Zenzo HATTORI

Zenzo Hattori is a skilled ninja and assassin who works for the Yagyu Clan. He is known for his blinding bangs and facial hair, which make him difficult to recognize. He is also a skilled swordsman and has a strong sense of justice. One day, Zenzo is tasked with assassinating a high-ranking government official. He infiltrates the official's mansion and makes his way to the official's bedroom. However, the official is expecting him and has set up a trap. Zenzo is caught in the trap and is about to be killed when he is saved by Gintoki Sakata, a samurai who is also a member of the Yagyu Clan. Gintoki and Zenzo team up to defeat the official and his men. After the battle, Gintoki asks Zenzo why he became an assassin. Zenzo tells him that he was once a kind and gentle man, but he was forced to become an assassin after his family was killed by a group of bandits. Gintoki is sympathetic to Zenzo's story and offers to help him find a new path in life. Zenzo agrees to join Gintoki and his friends, and he eventually becomes a valuable member of their team.
