Hattori, Akira
Summary
Akira Hattori is a seasoned editor at Weekly Shounen Jump, serving as the mentor for Akito Takagi and Moritaka Mashiro. Physically, he is a slender man with an eccentric appearance, characterized by wide eyes and distinctive lips that bear a striking resemblance to Ryuk from Takeshi Obata’s manga Death Note. By his debut, Hattori is twenty-eight years old, and by the conclusion of the series, he has reached thirty-eight. Born on April 27, 1980, he is known for his calm demeanor and calculated approach to editing, rarely raising his voice unless absolutely necessary. As a wise and experienced professional, he remains deeply invested in the growth of Takagi and Mashiro as mangakas, occasionally offering unsolicited advice to Miura as well. Interestingly, Hattori is also depicted as the editor for One Piece during the timeline of the story.
