Ryuku Orsono was a Japanese teenager who became a bushidoka upon his mother's death, which fulfilled a long family line of honorary heroes. Ryuku swore to avenge his mother by slaying the demon Tengu responsible for her death. He armed himself with a cadre of ancient weaponry -- each piece infused with the spirit of one of his ancestors, including his mother. He encountered the Tengu in the streets of Japan where he also met the former Teen Titans known as Beast Boy and Flamebird. The Tengu, who was possessing a civilian at the time, relinquished his hold over the boy and took possession of Beast Boy instead. Ryuko knew that the only way to destroy the Tengu was through decapitation and so he attempted to cut off Beast Boy's head. Flamebird contacted her allies in the Titans who arrived on the scene just as the Tengu took a hold of Beast Boy. When they learned of Ryuku's intent to decapitate him, they tried to stop him. Ryuku managed to elude their grasp and the battle tides turned when the Tengu brought more of his goblin brethren into the Earth realm. While the Titans battled the lesser Tengu, Bushido attacked the possessed Beast Boy. He sliced open his throat, forcing the Tengu to take his leave of him. Beast Boy survived and the Titans ran to his aid. Bushido went off into the night. [1]
Bushido never forgot his encounter with the Titans, and later traveled to Los Angeles for an impromptu Titans West recruitment drive. [2]
Bushido later joined an improvised Titans group in battling the rampaging Superboy-Prime. He was one of the three fatalities of the battle. After Pantha and Baby Wildebeest were killed, Bushido attacked Superboy and was blasted in half by Superboy's heat vision. [3]Swordsmanship: Bushido was an expert martial artist and was proficient in the art of swordsmanship.
Bushido's primary weapons were the naginata and the jitte, as well as the kama yari, shuriken, hachiwara and a flintlock pistol. Each weapon was imbued with the soul of the warrior who wielded it, and these spirits guided Ryuko in battle.
Bushido, also known as SwordTech, is a recurring skillset for Samurais in the Final Fantasy series. It is first seen used by Cyan in Final Fantasy VI, then later seen as Auron's Overdrive set in Final Fantasy X. It also appears as the skillset to the Samurai (Final Fantasy X-2) dressphere

Bushido (武士道,Way of the Warrior) is the name of Auron's Overdrive in Final Fantasy X. Each overdrive has a standard and enhanced mode which is determined by inputting a button sequence within a certain time limit. If the sequence is unsuccessful, Auron will perform the standard move. A successful input will cause additional attack power and status effects to be added to the move. Also, the faster the button sequence is entered, the more damage the Overdrive will cause. To obtain the four Overdrives, a total of 10 special Movie Spheres, named "Jecht Spheres" due to their content, need to be collected all over Spira.
The name of his Overdrive is taken from "Bushido": the code of conduct and way of life of the Japanese warriors, the Samurai, which is Auron's primary class.

Bushido is the skillset for the Samurai Dressphere. It has many attacks and support abilities, but use is difficult because of the Samurai's low MP.
Bushido is also Auron's Limit in Kingdom Hearts II. Auron attacks the enemies around Sora using Shooting Star and Banishing Blade, and finishes with Spiral, which resembles Tornado (minus the flames).
Bushido is Lloyd S. Goldfine, a snow ninja from Queens who wears his father's samurai helmet into battle.
No, really.
Bushido was part of a G.I. Joe strike force sent to the Himalayas of Tibet in order to prevent Cobra-La from using Unicron to destroy the human race. Once there, they were attacked by the malicious Monstructor, who slaughtered the Joes until he was incapacitated by the G.I. Joe Laser Squad. Later, Bushido assisted in capturing members of the Cobra-La Royal Guard. Black Horizon #2
