Wasabi-No-Ginger is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist David Nakayama, he first appeared in Big Hero 6 #1 (September 2008), a book about a titular superhero team in which Wasabi is a member.

Wasabi-No-Ginger is a trained chef and a member of Big Hero 6. His first mission with the six was taking on a villain named Badgal and her three minions; Whiplash, Brute and Gunsmith. He is once again with his teammates, this time helping Spider-Man take out Doctor Octopus' satellites. Wasabi and Baymax jump head on into battle, taking on Everwraith.

Wasabi-No-Ginger uses various swords to fight. He can also give form to his Qi-Energy, usually materializing it as throwing knives that can paralyze opponents.

Wasabi-No-Ginger, renamed Wasabi, appears in the 2014 animated film Big Hero 6, voiced by Damon Wayans, Jr.. In the film, the character is black. Wasabi is depicted as a smart, slightly neurotic, heavily built neat-freak and an expert on laser cutting at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Also, he stated his name is a nickname that Fred gave him after he spilled wasabi on his shirt one time. On the character, co-director Chris Williams said "He's actually the most conservative, cautious—he [sic] the most normal among a group of brazen characters. So he really grounds the movie in the second act and becomes, in a way, the voice of the audience and points out that what they're doing is crazy." This version wears a robotic suit that was built by Hiro that generates plasma blades from the wrists of the suit.
