Dr. Shiro Ito was a war criminal who developed chemical weapons for the Japanese military during the 1930s. He later became a member of the Injustice Society of America under the alias, Dragon King.

Early life
Shiro Ito was born in 1901 in Japan. He became a scientist and a member of the Japanese Military who was active in the 1940's and 50's. During that time he created a number of weapons such as Bacilli bombs that spread plagues throughout China in 1932 and 1933. He was eventually captured and was believed to have been executed on March 13, 1947.

He somehow survived his execution and had a daughter called Cindy Burman with an unnamed woman who later died while Cindy was young through unknown circumstances. He then began to experiment on his daughter giving her superhuman abilities such as regeneration and implanted wrist blades.
