The character's backstory establishes him as Hanzo Hasashi ( Japanese: 波佐志半蔵), a warrior from the fictional Shirai Ryu clan who was killed by the elder Sub-Zero (Bi-Han) of the rival Lin Kuei clan. His primary weapon is a kunai- rope dart, which he uses to harpoon opponents, while his trademark fatality is named 'Toasty!' (in which he removes his mask to reveal a skull right before immolating his opponent with fire).

In addition, the Aizu Kage Ryu Densho (dated to the Late Muromachi Period - Azuchi-Momoyama Period) housed in the Tokyo National Museum clearly shows techniques with two full length katana in addition to techniques with two wakizashi/kodachi.
