Appearance

Han is a tiny child topped with a small knotted tuft of dark hair over a round head. His features are equally compact: little eyes, a small rounded nose, and a gap where a front tooth should be. Snot tends to run from his nose, completing the scruffy look.

Personality

Because a leftover, faulty SMILE robbed him of every other expression, the boy can do nothing but grin and laugh whatever the moment. Outside of that affliction he comes across as cheerful and sociable, happily pestering the kindly Tonoyasu for attention and play.

History

During Tonoyasu's rounds through Ebisu Town, the old man stopped to ask Han how his mother was faring, and the boy answered by begging him to play. Tonoyasu obliged, tickling Han on the ground before scooping him up and carrying him along on his back.
