He is considered one of the best centers in Kanagawa Prefecture. He combines strength and tactical skill in his play, easily avoiding defensive play. When Fujima is not on the court, he takes on the role of captain, responsible for psyching up the team. For this purpose, he is a fairly reliable player for Shoyo. Hanagata is the only starter shown wearing glasses, although they are removed from his face when Sakuragi commits his fourth foul, and Hanagata plays the rest of the match without them.

Hanagata celebrates his own in the game against Shohoku Akagi Takenori, but when paired with Sakuragi, he is completely outrebounded. Being a top center, he is quite agile for his size. He takes on the cudgels to score for his team when Fujima is not on the court. He also knows how to use his teammates effectively. He and Nagano are knocked out by Sakuragi after he knocked them down, but despite Sakuragi's effort, he still got his fifth foul. Nevertheless, he is happy for the fans. Hanagata also missed a desperate three-point attempt against Shohoku, making the final score 62-60.
