Hank Hill

Hank Rutherford Hill, also known as Hank Hill, is the main protagonist from the King of the Hill series.
== Charactah Account ==
Hank is a propane salesman who loves his job nearly as much as he loves his family. He's pretty introverted and can't cope with emotion very well, but he's clearly the most level-headed of the cast. He is the husband of Peggy and father of Bobby.
Hank is often regarded as the well-meaning, hard-working, traditional American. Everybody looks to Hank when they have any seemingly useless, or dull work that needs to be done. On the other hand Hank is easily angered when things don't go his way or when another person breaks something of his. When his dog Ladybird attacked a black repairman working on their heating system, he was accused of being racist, but it was later proven that she is only prejudiced towards repairmen in general, as she knows Hank is usually the one to make household repairs. Hank has briefly worked at Mega Lo Mart as a propane salesman trainee when he lost his job at Strickland Propane. Hank's reserved nature probably resulted from years of verbal abuse from his father Cotton Hill. However, if sufficiently provoked, Hank is just as willing to fight as his father, often proclaiming, "I'm gonna kick your ass!"

== Trivia ==
* Peggy claims that Hank does not like to go to the doctor because he does not enjoy removing his pants.
* In "Sleight of Hank," it is discovered that Hank hates magicians ever since David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear.
* He has been arrested five times throughout the series.
* Hank Hill has brown eyes.
* Hank's Social Security Number (SSN) is 135-01-6629.
* Hank appears to be a fan of Ford products as he has owned multiple: His first car was a blue 1970 Ford Maverick. At the beginning of the series, he owns a red 1993 Ford Ranger "appearing as a 1986 model in the episode it was destroyed." Following the destruction of his Ranger, Hank buys a red 1999 Ford F-250.
* Hank suffers from a number of physical conditions.
** In his youth, he was diagnosed as having a "narrow urethrea". This was the cause of a number of drawbacks throughout Hank's life, such as the Army rejecting him on the grounds of not being able to "relieve himself under pressure," and causing great difficulty in his and Peggy's attempts to conceive a child (thought they ultimately did have Bobby).
*** Hank was also diagnosed as having a greatly-reduced sperm count compared to most men his age, which has been attributed to his uptight attitude constantly leading to physical stress.
** Hank suffers from "Diminished Glutes syndrome", causing him to have an underdeveloped rear end. This would cause Hank to experience great pain when sitting down to the lack of padding around his tailbone. Due to this, Hank wears a special prosthesis to avoid pain while sitting down, and attends meetings with a group of similarly-afflicted people as a means of emotional support.
** At one point, Hank suffered from severe constipation. The problem eventually grew so severe that he was scheduled to have a colonectomy to resolve it. He resorts to a high-fiber diet and takes multiple laxatives, among other measures, but is constipation is resolved only after succumbing to his emotions and embracing Peggy with open feelings. The other measures take immediate effect, causing Hank to run to the bathroom, suggesting this was psychosomatic.
** Hank was born with an asymmetrically-shaped nose, causing his left nostril to be larger than the right. He received corrective plastic surgery as an adult after his nose was broken while preparing for a football game.
* Hank attends a United Methodist Church with his family, but is not very familiar with the finer aspects of the faith. (Won't You Pimai Neighbor?)
* Hank is staunchly opposed to most modern medicine, typically only resorting to BC headache powder when necessary.
* Despite having and interest in and even owning firearms, Hank has a horrible aim when firing a gun, unlike Bobby who is a natural expert. (How to Fire a Rifle Without Really Trying)
** Both Hank and Bobby own .22 caliber rifles.
* Hank was born prematurely in the lady's room of the Yankee Stadium during his father's botched attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro. (Yankee Hankee).
* Mike Judge based the character of Hank Hill on a lot of the Texans he knew when he lived in the state. They have also inspired characters in just about all his work, like Tom Anderson from Beavis and Butthead, whom Hank strongly resembles.
* Despite his open love for America, Hank holds open prejudices towards people from California and New York. He seems to hold these low opinions towards other states to a lesser degree, often quick to establish Texas as the superior one.
* He is especially prudish about things like sex, female bodily functions, toilet humor, rock music and so on, to the point he is often physically unable to so much as discuss them.
* Hank bears a strong facial resemblance to his mother Tilly. He also strongly resembles his Japanese half-brother Junichiro, despite the fact they were born from different mothers.
* He considers butane a "bastard gas," and charcoal especially criminal.
* Hank is shown to be very passionate and talented in many hobbies, including fishing, golfing, guitar playing, landscaping, and grilling.
* Despite Peggy's pride at her atrocious Spanish abilities, Hank seems to have a natural facility for languages. He uses conversational Spanish correctly in Beer and Loathing and is able to understand Kahn's Laotian insults in Father of the Bribe. Hank is the only one of his friend group who is not fluent in a foreign language (Bill and Boomhauer both speak French and Dale speaks Russian) but has picked up useful amounts of the languages spoken by those around him.
* Tom Anderson was originally going to be Hank's father, but the idea was dropped due to Fox not having the rights to the character.
