About Me

His real name is Thomas S. Arashikage (Arashi = "Storm" and kage = "shadow" in Japanese) and he served on the same LRRP as future Joes Stalker and Snake-Eyes. After Vietnam, Storm Shadow visited his family in Japan. His family, the Arashikage, had actually been a fierce ninja clan but for many centuries had remained clandestine. Hoping to learn the ways of the ninja, Storm Shadow studied under his estranged uncle's tutelage.
When Snake-Eyes arrived in Japan following the death of his entire family in a horrific car crash, he was invited to study with the clan. He quickly began to surpass Storm Shadow's abilities and was his uncle, the Hard Master's, choice to succeed him as the head of the clan. This caused a rift between the two friends, and Snake-Eyes decided that he would leave the clan. However, before he could, an assassin (who later would be revealed as Zartan) killed Storm Shadow's uncle while he was demonstrating a ninja technique. Storm Shadow, seeing the assassin fleeing in a Cobra helicopter, left the clan to follow the assassin. Due to his abrupt disappearence, and the fact that the killer appeared to use a technique that Storm Shadow was a master of, Snake-Eyes, the Soft Master and the remaining clan members thought that Storm Shadow was to blame for the murder.
Is this a sign of new leadership needed? /B?
