Michiko e Hatchin (also known as Michiko to Hatchin) is a 22 episode anime televison series from Studio Manglobe (Eden of the East) and produced by Shinichirō Watanabe (director of Cowboy Bebop). The series is set in the South American country of Republica de Diamandra (a fictional nation based largely on Brazil) and centers around a young orphan girl named Hatchin who's world is turned upside down when the escaped convict Michiko "kidnaps" her form her abusive adoptive family in order to find Hatchin's birth father, who Michiko has a history with and believes is still alive.
The following firearms are used in the anime series Michiko e Hatchin:
The Smith & Wesson Model 10HB is also commonly seen in the hand of multiple police officers in the show (usually with the post 1950s front sights and 6" barrels). Any scene where a cop draws his Model 10 usually results in Michiko taking it from him.
Inspector Atsuko Jackson carries a custom M1911 as her standard weapon. The pistol's modifications include target sights, and extended safety switch, skeleton trigger, and a long slide and 7" barrel (similar to the AMT Hardballer Longslide).
Rico carries a Browning Hi-Power pistol. The weapon is a conglomeration of various Hi-Power models, featuring the slide of the early Hi-Power models and the horn hammer of the post-1973 models. Shinsuske is also seen using one (and two) during episode 20.
In episode 10, Shinsuske hides a Taurus Model 85 with wood grips and loaded with a single round on the captive Mitchiko before delivering her to Satoshi.
Satoshi's favorite weapon is the Taurus Tracker Model 455 revolver. He owns at least two of them, as he dual-wields them during the Casa Vento shootout.
The police officers in Batata who try to interrupt Michiko's bank robbery all carry CZ 83 pistols. These are all older models distinguishable by the rounded triggerguards.
The corrupt police sergeant in episodes 21 and 22 uses a yet-to-be-identified M1911 variant/clone with an external extractor and an ambidextrous slidelock.
The guards in Penitenciár de Diamandra carry Beretta M12 (likely intended to be the Brazilian "Taurus PM12" clone) submachine guns. Michiko snags one during her escape, and continues to use it throughout the first episode. Satoshi is also seen using one in episode 20, as are several of his men during the flashback in that episode.
Shinsuske and his men use suppressed Ingram MAC-10 submachine guns in episode 8. They are seen using these same weapons again (sans suppressors) during the Casa Vento shootout.
During her brief reassignment to a backwoods village in episode 13, Atsuko is seen with an unidentified rifle slung over her shoulder. The weapon is never seen clearly enough to identify, or even to know if it is bolt-action or semi-automatic.
The local crime boss in episode 21 uses a Ruger Mini-14 rifle outfitted with a small scope. The weapon's portayal is somewhat off, as the magazine is drawn too far back on the reciever and the shooter is seen manually cycling the bolt.
The Republica de Diamandra border guards are armed with a nondescript assault rifle. The weapon is never clearly seen, making it impossible to positively ID.
