Hanzo is a police officer, who normally carries a short 2-pronged dagger (jutte or sai) which was common for Edo Police. this jutte has a hidden, weighted chain within it, which Hanzo uses to block against sword attacks or ensnare fleeing criminals. In combination with the jutte, he sometimes uses a brass knucle type device, a iron spiked fist weapon. He also uses the classic samurai sword at times.

Hanzo utilizes torture on himself and on others as a means of interrogation and self-purification.

Hanzo ritualistically flagellates his huge penis so as to make it stronger; this exercise is always followed up by Hanzo's practicing sexual intercourse with a bale of rice.

Hanzo's home is filled with exotic traps and weapons to defeat assassins like ninja, such as a hidden rotating wall of weapons near his Japanese bath and spears that spring from the ceiling of his hallways.  He uses the hidden weapons to fight a group of black clad ninja.
