Hattori is a ninja from the Iga Clan who arrives at Tokyo to help people in trouble. Upon his arrival, he stumbles on the house of a 10-year-old boy named Kenichi Mitsuba who was then watching a television broadcast about ninjas. He mistakes Hattori for a burglar, however, Hattori then tells him that he is a ninja from the Iga Clan and that he has come here for training. Suddenly Kenichi's mother comes in and Hattori goes up and hides. Kenichi tells the whole story about Hattori. Mrs. Mitsuba tells her son that it's only a vision from a broadcast. Kenichi is not yet convinced. Suddenly Hattori appears and this time Mrs. Mitsuba appears and sees Hattori for herself. Stunned, Mrs. Mitsuba asks where Hattori is from to which he replies he is from the Iga Clan. Though still shaken, Mrs. Mitsuba allows him to stay with them.

In the newer anime, Hattori continues to live with the Mitsuba family and meets new friends while battling Kemumaki as always.

Family[]

Parents[]

Hattori keeps a close relationship with his parents despite living far away from them; they exchange letters and gifts occasionally.

Shinzo Hattori[]

Hattori is Shinzo's older brother. Shinzo looks up to him and respects him, but sometimes they have a tendency to argue. Nevertheless, Hattori looks out for Shinzo and is almost always there for his help, even when he has to bend the rules.

Shishimaru[]

Shishimaru is Hattori's mascot. He and Shishimaru mostly get on well, but Hattori can get irked by Shishimaru's lazy and gluttonous behaviour.

Foster family[]

Kenichi and his parents[]

Hattori gets on well with his foster family, the Mitsubas. Kenichi is his best friend, so he seeks advice from Hattori constantly, and Hattori seldom refuses to help him. However, Kenichi ignores Hattori when he urges Kenichi to be more confident and studious.

Hattori is very close to Mr. and Mrs. Mitsuba. He is very grateful to them for what they have done, even bursting into tears after Mrs. Mitsuba makes them clothes. However, that doesn't stop them from being strict to him.

Friends[]

Yumeko Kawai[]

Yumeko often seeks advice from Hattori, who does the needful. In a few episodes, Yumeko says that she feels closer to Hattori than she is to Kenichi, even though she doesn't mean it.

Tsubame (Sonam) and the other ninjas[]

Tsubame (Sonam) is smitten with Hattori, and he too has a crush on her, although he doesn't want anyone to know. However, they do tend to disagree.

In a few episodes, Hattori has three friends who drop by in everyone's hours of need. They include a short ninja with brown robes and a Zorro-like mask, a tall, thin one with purple robes, and a plump one with orange robes.

Rivals[]

Kemumaki (Amara) and Kagechiyo[]

Hattori and Kemumaki are sworn enemies and constantly argue. Once, during a fierce duel, Hattori mercilessly tells Kemumaki, "Next time I'll see you in the hospital!" before attacking him. However, they do help each other sometimes.

Hattori has a visible rivalry with Kagechiyo, though the cat is more faithful to Hattori than to Kemumaki at times.
