Saizo Hattori

Saizo Hattori (破鳥 才蔵) is one of the characters from Power Instinct Matrimelee in the Power Instinct series, having been a prominent character since the first game in the series.

Story
After his participation in the first few Goketsuji Touranents, Saizo finally has conquered one of his goals: To get rid of his sociophobia! Now he can stand to be without his helmet in front of people (hence why he is no longer wearing it in Matrimelee). He received an invitation for the Matrimelee tournament where the reward for the winner is getting engaged to the King's daughter.

Saizo thought that having a girlfriend would be an important step to becoming a complete and normal man, so he accepted the invitation to participate in the Matrimelee tournament.

Personality
Saizo is reclusive and wore his mask and helmet so that he could avoid contact with others, but over the course of the games he has made efforts to overcome this and become a more normal person. He also tends to speak in a code language called "Popapepa" when he doesn't want people to know what he is saying (apparently, only Poochy can understand that language). He likes the word "effort", and considers his mask to be a good luck charm. He is also good friends with Clara Hananokoji and Poochy, and has a mutual hatred with Keith Wayne.

Fighting Style
Saizo, being a ninja, is capable of using quick attacks to confuse and defeat his foes.
