hanzo (world heroes)

Hanzo Hattori Masanari (服部 半蔵, Hattori Hanzō) is the protagonist of the World Heroes competitive fighting video game series.

Hanzo is based on the Japanese historical figure of the same name, who was head of a ninja clan in Iga and was born in August 10, 1555.

He is Fuuma Kotarou's rival. In his initial planning stages, he bore a very striking resemblance to Ryu from Street Fighter. Hanzo's hairstyle and padded outfit were devised to give his design its own uniqueness. His IQ from his World Heroes profile is listed as unfathomable.
