Storm Shadow's real name is Thomas S. Arashikage (ÈüÞ¹ûPq) (Arashi = "Storm" and kage = "shadow" in Japanese). Best known as the Cobra Commander's ninja bodyguard, and assassin at times, he is the only character to have changed sides several times; conflicted in loyalties between Cobra, G.I. Joe, and his blood-brother, Snake Eyes. He usually wears a white uniform and mask. When out of his uniform, he is shown to be Japanese, with black hair and dark eyes. In 2007, the character's creator, Larry Hama, revealed an alternate name for the character, Tomisaburo Arashikage (PqÌ Î), in the solo series Storm Shadow. His tattoo is a hexagram of the I Ching named âß (jì jì), or "Already Fording".
A fully licensed replica from the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra movie, this Storm Shadow Katana features a hand-forged, high-carbon steel blade with double fuller grooves, etched emblem, and a leather-and-rayskin-wrapped grip. The sword is precisely replicated from the actual movie prop and includes a wood scabbard with authentic details, a decorative display stand, and a certificate of authenticity. Each amazing weapon is individually serial numbered, for collectibility.
This sword measures 38 1/4-inches long, with a blade length of 27-inches. The katana is crafted of Damascus steel with a handle of hardwood with rayskin and genuine leather wrap. The sheath is made of hardwood and leather wrap.
