Also known as Masashige. The son of a certain Hattori Yasunaga, Hanzo, who would earn the nickname 'Devil Hanzo', served Tokugawa Ieyasu loyally and usefully. His nickname - Devil Hanzo - was not only to pay homage to his skills but also to distinguish him from another Tokugawa 'ninja', Watanabe Hanzo. Hattori, who fought his first battle at the age of 16, went on to serve at Anegawa (1570) and Mikatagahara (1572), but his most valuable contribution came in 1582, following Oda Nobunaga's death. At that time Tokugawa and his retainers had been staying near Ôsaka and learned of the assassination only just in time to avoid being detained by Akechi Mitsuhide's troops. But they were by no means out of the woods. Mikawa was still a long way away, and Akechi men would be combing the roads for them. At this point, Hanzo suggested that they take a route through Iga province, as he had ties with the samurai there. In addition, Ieyasu had sheltered survivors from Nobunaga's bloody invasion of that province in 1580 and those who knew of this would certainly be well disposed to offer assistance. Honda Tadakatsu sent Hanzo on ahead, and, as hoped, the Iga men agreed not only to guide them along back roads, but also to provide them with an escort. At length, Tokugawa and his band returned to Mikawa safely. The same could not be said for Anayama Beisetsu, a recent Tokugawa addition who had insisted on taking a different route.

Get the hayloft mug.A Haydon Is a pretty cool dude. He’s really smart and Is good at making friends. He comes off as a bit annoying sometimes but once you get to know him he’s really sweet. Watch out though, if you talk bad about him just be ready because he’ll do the same back. A Haydon is usually a good kid but gets in trouble every now and then. Haydons are very hands on. They can do almost anything you ask. He usually spends most of his free time watching YouTube videos but somehow still has time to do his homework. Haydons are usually very generous, if you need a snack or advice just ask. Usually Haydon is sassy, but he’s really good at it. He’s always trying to get on teachers good side and become a teachers pet. They usually come off as very attractive people. Usually being tall, dark haired, and blue/green eyed. Once you come across a Haydon you should never leave one.
