Is Hattori Hanzo the Same guy From Kill Bill?

[InsiderLystic]

in Kill Bill, Hattori Hanzo is the guy played by Sunny Chiba that made the Best Swords in the world.

This Hattori Hanzo looks very diffrent but is there a connection?

 

[murderninja]

different guy, kill bill version just uses the same name but it's in reference to the real hanzo hattori

its not the same person if it was it would be stupid as for starters his name is Hanzo Hattori in sw Hattori Hanzo is someone else who's name is just backwards

I don't what the guy above me is going on about but no they are not the same person. Hattori Hanzo from the Samurai Warriors Series is based on the historical person who was a retainer for the Tokugawa clan in the Sengoku period in Japan.
The Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill is a fictional creation of Quentin Tarantino. He is apparently the most recent descendant of the real Hattori Hanzo.

what is this? i dont even...

no hes not the same person he would have to be a thousand years old..and as far as descendants go hes not a descendant either, all he did when making kill bill series is round up alot of cool looking and sounding things from japan and stuffed them all into one movie without thinking about it

 

[Spikey-Kun]

Okay he wouldn't have been "thousands" of years old. Hundreds yes. The movie never mentioned him being a decedent nor did it reference him as one. They simply used the name. Anyone could be named Hattori Hanzo. Its not a specially reserved name or anything. The director probably chose that name out of prefrence or just to rile people up. There's really no relation other than the name.
