<P> Many films, specials and series on the life and times of Tokugawa Ieyasu depict the events mentioned above . The actor Sonny Chiba played his role in the series Hattori Hanzô: Kage no Gundan (Shadow Warriors), where he and his descendants are the main characters . His life and his service to Tokugawa Ieyasu is fictionalised in the manga series Path of the Assassin and the young Hanzō is the main character in the manga Tenka Musō . The novel The Kouga Ninja Scrolls and its adaptations (the manga and anime series Basilisk and the live - action film Shinobi: Heart Under Blade) feature the four Hattori Hanzos serving as ninja leaders under the rule of Tokugawa Ieyasu . Hanzō also appears in the novel Fukurō no Shiro (Owl's Castle), later made into two feature films (including Owls' Castle), in the manga and anime series Gin Tama (a parody character named Hattori Zenzo), in the manga Naruto the character named Hanzō was the leader of Amegakure, a hidden ninja village, Samurai Deeper Kyo and Tail of the Moon, and in the live - action film Goemon, and was featured in an episode "Spartan vs. Ninja" of the TV show Deadliest Warrior . In the case of Samurai Deeper Kyo, an unusual plot turn reveals that Hattori Hanzō is actually the real Ieyasu Tokugawa in disguise, and the one history is familiar with was his fake figurehead . </P> <P> Hattori Hanzō appears as a recurring character in the Samurai Shodown video game series, appearing in every game in the series, in the anime film and in some guest appearances in the KOF series . In World Heroes, another SNK video game series, Hanzō is one of the main characters along with his rival Fūma Kotarō . In video game series Samurai Warriors, he is portrayed as a highly skilled ninja, highly loyal to Tokugawa Ieyasu and attributed to the death of many of Ieyasu's rivals and having an extremely fierce rivalry with Fūma Kotarō . Hanzō is also featured in several other video games such as Taikou Risshiden V (as one of the main characters), Kessen III, Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword (being one of the Great Spies), Shall We Date?: Ninja Love, Pokémon Conquest, Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes and the Suikoden series; in the limited edition of Total War: Shogun 2 he is the heir of the Hattori Clan, one of the factions fighting for supremacy over Japan, and has a DLC unit called "Hanzo's Shadows". In The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, the quest "Of Swords and Dumplings" featuring an elf named Hattori is a reference to Kill Bill's Hattori Hanzo character from the movie; A retired swordsmith who manages a small eatery returns to swordmaking for the game's protagonist, Geralt . </P> <P> The light novel and anime series Hyakka Ryōran, the anime series Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox, and the video game Yatagarasu all reimagine Hattori Hanzō as a female ninja character . There are also many characters named after him, such as Kanzo Hattori, the main character in the franchise Ninja Hattori - kun . In the light novel "A Certain Magical Index", a character named Hanzo Hattori is apparently someone from a ninja clan . Sonny Chiba again played a character named Hattori Hanzō in the film Kill Bill, a master swordsmith who is called upon to create a special katana sword for the film's protagonist . In the Thundercats episode "The Duelist and the Drifter", the Sword of Hittanzo is a tribute to Hanzō . Hanzō clan's descendants in various fiction include Hanpei "Hanpen" Hattori in the TV series Android Kikaider, Saizo Hattori and Takumi Hattori in the video game series Power Instinct, Naoko Hattori in the video game Sokko Seitokai: Sonic Council, the villains in the film The Machine Girl, and Okatsu in the video games Kessen and Kessen III . The anime Dinosaur King included a story arc in its second season set in ancient Japan that featured a slightly fictionalized portrayal of Hanzō and Shogun Tokugawa . In the TCG (Trading Card Game) Force of Will, many historical figures are re-imagined as female in an anime style, and he is depicted as a girl with the text "The idea of serving you gives me the highest pleasure (t - that sounded kind of perverted)." Hattori Hanzo is also the name of one of the characters in Mahouka koukou no Rettousei . In the Korean webtoon series God of High School, the Borrowed Power of the character Judge C is Hattori Hanzo . </P> <P> The 2016 stop - motion animated film Kubo and the Two Strings has the eponymous character's father's name being given simply as "Hanzo". In this film, Hanzo is a mythical samurai who fought against supernatural forces dedicated to stealing Kubo away from the material world and taking him to the heavens . </P>
