History
|
Hanzo was the leader of the ninjas of the hamlet of Rokkaku Hamlet and was well regarded for his ability and insight. During the Gate Rune War, Rokkaku was attacked by and fell to Teo McDohl's Armored Cavalry, bringing it under the control of the Scarlet Moon Empire. Hanzo helped Kasumi escape the carnage, and ordered her to tell the Toran Liberation Army of what had happened.
Following the last battle, Hanzo appeared before McDohl, introducing himself and admitting he and the other surviving Rokkaku ninjas had hid until he had chosen to reveal himself. Kasumi was surprised at Hanzo's survival, and Hanzo apologized to her for having to keep it a secret. He would assist the Liberation Army for the remainder of the conflict.
Following the Toran Liberation War, Hanzo welcomed Kasumi back to Rokkaku. He would also receive Fuma, who had left the village previously.
During the Dunan Unification War, he bequeathed his subordinates Sasuke and Mondo to the New State Army as part of their alliance with the Toran Republic.
