Japanese Voice Actor: Okiayu, Ryoutarou
Weapon of Choice: Kagitsume (steel claws)
The second strongest member of the Oniwaban Group after Aoshi himself is Han'nya. Han'nya always wears a demonic mask of his face, which is horribly disfigured. (As a spy Han'nya wanted to be able to disguise himself with any face, therefore he burned off his lips, chopped his ears and nose off, and crushed his cheekbones. Whoa!). Agile, fast, stealthy, and strong, Han'nya has all the best traits of the other members combined and then some.
Han'nya fights using the Kempo style, which was taught to him by Aoshi. Underneath his gloves, Han'nya wears metal gauntlets. The gloves also hide the deadly steel claws which can burst forth whenever Han'nya has need of them.
The clever warrior has one last trick up his sleeve (literally). It is called the Shin-wan Spell. It utilizes the horizontal stripes on Han'nya's sleeves to give his enemies the impression that his are broader and therefore shorter than they really are. This gives Han'nya an edge in battle as his opponents misjudge his reach, allowing his blows to connect when they attempt to dodge his attacks with a narrow margin. The Shin-wan Spell can be broken by the opponent if said opponent provides some sort of reference with which to measure the actual length of Han'nya's arms.
Of all the members of the Oniwaban Group, Han'nya is the most dedicated to Aoshi and, unless out on a mission, is seldom far from his leader's side.
