== Charactah Account ==
Hanzo is the young and rigorous leader of the Iga clan. After Fuuma beat him when he was 19, he declared the other ninja as his rival and trains to not lose to him again. Sent to a world unknown to him, he continues to train and obtain enlightenment as a warrior. He considers himself naive, though he has hopes to one day be the greatest.
Hanzo never refuses a challenge and despises evil, so when Doctor Brown invited him for World Heroes tournament he accepted right away. After winning the tournament and defeating Geegus, Hanzou leaves without attending the award ceremony. He enters the future competitions to not only face stronger opponents, but to also defeat antagonists who are usually the one hosting the competitions.
