Hattori is a minor character appears in Hayao Miyazaki's film The Wind Rises. He is the design chief of Mitsubishi Aircraft Company, a company where Jiro Horikoshi and Kiro Honjo work.

He is a middle-aged man with a distinctive, professional appearance that reflects his status as a senior engineer.

Physical Features

• Facial Structure: He has a wide, somewhat rectangular face with a prominent jawline and a small, pointed nose.

• Eyes & Expression: His eyes are often drawn as small, dark circles behind thin-rimmed glasses, giving him a focused and sometimes stern demeanor.

• Hair: He has gray, short hair that is neatly parted to the side.

• Wavy, Mature Styling: He has longer, thicker hair on top that is styled into soft, natural waves and parted to the side.

• Tapered Back: Unlike Kurokawa's shaved sides, Hattori’s hair has a clean, classic taper at the nape of his neck, typical of a professional businessman or senior engineer from that era.

• Attire: True to the 1920s and 30s setting, he is almost always seen in formal business attire, typically a brown or grey three-piece suit with a crisp white shirt and a dark red or burgundy necktie. Often wearing a fedora when outdoors, reflecting the Westernized business culture of pre-WWII Japan.

• Physical Build: In the film, Hattori is drawn with a broader, more robust and stocky build compared to the lean, slender Jiro or the diminutive Kurokawa. He carries himself with the solid presence of a well-off, middle-aged supervisor.

• Historical Data: In 1930s Japan, the average weight for an adult male was roughly 55 kg to 60 kg (121 lbs to 132 lbs) due to the diet and average heights of the era.

• The Estimate: Since Hattori is depicted as a bit heavier and broader than the average man of his time, a realistic estimate for his character design would be around 63 kg to 68 kg (140 lbs to 150 lbs).

He appears for the first time on Jiro's first day in the company. He and Mr. Kurokawa watch over Jiro's draft. Later on in the story he appears again in a cab beside Mr. Kurokawa and Jiro, because the Japanese secret police is looking for Jiro. Then Jiro notes he wants to go home to read the letter of his fiancé Naoko Satomi. Hattori and Mr. Kurokawa break out in laugh.

Hattori is seen again beside Mr. Kurokawa to listen to Jiro's presentation to make their plane lighter by using countersunk rivet. Katayama explains how the new technology is used.
