I wish to train with Sir Robin the Brave and his minstrels:

The Ballad of Brave Sir Robin
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken;
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away;
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!

His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen--

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

[gsx1100s]

is hattori hanzo even a real person?Here is a link:

http://www.samurai-archives.com/hanzo.html

This is also what I've found :

Hattori Hanzo:

Born in 1541, in Iga, Hanzo was the leader of the warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu’s own personal army of Ninja. Best remembered for his famous night raid on Udo Castle. Hanzo died in 1596. His ninja about 300 in all, also served as guards in Tokugawa’s castle in Edo. Hanzo no Mon, or the Hanzo Gate, which bears his name still stands today at Edo castle.
