In August 1945, Logan is held in a Japanese POW camp near Nagasaki. During the city's atomic bombing, Logan saved an officer named Ichirō Yashida by shielding him from the blast.
In the present day, Logan lives as a hermit in the Yukon, tormented by hallucinations of Jean Grey, whom he was forced to kill to save the world.[b] He is located by Yukio, a mutant with the ability to foresee people's deaths, on behalf of Yashida, now the CEO of a technology zaibatsu. Yashida, who is dying of cancer, wants Logan to accompany Yukio to Japan so that he may repay his life debt. In Tokyo, Logan meets Yashida's son Shingen and granddaughter Mariko. There, Yashida offers to transfer Logan's healing abilities into his own body, thus saving Yashida's life and alleviating Logan of his near-immortality, which Logan views as a curse. Believing he is acting in his friend's best interests, Logan refuses and prepares to leave the following day. That night, Yashida's physician Dr. Green poisons Logan while he sleeps, but Logan dismisses it as a dream.
