During early concept stages of the game, Hanzo and Genji were once originally the same exact character, a cyborg ninja named Hanzo that wielded both a sword and bow. As time went on, Hanzo was split into two characters, with Hanzo using the bow and arrows, and Genji who was given the cyborg ninja motif and sword.
