Katana (real name Tatsu Yamashiro) is the main deuteragonist in Beware the Batman.

She is voiced by Sumalee Montano.

Personality[]

Tatsu is a competent, intelligent individual who is focused on her goal. She is also a great detective able to search for Bruce's secret bookcase. At times, though, Tatsu can be arrogant, impulsive, hot-tempered, and disobedient. Early on, she was quite distrustful of Batman, considering him to be a "nut", and has been shown to have opinions differing from Batman's on the necessity of killing in certain situations. Batman has stated that Tatsu can have an ego, which she argued was simply pride in her work. Like Batman she can be cold and distant but can also have a sense of humor as shown with her interaction with her godfather, Arthur and originally had with Jason Burr. She also shows an amicable and compassionate side, shown towards Jason and also shows a seemingly mentor and student or brother and sister like bond with Bruce as shown when they are in the field.

Sometime during the same mission, she later faked her death in a fire and disappeared with the Soultaker Sword, believing it to be too dangerous for either the League or the CIA to possess, in which unknowing to her, Jason Burr (the man she loved), Bethanie Ravencroft (a friend of hers), and Robert Brickson (Slade's big brother) were killed.
