Why are you so adamant in believing that RT (a gaming company) made a character similar in appearance to a widely popular game and were done with it? Why do you believe that they went through the trouble to make research and a backstory for a character that was on-screen for just a few minutes?

V4 Commentary, see point 17: "''Okay he's a hunter, he fights with a, a bow and arrow, uh, he's uh a y'know Eastern inspired." They told Erin to make him look like Hanzo from Overwatch''.

And how much do you know about Hattori Hanzo anyway? I am curious what convinced you. Because I would like to read up on him or at least look up a real life picture of him that looks like Li, but all I get are (completely innacurate) interpretations. Seriously. Right now the "learn about Hattori Hanzo" plan turned into a "find anything even remotely similar to Li" plan.

Hey, apparently he was expert tactician and a master of spear fighting... and Li was a hunter with a bow. (Just like Overwatch Hanzo)

If you think RT made a character based on Hattori Hanzo, you are overestimating them. If you think they would use a Hattori Hanzo character for a quick side character, that would be a waste.
