Asakura Hana

Asakura Hana(麻倉花) is the protagonist of Hiroyuki Takei's manga, Funbari no Uta, which is set in the year 2007.

Appearance
Hana seems to have blond and unruly hair. In the manga, his height may be the same as Manta's height in the Shaman King series since Ryu towers over him and Hana barely reaches above Ryu's knee. He wears black jumper shorts (somewhat an evolution from Yoh's black outfit with shorts) and he carries the Futsu-no-Mitama no Tsurugi. There's also an image in which he has the same dress of his uncle Asakura Hao

When Hanna gets older he starts school and begins wearing the school uniform all day in a manner similar to Yoh, only with a black shirt beneath the open shirt.

Personality
He is a lot like his father Yoh but more energetic although this could be because he was working for his "mother". He also fears his "mother" the same way Yoh fears Anna. He can be a little mean. He has a bad temper like his mother.

Futsu-no-Mitama no Tsurugi
The, Futsu-no-Mitama no Tsurugi (Antiquity in the English Anime) is a red knife shaped rock that has been owned by the Asakura Family ever since the time of Asakura Hao. According to Hao it was once owned by a sword god and even though it's only made of rock, it is the perfect medium to create a sword oversoul. That sword which slumbers in a storage room of the Asakura Family, always creates a stir in the world when surfaced since it's a national treasure.

Past
He is the six year old son of Asakura Yoh and Asakura Anna who is now traveling with "Wooden Sword" Ryu, but is currently in the custody of Tamamura Tamao whom he believes is his real mother.

Funbari no Uta
He only appears in the special chapter, Funbari no Uta. He works with Ryu to search for The Five Elemental Warriors. Hana is once shown holding the Futsu-no-Mitama no Tsurugi(also known as the Antiquity in the English Anime), which may mean he can use a Giant Over Soul like Yoh's. Tamao is introduced as his 'mother', but it is revealed that she is only acting as his guardian until his parents return. Hana is apparently unaware that Tamao is not actually his mother; Tamao has chosen not to tell him who his true parents are until they return and she debuts as an enka singer.

Trivia

 * The name "Hana" means flower. Hana's name comes from the conjunction of the characters in Yoh (葉, also pronounced as Ha)or Hao and Anna's (ナ, Na) names.
 * One piece of evidence that points to Hana being their son is that, in volume 9 of the manga, Yoh and Anna "slept together" the night before leaving for America for the second round of the Shaman Fight. Also, Yohken asks him whether he has any children, where Yoh replies "No...well, how can I say that?", but is informed otherwise by Amidamaru..
