Shiro Yoshida’s mother was exposed to the atomic devastation of Hiroshima during World War II and died giving birth to him. He was raised by his father Saburo, a member of the powerful Japanese Clan Yashida who pursued a diplomatic career and became Japan’s ambassador to the United Nations. Shiro was often left in the care of his uncle Tomo, a fanatic anti-American. After Shiro’s mutant powers first manifested, Tomo sought to use him as a weapon against the U.S., giving him a costume and calling him “Sunfire.”-Marvel.com
