Deadline reports that 2 Fast 2 Furious and War star Devon Aoki has landed what is described as a "major recurring guest role" in the highly anticipated third season of Arrow. She will play Tatsu Yamashiro, a character that they describe as a , "Japanese martial arts expert who wields a deadly sword, a blade from which her codename Katana is derived." Apparently, Tatsu will be one of Oliver's mentors in his flashbacks now that the action has shifted from the island to Hong Kong, and her appearance will have a, "critical influence on his journey to eventually become The Arrow of present day." Whether that means we'll see her in her Katana alter-ego in present day Starling City remains to be seen, but this is a very exciting piece of casting for the DC Comics series. What do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

Sweeeeeeetttttt love Katana! She also first appeared in a Green Arrow comic, so Arrow is a great place for her. Especially with Oliver being in Hong Kong now!

Please wear a costume!!! Season 3 just got a shit ton better. I want her in present day as well, and have her flashback training sequences line up with her training Laurel in the present.

Thought she quit acting to be a mom? That's why she turned down Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

I hope they don't change the costume at all, no need for changes for this one.

This actress is gonna be a nice fit for Arrow, can't wait.

That Bird of Prey spinoff is looking far more likely as well.

Use this as a chance to redeem yourselves after that attempt at Shado.

Well, the costume is boring and generic. The New 52 look actually has some uniqueness to it.
