Clean model sheet / base lineart.
Memory fragment: Hanzo with young Michio.
Visual traits
Flashback look: muscular, cocky smile, black hair in a large round samurai bun; carries signature fan (Mugen no Tessen).
Personality
Confident and daring-balances shadow operations with charismatic leadership; disappearance leaves a legacy Michio seeks to honor and understand.
Role & Narrative Behavior
His absence drives the search; his fan ties to time anomalies; symbolizes unfinished resistance and a family legacy across timelines.
Temporal displacement (Earth 1992)
- Anchor: Displaced to Earth, 1992—a non-catastrophic loss-of-agency era aligned with Technogarch failure modes.
- Why it fits: Investigator/watcher, skeptical of authority; arrives in “quiet inevitability” where systems outpace human choice.
- Artifact: Jeans from Earth ’92—mass-produced, durable, anonymous; reinforce his anti-mythic, hard-to-anchor presence.
Things to keep in mind
- Married to Hitomi; father of Michio; student of Nagamizu.
- Mugen no Tessen is key-time-inversion artifact; handle with narrative weight.
- Search for him is a primary driver; avoid resolving lightly.
Open questions / conflicts
Unknown: current whereabouts, how he vanished after finding Mugen no Tessen, and whether he is ensnared in time fractures.
