Bandeiras Hattori (バンデラス・ハットリ) is a character in The King of Fighters series. He debut in The King of Fighters XIV as a fan of ninjas and the founder of his own "Brazilian Ninja Arts" Dojo.

He is voiced by Eiji Miyashita.

Personality[]

Bandeiras is clearly proud of his skills and is eager to show them off to the world. He believes himself to be a true ninja and tries to act the part, and while he clearly has the skills, he ultimately comes off as being an obsessed fanboy who's not nearly as knowledgeable on ninjas and Japanese culture as much as he would like to believe.

Due to his excitable nature, his outlandish appearance, and trying a bit too hard to act like a ninja, he comes off as as being far more silly and comical than he realizes and is not taken seriously by the others, including his own teammates. He doesn't hide his excitement when he meets Mai Shiranui in person, who berates him as a "fake ninja" when he offers to be her student, yet changes her mind to accept his offer in the end, whether Bandeiras won or lost against her. Said excitement leads him into trouble when he visits Japan in his team's ending.

Abilities[]

  • Multiple Attacks: Bandeiras can perform multiple hand strikes at a fast rate.
  • Ninjutsu: As a skilled ninjutsu fighter, Bandeiras can utilize some of the ninja techniques, such as teleporting/shadow cloning.

  • Willpower - Due to his dream and wishing to be a ninja master, his hard work and training has paid off, allowing him to participate in numerous athletic activities.

Fighting style[]

Bandeiras fights with ninjutsu with moves varying from strikes to throws.

Music[]

  • COCO - The King of Fighters XIV

Trivia[]

  • During his original reveal trailer, his name was spelt "Banderas", which means "Flags" in Spanish. His name was later changed to "Bandeiras" in subsequent trailers and the final game, which is Portuguese for the same word.
    • The mistaken usage of a Spanish word as a name for a Brazilian character caused some outrage from the Brazilian fanbase, as Brazil is one of the few non-Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America, being the only country there to speak Portuguese, that language mistake is considered offensive by many Brazilians. SNK had made a similar mistake with the character Marco Rodrigues, whose surname originally spelled "Rodriguez", a version of the name more common to Spanish-speaking countries, while "Rodrigues" is more common to Portuguese-speaking ones. Marco's name's retcon ocurred when SNK officially acknowledged him in the team story for Team Art of Fighting on the website for The King of Fighters XV
  • Many of Bandeiras's moves pay homage to Hanzo Hattori from the Samurai Shodown.
