10 Regular Characters In Ninja Hattori Kun

Ninja Hattori-kun is an anime whose plot is similar with Doraemon. While Doraemon uses his technological gadget in every episode, Ninja Hattori uses his ninja skills instead. This anime is intended for kids due to its light plot but adult can also enjoy it. Here are the list of characters who appear in anime: 

1. Kanzo Hattori 

Hattori is a 11-year old little ninja. He is the boy who usually contests Kemumaki when he performs mischief. Hattori's main weakness is that he is afraid of frogs and lizards. This often leads him into trouble and becomes helpless. He also wears blue colored ninja robes and always explains what a good ninja does and what others should also do. His powers can be compared to a master ninja. He also has a strange habit of saying degozaru or nin nin after almost every sentence. His girlfriend seems to be Tsubame.

2. Shinzo Hattori 

Shinzo is Kanzo's younger brother. A good point to note is that while Kanzo is referred to as "Hattori", Shinzo is usually called by his first name. He uses weapons made from wood and is a ninja-in-training who learns to be a good ninja, like Kanzo. He wears red colored ninja robes. Shinzo seems to have a good heart and sticks to being loyal to his brother and sometimes gets excited when others are excited. Some of the times, Shinzo tricks Hattori to giving him things. He is also known to cry very loudly, which makes people faint. He is also very powerful for his age. He helps Kanzo fight Kemumaki, with his real weapons and control his loud crying which immobilizes opponents from attacking and bites the head of the opponents. 

3. Shishimaru 

Shishimaru is a ninja dog living with Kenichi, who came along with Kanzo Hattori and Shinzo Hattori. He is a casual behaving dog who at times becomes lazy and stubborn. Along with Shinzo, the two of them wind up doing mischief and creating trouble. He has an attack of turning in a fireball when provoked. He also has the ability to change form into any other animal. His fur color is yellow and his ninja mark on his forehead is very important for him as it is an identification of him as a ninja. He loves to eat all kinds of delicious treats, especially a fish sausage or chocolate roll. 

4. Kenichi Mitsuba 

Kenichi is a 10-year-old boy who goes to middle school and is poor in his studies. He likes Yumako, however Kemumaki is also after her. He always tricks Hattori to help him in any situation. He also does not follow his mother's instructions properly and often gets scolding from his mother. Though he doesn't study well, he has a good habit of helping others. He is always the victim of Kemumaki's mischievous plans. Ever since Kanzo befriended Kenichi, he keeps on addressing him as "Lord Kenichi". 

5. Kemuzo Kemumaki 

Kemumaki, along with his cat Kagechiyo, always are the ones who cause trouble. He has competition with Hattori and Shinzo. He is 11 years old and is shorter than Ken'ichi but a lot fitter and stronger than him. He competes with Kenichi for Yumeko-chan. However when he uses one of his ninja techniques in order to win, Hattori usually steps in to save the day. He wears green colored ninja robes. Only Kagechiyo, Kenichi and the Kanzo family know about his dual life that he is a ninja like Hattori while he joined Kenichi's school as a normal boy. 

6. Kagechiyo 

Kagechiyo is a talking animal-ninja of the Koga-Ryu. Usually Kemumaki gives a big task in his plans for Kagechiyo to carry out, but he fails it. This is because he doesn't get enough training from Kemumaki and is always seen sleeping on the streets. He normally hides in the Mitsuba house to hear Kenichi and his friends' plans and afterwards informs Kemumaki about them, acting more like a communication device. Sometimes he hates Kemumaki for his strictness and imagines living a life of luxury as a normal cat. Kagechiyo also obtains an attack of static electricity on rubbing a shining metal plate against his back. If he uses this attack too much then he feels weak. 

7. Yumeko Kawai 

Yumeko is the girl who usually causes disputes between Kemumaki and Kenichi. She attends the same middle school as the two and she is also the one who causes most of the problems. She seems to be in touch with Hattori sometimes and sees Hattori as a big brother and Shinzo as a little brother. Apparently, she is seen to like Kenichi but sometimes it is assumed that her relationship with Hattori as a romantic one. She is also known to play piano fairly well. 

8. Koike-Sir 

He is Kenichi's teacher, also appears as a ramen chef in and sometimes appears as a cameo in Doraemon where he eats ramen. He always scolds Kenichi similar to when Nobita is scolded by his teacher in Doraemon. 

9. Kentaru Mitsuba 

He is Kenichi's father. He usually smokes and comes from his office late in the evening. He likes eating and golf a lot. Though a rather stout man, his size seems to change, going from chubbier to slimmer. 

10. Mrs. Mitsuba 

She is the mother of Kenichi. She likes Tsubame and thinks that Kemumaki is a good boy. She also appears in Doraemon, in one of Doraemon's dreams.
