[edit] Rise of Cobra (2009 Movie)
Hard Master:Portrayed by Gerald Okamura.
Hard Master was the honorary title of a man who was an expert of Martial Arts. He helped to train both Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow in their youth.
[edit] History
He wears what appears to be a Chinese Shaolin Monk clothing, with bald hair and a long greying black goatee. He appears only in flashbacks where Snake-Eyes attempts to steal food from his home when he was younger. The result was a fight between Snake-Eyes and his nephew Storm Shadow. Impressed with Snake-Eye's skills he decided to train him, despite his nephew's protests and watched them spar constantly. Displeased with his nephew's lethal fighting style he praised Snake-Eyes for his more peaceful ways and praised him when he finally defeated Storm-Shadow using tonfas while the later used an acutal katana. He appears to have been stabbed in the back by Storm-Shadow by his sword. Snake-Eyes saw Storm Shadow flee as he found his Sensei murdered, with Storm Shadow's blade and soon made a Vow of Silence, which he has kept till this very day.
