Hanzo Shimada debuted as a playable hero in Blizzard's Overwatch in 2016, a Japanese archer known for his bow, dragon-themed ultimate and disciplined style. As streaming grew on Twitch, creators began making short custom cues for events like follows, subscriptions and donations, often themed to the game they played. A Hanzo follow alert fits that tradition, giving Overwatch streamers a sound that matches their main character and community. The short format keeps it reusable across long broadcasts without annoying regular viewers who hear it many times.
