During the atomic bombing of the city, Logan saves an officer named Ichirō Yashida by shielding him from the blast, using his healing abilities. In the present day, Logan lives as a hermit in the Yukon, tormented by visions of Jean Grey, whom he was forced to kill to save the world. His solitude is interrupted by Yukio, a mutant who can foresee people's deaths, who finds him on behalf of Ichirō. Now the CEO of a powerful technology zaibatsu and dying of cancer, Ichirō asks Logan to come to Japan so he can repay his life debt. Logan reluctantly agrees and travels to Tokyo, where he meets Ichirō's son, Shingen, and granddaughter, Mariko. Ichirō offers to transfer Logan's healing powers into his own body, hoping to cure himself and relieve Logan of his near-immortality. Logan refuses, believing it is not in anyone's best interest. As he prepares to leave, Ichirō's physician, Dr. Green, poisons Logan while he sleeps, but Logan dismisses the incident as a dream.
