History of the Hanma Clan from Baki anime; The clan of beasts
Baki Hanma
anime was the first of its kind to bring some of the best bodybuilders and fighters with no limits. And one of the strongest clans in the show is the Hanma dynasty. From Baki to Yujiro, everyone has their own identity and powers.
What started with a Son's revenge against his dad became a saga of a boy growing into a mature man with a powerful aura. And the latest in the picture was the collaboration of Baki Hanma with Kengan Ashura. Coming back to the Hanma clan, let's have a look at the history of the same along with their abilities and signature identities.
Hanma clan in Baki Hanma: History, power, and more
The Hanma clan comes from the Ryuku Islands, also known as modern-day Okinawa. The combat style of the same is similar to ancient Chinese martial arts on steroids. The first generation fighter from the clan, Yuichiro Hanma (grandfather of Baki), used the techniques based on the regions like Udonde which is a legendary move from the Ryukyu royal family.
Starting with Yuichiro Hanma, he was a legend without a doubt. At the time of World War II, the madman single-handedly eradicated 2000 American soldiers at the Okinawan island with a single move. This earned him the name of Oni or Devil from all his enemies.
Yujiro Hanma
is the second-generation fighter from the clan who is also dubbed 'the strongest creature on Earth.' He was known in the country as the killer of his own wife. The anime shows him as the main antagonist, and he has superhuman strength. Once, he stopped an earthquake with a mere punch.
And then comes Baki Hanma, who is the protagonist of the show. His only goal in the anime is to surpass his father in terms of strength. And he achieves the same by the end of the anime. Another Hanma member who is decently powerful is
Jack Hanma
, who is the half-brother of Baki Hanma. Once a great warrior, he destroys everything with self-destructive behaviour.

‘Waka Waka' scandal? Shakira and producer John Hill made millions from song meant for charity
The 2010 FIFA World Cup official song 'Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)' was supposed to raise money for African charities, but since 2014, no clear accounting of the funds has been made. The song was a huge global hit. Shakira teamed up with American producer John Hill and South African band Freshlyground. It went platinum in the USA, diamond in France, Brazil, Germany, Sweden, and topped charts in 11 other countries, including Italy and Spain, where it stayed number one for over 15 weeks. Its YouTube video has over 4.3 billion views, and it has nearly 1 billion Spotify streams, as reported by Josimar. Waka Waka money problem FIFA and Sony Music announced on 26 April 2010 that all proceeds would go to FIFA's '20 Centers for 2010' campaign, building 20 football-based centers in Africa for education, health, and football. Shakira expressed her joy, saying the campaign supported education, and then-FIFA president Sepp Blatter praised the song as symbolizing African rhythm and identity. Thanks to the song's initial success, the centers were built within four years, but after 2014, the money vanished. Despite millions of streams, views, and downloads, the revenue disappeared without public explanation. Freshlyground asked Sony Music and FIFA, but got no answers. Who really earned from Waka Waka Shakira claimed she wrote the chorus herself, but it was lifted note-for-note from Cameroonian band Zangalewa's 1986 hit 'Zamina Mina'. Zangalewa's leader, Jean-Paul Zé-Bella, said the song was based on a military march learned during service in Cameroon's presidential guard. Their viral video made the song famous across West Africa. Live Events ALSO READ: 266 parks, endless sunshine: This US city was just crowned world's most relaxing - have you been there? The song caused outrage in French-speaking Africa, as the chorus was almost identical to Zangalewa's, with only minor changes ('nawa ah ah' replaced by 'this time for Africa'). Sony Music claimed Shakira co-wrote the song, but media pressure led to an agreement in May 2010. Zangalewa reportedly got $400,000 as an advance and 33.33% of publishing income, shared between Zé-Bella, Eugene Victor Doo Belley, and Emile Kojidie, as per the report by Josimar. Who made money from Waka Waka Freshlyground got 4% of publishing income (0.57% each), John Hill 23.33%, and Shakira 39.34%. Shakira and John Hill kept their publishing rights, meaning they earned money from the first sale of the song, unlike true charity records like Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas'. Freshlyground only recorded parts of the song in New York, under John Hill's supervision, to fulfill FIFA's requirement that African musicians be involved. Shakira barely interacted with them until the World Cup final. The 'master rights' income (from sales, streams, downloads) mostly went to Shakira and Hill, not charities. Streams and performance rights continue generating income, estimated at around $9 million, but only FIFA and Sony Music know the exact figure. Shakira still performs 'Waka Waka' on tours, earning more money each time, while African charities see little to none of it. Josimar contacted Shakira, John Hill, Sony Music, and FIFA; no responses yet. He is also trying to reach Zangalewa's surviving members. The music video, shot by Marcus Raboy and choreographed by Hi-Hat, also featured Shakira meeting Gérard Piqué, her future partner and father of two of her children. FAQs Q1. Did the money from Shakira's Waka Waka song go to African charities? No, most of the money went to Shakira and producer John Hill, and very little reached the charities. Q2. Who actually wrote the Waka Waka chorus? The chorus was taken from Cameroonian band Zangalewa's 1986 song 'Zamina Mina,' not originally by Shakira.
