Breaking News: Arrow Casts for Katana in Season 3!

Some very important news from the Arrow Team today that they casted Devon Aoki as Tatsu Yamashiro aka Katana for season 3 of the CW series Arrow.

This is a big new addition for the Arrow cast and it will add a whole new perspective to the story. From what the sources have said, she is going to be Oliver's mentor from the past in flashbacks that they are going to add in and is most likely to appear in the present day world as well.

For the people that don't know, Katana is a Japanese martial arts expert that has had some minor roles in the DC universe as of late. She was first sighted as a part of the Outsiders series back in the earlier years and got a reboot like many others in the comic world after Flashpoint where she joined up with Black Canary and Stirling making the Birds of Prey. It was after this that Katana was put into Green Arrow #27 where she was added to the origin of Arrow. I believe that her role in season 3 will have its main influence from this comic.

She is also a great pick for the role. She looks the part and she looks like a natural holding a katana in her hand. She has had work in a few other movies, such as Sin City, Dead or Alive, and 2 Fast and 2 Furious but I feel that this new role will be her best as of yet.
