Shiro Yoshida

Shiro Yoshida is the Japanese mutant superhero Sunfire, a proud and fiercely nationalistic warrior capable of generating and manipulating superheated plasma. A sometime X-Man and Japan's foremost mutant champion, he is known for his fierce independence and reluctance to work alongside others.

Shiro Yoshida made his catalog debut in 1997's X-Men #5, brought to life by a powerhouse creative team including Scott Lobdell, Mark Waid, Roger Cruz, and Steve Epting — and has been turning up in comics ever since, with a presence stretching all the way to 2024. Published under the Panini Deutschland banner, this character moves in seriously distinguished company, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Wolverine, Logan, Rogue, Gambit, and Sunfire across titles including Die furchtlosen X-Men and X-Men. It's a compact but enduring footprint in the Modern Age — the kind of character who rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig into the international side of the Marvel universe.
