Hana-chan is a minor fictional character associated with the Super Mario Brothers franchise, often appearing as a cute, childlike flower-themed character in Mario-related media and adaptations. The role of Hana-chan varies by appearance, but she is generally portrayed as a friendly, cheerful supporting character rather than a major plot driver. Because the name is stylized as a nickname or honorific-style form, it is not clearly split into a conventional first and last name.
