Ryoko Oshiba

Ryoko Oshiba stepped into Marvel's Modern Age in 2005, born from the creative partnership of Akira Yoshida and Paul Smith within the pages of X-Men: Kitty Pryde — Shadow & Flame — a focused, atmospheric miniseries that brought Kitty Pryde into a world steeped in Japanese mystique. Sharing those pages with the likes of Kitty herself, the dragon Lockheed, and the formidable Ogun, Ryoko keeps genuinely compelling company. With only a handful of appearances to her name, she's the kind of character that rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig into a beloved corner of the X-Men universe.
