What is the relationship between Hattori and Yuujirou?


In Season 1 Episode 22, during the KOOGY complaint scene, their full name was
mentioned. Hattori Yuujirou and Hattori Akira. Are they siblings or mere
coincidence that they share a surname?




It is not stated in neither Yuujirou's or Akira's Bakuman Wiki pages nor MAL
pages that they are siblings, the conclusion being that **they are not**. It
may be a pure coincidence. I am not very informed regarding this anime though.

As you can see their biographies do not say anything about them being blood-
related in any way.

Also in **Akira Hattori's** wikipage it says:

> **Personal Status:**
>
> **Marital Status Single**
>
> **Relatives Unknown**
>
> **Education Unknown**

If one of his relatives would have been mentioned (including Yuujiro) they
would have been written in the wiki. Thus we conclude that they are not blood-
related.

Moreover this quote:

> The editors in Bakuman are based off of real editors, so the names used just
> relate to the editors real names. The two aren't related.

shows that they are based on real editors and is a common thing in real life
for 2 individuals to have the same family name and to not be blood-related.
