Skins

Classic Genji (Default)
Genji was a young prince of the Shimada Clan, but upon his father's death he refused to take responsibility over the clan. Furious, his older brother Hanzo lashed out at him, beginning a brutal fight between the siblings. Genji was severely injured and thought to be dead, but he was saved by Dr. Ziegler and the wonders of modern medicine. After Mercy saved Genji's body, Zenyatta saved his soul, helping the transformed Shimada find inner peace. Now Genji enters the Nexus to reclaim his honor and atone for his mistakes.

Master Genji (Master)
After claiming the leadership of the broken Shimada Clan, Genji washed away the corruption and criminal activities the clan was known for. Genji reshaped his clan into one of honorable pursuits and overwhelming support to both the nation of Japan and to the re-founded Overwatch organization. Genji hopes that the good he has done since his rebirth as a cybernetic will make up for his past, but even more so he hopes that one day Hanzo will return to their clan and be brothers once more.

Unlocked Through Progression

Oni Genji (Epic)
Due to his resurrection by the twisted Imp Dr. Ziegler, Genji rose as an Oni - a vicious demon bent on revenge. Genji returned to his formed homeland of Hanamura, slaying anyone in his way. He ended the remains of his former clan, all expect one. Genji seeks the last two pieces to end his torment and return to eternal rest: the death of the one who resurrected him and the one who murdered him.
