895311Deadline is on with the first casting news for Arrow Season 3 (and darn it, we were hoping to finish our roundtables before then!)

daoki_profileDevon Aoki will be playing Tatsu Yamashiro, better known to fans of DC Comics as “Katana.”

Here’s how Deadline describes Arrow’s take:

She is a Japanese martial arts expert who wields a deadly sword, a blade from which her codename Katana is derived. In Arrow, Tatsu will be one of Oliver’s mentors in the flashbacks and a critical influence on his journey to eventually become The Arrow of present day.

…but will this Outsider show up in the present day as well?

Deadline is describing this as a “major guest role.”
