently titled Welcome to Hong Kong. It is likely that Katana will reunite with Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen in the city in Arrow.
