Genji Shimada was born into the Shimada ninja clan and lived a life of luxury and privilege. He had little interest in the clan's illegal activities, and despite excelling in his ninja training, he preferred a playboy life style. This caused the rest of the clan to view him as a dangerous liability and resented his father for protecting him. When his father died, his older brother Hanzo gained control over the clan and pushed his brother to get more involved in the clan, sparking a fight between the two. Hanzo won this confrontation and believed to have killed his brother, in reality Genji survived and was rescued by Overwatch and the intervention of Dr. Angela Ziegler, also known as Mercy.
Overwatch viewed Genji as a potential asset against the Shimada Clan and offered to give him a new cybernetic body if he joined Overwatch and helped them against his former clan, Genji accepted the offer. After he brought down his brother's criminal empire however, Genji felt at war with himself. He was repulsed by the mechanical parts of his body and could not come to grips with what he had become. Genji left Overwatch and wandered the world in search of meaning. He eventually came across the omnic monk Zenyatta. Genji rejected Zenyatta's teachings at first, but Zenyatta would eventually become Genji's master. And Genji came to terms with his cybernetic body.
