Sometime before the events of the series, Aoshi became Kanryu's personal bodyguard and his Oniwaban subordinates in turn became his servants. Having learned kempo from Aoshi, he in turn taught it to Misao and left with his master and his three other subordinates for Tokyo in search of battles (leaving Misao with Okina). Aoshi took him in as his own pupil and raised him to be an elite ninja and spy, and for his duties Han'nya disfigured his face. He managed to evade this fate, but still was abandoned by his own parents and was left in the slums to rot. Han'nya was born in an extremely poor village where there was scarcely any food, and so it was common for villagers to kill their own children to avoid starvation. It is suggested in the manga that Han'nya may have taken some of the same muscle enhancer as Shikijō, as Shikijō claimed that if Sano took it, he could become as strong as Han'nya or himself. Han'nya is second only to Aoshi, when it comes to power and skill level among the Tokyo Oniwabanshū. The unusual stripes on his arm are used for deception when he attacks - it makes his arms look longer than they really are when he strikes. He fights with the claws in his gloves, which are usually kept hidden until he strikes. He is able to provide Kenshin with a tough challenge, having learned all his skills from Aoshi. Han'nya is described as adept at ninjutsu. He also seemed to have a strong bond with Misao, as he appeared to her in a daydream, saying Aoshi would return to them. In combat, Han'nya is very honorable to his enemies, commending Himura Kenshin for his skill, when the latter defeated him. He is very loyal to Aoshi as seen when giving his life to protect him. Han'nya is described by Watsuki as "not really being a villain".
#Kokono vs kenshin meada skin
He wears a sleeveless blue shinobi outfit with a skin tight black hooded shirt underneath and gloves which conceal long metal claws, as well as his namesake mask, colored white with a red tongue and yellow teeth and horns. His arms are either painted or tattooed with horizontal red and black stripes so as to give the illusion that they are shorter than they are when he is fighting. Underneath the mask, he looks similar to the way he does in the Manga. Anyways, he's a killer on a scale that hasn't really been shown in Inuyasha - a trained killer who keeps his cool and doesn't bother with smack talk, he'll just find you and kill you, no need to fight you.In the anime, however, no reason is specifically given for his facial deformity, although when his mask does break, he states that he was involved in many hell-like battles all for the sake of the Oniwabanshū, suggesting that this may have been the underlying reason. Also Kenshin as seen from his OVAs is quite willing to cut a man in half from shoulder/neck to crotch in a single swipe (with his off hand no less), or cut through their spine and mid-back, or shove the blade up through the jaw and twist, or. However considering that Kenshin can perform close to a working teleport with his speed, I wonder if Yasha could even track his movements? That and while Inu-yasha loves to spout off one-liners and threats of dismemberment, instead of fighting - kenshin won't make a bit of noise (see OVA1 for him being sneaky) and just take off Yasha's head from behind while that idiot is off throwing yet another hissy fit. Kenshin would be a rather well spread out bloodstain. If Inu-yasha hit, yes, it'd be an insta-kill. And he has all the techniques by this point. Umm, why do ppl always assume that when someone says Kenshin, they're automatically referring to his post-assassin self? Or forgetting OVA2 (and the manga after Seishio is killed) where Kenshin DOES revert fully to Battousai mode after what looks like Kaoru is butchered and left hanging (whats left that is.don't worry its a fake) on the side of the dojo.
