Hattori Hanzo
Background
Hattori Hanzo owns a sushi shop in Okinawa, Japan. Bill is a former student of his. He quit making swords 28 years ago.
During the events of Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) played by Shin'ichi Chiba
The Bride goes to the sushi shop owned by Hanzo. He yells out to Bald Guy (Sushi Shop) to bring some tea out, but Bald Guy complains he is watching his soap operas. Hanzo compliments The Bride on how well she says Japanese words. He once again yells at Bald Guy to bring some tea and Bald Guy complains that he always has to get the drinks while Hanzo cuts the fish. Hanzo asks The Bride what she is doing in Okinawa and she tells him she is there to see Hattori Hanzo and to get Japanese steel to settle a score. They go upstairs and Hanzo shows her his collection of swords he has made and kept. He tells her he no longer makes swords and she tells him, she is seeking revenge against Bill. Hanzo agrees to make the sword and suggests she practice for the month it takes to make it. One month later, Hanzo and Bald Guy ceremoniously present the sword to The Bride.
