Samurai (Toshio Eto (江藤俊夫, Eto Toshio)) is a Japanese superhero in DC's Super Friends animated television series. He was one of the later additions to the team along with other ethnically diverse heroes in an effort for the show to promote cultural diversity. The character was designed by cartoonist Alex Toth and voiced by Jack Angel. Following sporadic guest appearances, Samurai becomes a prominent team member in the series' later seasons.
Samurai is later introduced into the main comics continuity during Infinite Crisis.
