Sojiro Shimada

Sojiro Shimada was the leader of the Shimada Clan, and the father of Hanzo and Genji.

Story
Sojiro was the family head and crime boss of the Shimada Clan, a powerful underworld organization dealing in arms, illegal substances, and assassination. He was once approached by Talon, hoping to recruit him, but he refused, finding that their aims did not coincide with his own.

While his eldest son, Hanzo, was groomed to take over as leader of the clan, Sojiro spoiled his youngest son, Genji, who ignored the family business and engaged in frivolous pursuits. This unfortunately led to tragedy following Sojiro's death, as the other clan elders provoked a near-fatal confrontation between the two brothers that ultimately resulted in Hanzo deserting the clan and Genji destroying it.

Trivia

 * Sojiro gave Genji the nickname "Sparrow" in his youth.
