Hanzo's inspiration (Overwatch) - DrakeVagabond - 11-11-2017
Hanzo's character is likely inspired by the historical figure Hattori Hanzo, a famous ninja who served the Shogun during Japans Warring Period.
Designwise, he appears to be modeled after common fictional depictions of Oda Nobunaga, a vicious warlord during the same time.
