Shinobu Kageyama

Shinobu Kageyama is a young mutant introduced in Peach Momoko's reimagined Ultimate X-Men, set in a distinctly Japanese-flavored Ultimate universe. She navigates a world where mutants face suspicion and danger alongside fellow students like Hisako Ichiki and Mei Igarashi.

Shinobu Kageyama burst onto the scene in 2024 as one of the freshest faces in Marvel's Modern Age, debuting in the landmark first issue of Ultimate X-Men — a collector-recognized key — courtesy of the singular artistic vision of Peach Momoko. Part of an exciting new chapter in Marvel's Ultimate universe, Shinobu shares her pages with a compelling cast that includes Hisako Ichiki, Mei Igarashi, and even the likes of Spider-Man and the formidable Shadow King. With 25 catalog appearances already logged across Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate X-Men by Peach Momoko, she's a character whose story is still being written — and for fans who love getting in on the ground floor of something special, Shinobu Kageyama is absolutely worth watching.
