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?

What is the relationship between Hattori and Yuujirou?


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.

[Akira Hattori wiki page](http://bakuman.wikia.com/wiki/Akira_Hattori)

[Yuujirou Hattori wiki page](http://bakuman.wikia.com/wiki/Yujiro_Hattori)

also

[Akira Hattori MAL page](http://myanimelist.net/character/18914/Akira_Hattori)

[Yuujirou Hattori MAL
page](http://myanimelist.net/character/23485/Yuujirou_Hattori)

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.
>
> <http://bakuman.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Yujiro_Hattori>

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.
