Hanzo Hattori (WR)

Hanzo Hattori (服部 半蔵, Hattori Hanzō), whose real identity is Shinzo Hattori (服部 真蔵, Hattori Shinzō), is a character in Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage. He accepted the mantle "Hanzo" and is rarely referred to by his former name.

He is voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi.

Story
Hanzo receives secret orders from the shogunate. The officials received intel regarding the plans of the Three Blades of Dominion calling for the overturning of the government, he seeks the whereabouts of Jigen Taishi, believed to be the scheme's ringleader, and sets out alone for Riten Kyo. In his ending, he eliminates the traitor ninja and successfully reports his findings to the shogun without losing face for his clan. His father watches from afar, proud of his son's accomplishments.

Personality
Shinzo mimics his father's professionalism and behavior to a point where most people know the difference (Haohmaru, Nakoruru, and Oboro seem to know Shinzo's identity). When not adopting the Hanzo name, Shinzo is a quiet and refined man of politics. He secretly wonders if he is worthy of his father's image.
