Hanzo hattori - samurai shodown
Hanzo Hattori is a legendary ninja and the leader of the Iga ninja clan. He has two sons, Kanzo and Shinzo, one of which has been possessed by Amakusa. When it comes to the skills in Taijutsu, it is said his skills are un-matched. Although he never shows much emotion, he cares for his family very deeply. When Amakusa took over the body of his son Shinzo, he set out to rescue his son. Although Amakusa was defeated at the hands of Haohmaru, Hanzo was not able to retake his son Shinzo. The following year, Amakusa's castle appeared again and he was ordered to destroy the castle to restore peace. There, he found the body of his soulless son. Although he was able to retrieve Shinzo's body, his soul was still lost in Makai. In order to free Shinzo's soul, he leaves his village to find and defeat the source of the evil. After Mizuki was defeated by Haohmaru, Shinzo's soul came back to its body. But because Shinzo's soul was weakened, his mother Kaede gave away her life to save him. Hanzo was good friends with Zankuro before he became a demon.
Hanzo is based on a real historical figure, Hattori Hanzo Masashige, the leader of the Iga ninja clan of Japan. Fellow SNK character, Hanzou, is also based off of the same person. The name "Hattori Hanzo" also appeared in the 1980 movie Shadow Warriors, Makai Tensei, and 2003's Kill Bill.

The leader of Iga clan, Hattori Hanzo was one of the rare samurai who were also ninja warriors. He was a loyal servant to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who saved his master a few times from certain death. His primary weapon was a spear. In his older years, Hanzo became a Buddhist monk. He is one of the most famous warriors in Japanese pop culture, and inspired many a fictional warrior.

Hanzo Shimada's Drag Queen Names
Because he would be a deadly queen.
Do forgive my mistakes if you see any, I don't speak japanese (neither english lmao). Here are the main categories I've looked at to find inspiration.
Related to this post :
Japanese Gods (Buddism and Shintoïsm)
Enma-ō 閻魔王 King of Hell (Buddism).
Fudō Myō-ō 不動明王 God of fire and anger (Buddism)
Zōchō-ten 増長天 "he who causes to grow" King of the south. His symbolic weapon is the sword. Associated with the color blue (Buddism). Sounds like the legend of a certain dragon, huh ?
Izanami 伊邪那美 the creator deity of both creation and death in Japanese mythology, as well as the Shinto mother goddess (Shintoïsme).
Real persons who existed
Hattori Hanzō gave his name to Hanzo. In fact this surname means "demon"... FIERCE
Shimada Ichirō. Another samourai. He's famous because he assassinated a powerful politician in 1878.
Sada Yacco, geisha, descendant of a family of samurai.
Jingū, Tomoe Gozen, Nakano Takeko are all Onna-musha (女武者) female warriors in pre-modern Japan. They fought in battle alongside samurai men. Inspiring I guess.
Culture
Arashi アラシ : Best stack you can have in Oicho-Kabu, a traditional japanese cards game. In opposite the worst stack, called Yakuza, might be the origin for the term used nowadays to call the outlaw gangs . It's also a name that is still used, meaning "storm", or is a metaphor for emotional turmoil.
The Great Mirror of Male Love (男色大鏡 Nanshoku Ōkagami) is a collection of homosexuality stories by Ihara Saikaku, published in 1687.
Shimada Shinzaemon, hero from the japanese movie called "13 assassins".
Kuwabatake Sanjuro (桑畑 三十郎), a wandering ronin and master swordsman drawn into a gang war. He is a character from the movie Yojimbo.
Random japanese names
Reiki (Unisex) A practice of healing the spirit. Yeah Hanzo needs to be healed.
Rin : (Unisex) A cold, severe and dignified person. It's litteraly Hanzo's personality.
Ahmya (Female) means black rain. Melancholic, like him.
Random adjectives
Blue - 青 aoi
Redemption - 取り戻し torimodoshi
Honor - 栄誉 eiyo
Dragon - 竜 ryu
Bow - 弓 yumi
Arrow - 矢 ya
Archer - 弓術家 kyuujutsu ie
Let's mix my favourite ones ...
Arashi Saikaku Jingū Hattori Ahmya Ihara Blue / Aoi Zōchō-ten
...
Have I just done hours of research to realise that my favourite Drag Queen name for Hanzo would be Blue ?
YES
I just want him to walk into a room and say
Hi, I'm Blue.

Anime and games wanting to cash in on the Sengoku warriors’ fame just really gets weirder and weirder. This is an upcoming anime rhythm game scheduled for a 2023 release, called Sengoku A Live.
A time-space glitch has transported the samurai commanders from across different timelines (thus allowing them to appear in similar ages), and brought them to modern day Japan. They all then adopt modern names and become showbiz superstars.
The cast involves the “usual suspects” of every Sengoku anime ever: Nobunaga, Masamune, Shingen, Kenshin, Yukimura, and Mitsuhide. There’s also Kojuro, Mitsunari, Hanzo, Fuuma Kotarou, Toshiie, and a ninja who goes by Yuutarou. No Hideyoshi or Ieyasu this time.
I’m not sure how the time travel logic works here, or if the samurai are actually from a multiverse and not from “the past”. As the game is not released, there is not much detail of the story yet. Promo materials focus more on introducing the characters and voice actors.

