forgive my ignorance, but what is Hany exactly? Is the likeness of Hany based on something, or is he/she/it just an abstract mascot type character? heh... I have my theories, but they might be a little inappropriate... :-"

Hany is a very old (3~6th century) japanese clay figure really called haniwa.
The name means nothing else than clay ring,
thats what they're made of.
You can google the term and see it in real person or get more informations about :)

awesome info man, thanks! I had a feeling that Hany might have some sort of historical background. It makes me wonder how many historical references sneak into these games that go unnoticed.
