'Arrow' Casts Rila Fukushima as Katana
Yukio, played by Rila Fukushima, fought to protect James Howlett in The Wolverine, and now the actress is heading to the DC universe to help Oliver Queen, a.k.a. Green Arrow! Fukushima has been cast as Tatsu Yamashiro, a.k.a. Katana, and she'll mentor Oliver Queen during the flashback sequences in Hong Kong. If you know anything about Katana, odds are you know she's quite skilled, so she'll obviously be a good person to teach Ollie some new moves.
Devon Aoki originally landed the role but, according to Deadline, she couldn't follow through because of a scheduling conflict. Viners, are you excited for more Arrow? Speak your mind in the comments below.
Season 3 of Arrow will begin October 8th on The CW.
