yep. my point was that the name had been used before.
I guess I should've said "a Hanzo" to cut down on confusion?

Right you are: He played the invincible Iga ninja leader Hattori Hanzo, in four Shadow Warriors (Kage No Gundan) series....
Interestingly, when Chiba played Yagyu Jubei in The Yagyu Conspiracy, he faced an Iga ninja leader named Hattori Hanzo. And killed him. :)

Yeah but that was the historical ninja Hanzo Hattori, not a generic mild-mannered modern-day sword maker.

Actor Kashiwabara Takashi (27) and former TV personality Hatano Hiroko (photo, 28) are said to be on the verge of getting hitched. Their parents were recently seen dining together, a common sign that nuptials are being planned. The couple met while appearing together in the TBS drama "Koi no Kamisama" four years ago. Hatano retired from showbusiness a year and a half ago, the first sign of an impending marriage. They are currently living together in Tokyo. • Actress Sugita Kaoru (39) is to release a cover of her own 1981 hit "Tori no Uta", her first new single in 23 years. Sugita has been a variety show regular over the last couple of years, her "selling point" being her image as a straight-talking woman who's fond of a drink, and destined never to find true love. She started her acting career at the tender age of 8 and had her breakthrough at 15 on the hugely popular TV series "3-nen B-kumi Kimpachi Sensei".

Details are currently sketchy but "Ping Pong" and "GTO" actor Kubozuka Yousuke (25) jumped off the terrace of his apartment (9th floor) on the afternoon of June 6th. Breaking his fall was a metal fence below. When emergency services got to him, he was conscious and Kubozuka said that his whole body was in pain. According to a resident of the apartment complex, around 12:10 p.m. the resident of the apartment complex heard a sound and when he checked, he saw a body laying on the ground. Blood was flowing from his head and a woman was by his side. Kubuzoka kept moaning that he was in pain. Kubuzoka was taken to a hospital in Yokosuka for treatment and then will be transferred to Yokohama. Right now there are current rumors and speculation of why Kubozuka may have jumped. More details coming soon...
