Quote: 願ねがえば、平和へいわは訪おとずれよう. (Peace shall visit those who long for it.) Personality: After meeting his master Zenyatta and receiving his teachings, he grew into a calm yet decisive character with a noble spirit and a clear sense of purpose. Genji survived a near-death encounter at the hands of his own brother and was rescued by Overwatch. To save his life, Overwatch upgraded his body into a cyborg, turning him into a living weapon. After the fall of Overwatch, Genji struggled with his nature and purpose until he found peace through training with the omnic monk Zenyatta. He eventually responded to Winston's recall. As the youngest son of the Shimada clan head, Genji grew up with the sword. While training under the swordmaster Asa Yamagami, he became close friends with her daughter, Kiriko. Although Genji showed exceptional talent and enjoyed his ninja training, he had no interest in the clan's illegal business and spent most of his time living a playboy lifestyle. Many in the clan considered the irresponsible Genji a liability and resented his father for coddling him. When the clan leader suddenly died, Genji's brother Hanzo demanded that Genji take a more active role in their father's empire. Genji refused, sparking a confrontation. Tensions escalated into a violent duel that left Genji on the brink of death.