A brief glimpse of my random constant thoughts
If Samurai Warriors 5 had a dub, Ponsi would voice Hanzo Hattori and Cubbie would be Sandayu Momochi, anyone else agree?

▬▬ι═══════ﺤ 🔥 || The road towards being the best Shirai Ryu warrior had been an endless road to fatigue, stress, contemplation, and betterment. Hanzo Hasashi still recalls heavy storm of tears of his youth, threatening to deluge over the caress of daily perspiration, as he desperately attempted to cross the broken bridges of regret he carried everyday. How the young apprentice’s heart wandered, with the trifecta of his body, mind, and soul hungry, his heart astray, despite vehement passion and abundant intensity he wielded, which still replenished his entirety. He could be severely damaged, distorted, and deranged in all forms and still force himself to move onward and forward, as if he was on the path to conquer the eternal war to make the Shirai Ryu the greatest and most respected clan of Earthrealm. 
Perhaps Grandmaster Hasashi has succeeded in making himself formidable and valuable, amidst the plethora of flaws and imperfections which make him painfully human. For there is something big living in his chest; as it aches with hunger, longing, inspiration, as he continues to feed them with defiant and resilient strength and intensity of his everburning fire. So long as he is trying, and completely aware that his destiny and success are the things only he can declare. 
Hanzo Hasashi has lived with the well-known implication of the ‘way’ of the sword, which is a complete philosophy as well as a military technique which centers on the sword. In its simplest, the Way of the Sword is an intense focus on learning how to use the samurai sword in the most effective way. In a more complex meaning, this Way is a complete devotion to a view of life based on the sword, its mystical qualities, and techniques of its use. To the Shirai Ryu Grandmaster, swordsmanship, combined with his essentric and unique use of the chained kunai became an art, with grace and discipline adding a focus on practice and perfecting movement. It is the unknown predictability which distinguishes the other warriors and instills unadulterated fear for those unprepared for his arsenal of skillsets. 
“I am whatever Earthrealm requires me to be,” for Hanzo Hasashi is stronger because he had to be, he is smarter because of his mistakes, he is content because he has overcome the sadness he has forever known and he is wiser because he has learned from his life, filled with strife and tribulations. Hanzo may ponder in thought, diving into the fathomless sea of emotions. Everlasting, neverending, much like the questions left unanswered by his old immature past life without somber quietness yet beautiful imperfections, as Hanzo poured his heart into the intricacy of kombat involved more than simply drawing the first blood and emerging victorious.
Kuai Liang should know this, for engrossing in vicious kombat entitles more than one-dimensional destruction and rebirth, but of pleasure and desire, which remain plentiful in his life. Almost simplistic are the demands of the life as the Shirai Ryu Grandmaster; grow, achieve, desire, learn, adapt. Anything beyond such a mentality hardly finds a suitable foundation to stand upon as a dedicated and formidable warrior of Earthrealm.
“The only manifestation I absolutely abhor and despise would be becoming unclear and unseen once again as the Netherrealm’s wraith; distant beyond past the painted resplendence of the reality, without bristles and struggles of inspiration that comes with being a mortal warrior. Scorpion’s motives were selfish and contagious like virus, multiplying and destroying the Earth and bringing embittered ire and vengeance.”  ▬▬ι═══════ﺤ 🔥 ||

