―Hanzo to Koko^[src]

Hanzo is a white and blue bullet train who is the leader and mentor of Speed Fleet.

Biography[]

Hanzo is the fastest chugger from Japan. Mentor to Koko, Hanzo is sleek, streamlined, and has a photographic memory. He believes there is no greater honour than transporting passengers quickly, but always safely, to their destination. Respectful, dedicated, and precise, Hanzo encourages fellow Speed Fleet chuggers to be the best they can be through rigorous practice. As well as always extremely punctual.

Technical Details[]

Basis[]

Hanzo is most likely based on the Japanese Shinkansen E7/W7 Series, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and West Japan Railway Company (JR West) on the Hokuriku Shinkansen and Joetsu Shinkansen lines in Japan. They ran Tokyo between Nagano, until Hokuriku Shinkansen until Kanazawa in 2014.

Hanzo is painted white with blue linings and blue and black linings on the top. His battery boxes and bogies are gold.
