Well, there is no real reason why he can't also just be a character inspired by Hattori Hanzo. Most renditions of Hattori Hanzo I see look like Hanzo from Overwatch. Yeah sure but... We're talking about RT... >.> I think it's much more likely that they were refering the the character from the widely popular game....since they are a gaming company... Than the historical figure... since his appearance varies through media, while the Overwatch one has just the one design...that looks like Li.

Also RT has shown that they use adaptations more than the original/historical versions.
