Bushido is a DC Comics superhero who was a short-lived member of the Teen Titans.
Bushido appears in Titans Annual #1 (2000) and was created by Geoff Johns and Ben Raab.
Ryuku Orsono is a Japanese teenager who becomes a bushidōka upon his mother's death, which fulfills a long family line of honorary heroes. He first encountered the Teen Titans in Titans Annual #1, when they come to Japan in order to free their team member Beast Boy from the possession of the demon Tengu. Bushido uses his mystical sword to sever the head of Beast Boy; the magical sword drives out Tengu without harming Logan.
In Titans Secret Files #2, Bushido joins the short lived Titans L.A. before its dissolution.
During Infinite Crisis, Bushido is killed by Superboy-Prime alongside Pantha and Baby Wildebeest.[1] [2] Later, during Blackest Night, he is revived as a Black Lantern and attempts to get revenge on Superboy-Prime before being killed once more.[3]
Bushido is skilled in the martial arts, especially in swordsmanship. His primary weapons are the naginata and the jitte, as well as the hachiwara and the shuriken. Each weapon is imbued with the soul of the warrior who wielded it, and these spirits guide Ryuko in battle.[4]