naruto blogger reads another book about ninjas, more at 11
it should come as no surprize to y’all that I, someone who still reblogs naruto posts in the year 2023, picked up John Man’s Ninja: 1000 years of the shadow warrior.
and of course, as a naruto fan i was also comparing the actual history of ninjas in Japan to the naruto series. for example, the real Sarutobi Sasuke versus the characters Sasuke and Sarutobi Hiruzen, the historical Hanzo Hitori and the Hanzo and Danzo in the series. the political formation of the naruto ninja villages versus the historical pressures that made ninjas. and the more i read the more i lost what little respect i had left for the naruto series.
In the book, the author has one hilarious paragraph mentioning the naruto series. here it is:
“No account of modern ninja literature can omit Naruto, the multivolume manga series by Masashi Kishimoto. This is pure fantasy, with no pretense of any historical roots, and phenomenally successful, easily the best-selling manga of all time, with almost 60 volumes -113 million copies- sold in Japan. The anime versions (220 episodes in Japan, 209 in English) and video games and novels and card games and on and on and on have all had equivalent success.”
that’s it. it’s got nothing to do with historical ninjas and is very popular.
and on one hand i kinda wonder how much of naruto the author read, but on the other it’s pretty funny that a manga that spends 700 chapters butchering the interesting parts of the history of ninjas while trying to make random characters look cool by giving them names and other references to the historical ninjas got called “no pretense of any historical roots” to actual ninja history.
what’s even funnier is that Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles got 3 paragraphs with a plot summary pointing out where the plot was drawing from actual ninja history. Naruto didn’t get a plot summary because there’s nothing in the plot that reflects actual ninja history. The discrepancy that sticks out the most to me is the very brief history we got in Naruto of the change from there being no ninjas to there being ninjas. in naruto, the change is a magic alien man god who bestowed upon the human race his DNA (don’t argue with me about kaguya, she had two kids and one populated earth and the other the moon.)
But the real actual historical ninjas formed from when feudal lords were waging war against each other and the peasants whose land they were fucking up with their war and the samurai employed by the two lords all got together and said this nonsense has to stop. and then they worked together to stop it, usually by assasinating one of the feudal lords. let that sink in. marinade in your brain. soldiers from both sides of a war put their differences aside and worked together to kill one of their commanders because that would stop the war the fastest.
that is just so fucking cool. and kishi replaced it with an alien and his magic sperm. i hate that so much that i want to vomit. he didn’t have to do that. he could have written that chakra was a thing already that samurai used and animals! because animals use chakra in the naruto universe. so alien god daddy must also have used his sperm to bless cats and dogs and snakes and toads and slugs and fuck if i can remember all the species of animals that can also do ninjutsu off the top of my head. like he could of just had the same actual history of ninjas but do it with chakra. like let normal people be able to use chakra too but only ninjas are able to do cool shit with it because they’ve been trained by their super secret ninja village. like boom there you go. problem solved. like you don’t even have to get rid of the magic space aliens so long as the thing that gives ninjas value isn’t how much sperm they got from the magic alien god daddy.
mild tangent warning.
like years ago i remember reading an article about Harry Potter and how a parents group criticized the books for the whole magic is a thing you’re either born with or not instead of magic is a thing anyone can use so long as you study it and work hard. because one narrative encourages children to apply themselves and the other teaches that some people are naturally superior to others because of their DNA and how that sounds a lot like something hitler would have given two big ole thumbs up to.
but i digress. anyway the whole DNA superiority thing is almost interesting in one regard in naruto because literally everyone is obsessed with sasuke or the uchiha clan in general. because of the sharingan which requires magic uchiha DNA to exist. and it’s been noted by smarter naruto fans than me that naruto and sasuke are stand ins for kishi and his twin brother. so he wrote a character based on his twin brother and made him genetically superior to his own stand in. when they’re literally twins. light googling, identical twins. they have the same DNA. like what can possibly be going on in ones mind when they feel inferior to their identical twin sibling and express this inferiority complex through art that results in genetic superiority. this is the whole reason i’m still into naruto. i enjoy studying kishi. he’s a weird guy.
…this is turning into more of a naruto critique than a book review. oopsies.
anyway, this book took a really interesting turn by arguing that the Nanako Spy School that was operating in Japan during the second world war was a ninja school. and then i learned a whole bunch of things about Japanese world war two history that’s actually cool as fuck. it talks about Onoda Hiroo, the guy who lived in the jungle in the Philippines for 30 years, who was a student of the Nanako Spy School. like everything about the Nanako Spy School is just so fucking cool. the central japanese government fucked up everything they achieved, but considering japan was allied with germany we can all thank god that they did fuck up as bad as they did.
warning: whiplash inducing tone shift ahead
it’s also worth noting that i checked this book out in *checks notes* May????? and i literally finished it today. i was having such a good time reading this book that when i felt the action ramping down i put it down and just never picked it back up because i didn’t want the fun to end. turns out i had exactly 2 pages and 5 lines left to read. what i thought was more to read was the bibliography. i am such an idiot.

❛ Do you even know where you are headed? ❜ -- @ataleoftwodragons (hanzo & colleen) 
“Does anyone know where they’re heading?” she asked. “I mean the currents of life just move us in any direction they want. We can try and stand against it, but we only threaten to be swept away by current,” she said. “I’ll admit I find myself adrift lately, things that felt so sure when I was younger only have gotten cloudier with time.
“And you know sometimes I just feel like I’m getting left behind. All my old friends seem to be Avengers now, and I get called to baby-sit my goddaughter. Who’s cute, don’t get me wrong. I love Dani, but like there I am baby-sitting while everyone else gets to do a jail break.” she said. “And I think about how my grandfather raised me. I was raised to be a warrior, a samurai. Is baby-sitting the best use of my time? Of my skill? I’m the heir to a school of marital art a thousand years old, I feel like I’m letting down my grandfather, my mother, my entire family to play bodyguard to a toddler.”
She paused a moment, “Oh you, mean physically. Yeah,” she said, coming to a stop at the edge of an alley. “There’s a camera above the backdoor, would you please do the honors in taking it out since you have the ranged weapon?”
