He only appears in the special chapter, Funbari no Uta. He works with Ryu to search for someone. Hana is once shown holding the Futsunomitama (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 Yoh and Anna return. At first 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

. Hana's name comes from the conjunction of the characters in Yoh (葉, also pronounced as Ha) 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

He is the main character in the new series Shaman King: Flowers, where he is a teen who uses his father Yoh's spirit Amidamaru. He meets the current Shaman King Hao who tells him something interesting will happen for him and disappears. Almost immediately a young girl resembling Anna appears saying she is her disciple and daughter of Silva and will marry Hana if he can beat her in a fight,

Birth

Hana Asakura was probably conceived shortly before or shortly after the Shaman Fight. This means that Yoh and Anna were about 15 when Hana was conceived. This is accurate since Yoh and Anna slept together before Yoh left for the Shaman Fight. His true birthdate is unknown.

Physical Appearance

Hana seems to have blond and unruly hair and he has the same eye color as his mother Anna. 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 orange jumper shorts and he carries the Futsu-no-Mitama no Tsurugi. Hana has also been wearing the same cloak of his uncle Asakura Hao.

When Hana gets older he starts school and begins wearing the school uniform all day in a manner similar to his father Yoh's uniform, only with a black shirt beneath the open shirt instead of a bare upper body.
