Niboshi Saburou

Will is the Steel Samurai during the events of the first Phoenix Wright game. He is accused of murdering Jack Hammer, his co-star who played the role of the Evil Magistrate (Steel Samurai's archnemesis).

Powers' imposing figure belies his gentle and somewhat naïve nature, and he is extremely sensitive about the way he looks. He enjoys working with children, but always wears a mask in his acting roles so that he would not have to show his face in public and "ruin kids' dreams". Despite his friendly and kind-hearted nature, he has a tendency to be pessimistic and has a weakness for celebrity gossip.

Jack Hammer despised Powers for being the Steel Samurai, since the kids loved him and despised the Evil Magistrate, which was Hammer's role. Because of this, he drugged Powers's lunch with sleeping pills. The plan succeeded; Powers was feeling sleepy, and went to take a nap in his dressing room. Hammer then proceeded to take Powers's Steel Samurai costume and pretended to be him by dragging his left ankle to fool the security cameras and Oldbag. His plan was to frame Powers for the events that would take place.

During the events of "Justice for All", it is revealed that he developed a crush on Adrian Andrews. He was also a witness in "Farewell, My Turnabout".
