The Humanitarian's Hachimaki is a promotional headwear item for all classes. It is a white headband with a team-colored flower pattern on the front.

It is part of the Japan Charity Bundle, a set of hats introduced in the March 23, 2011 Patch that can be bought in the Mann Co. Store through April 6, with all proceeds (excluding taxes) going to fund Template:W relief operations in Japan following the Template:W.

Trivia

  • A Template:W (鉢巻, lit. "helmet-scarf") is a stylized headband in Japanese culture, usually made of red or white cloth. It was worn as a symbol of perseverance or effort by the wearer. Japanese kamikaze pilots in World War II would often wear hachimakis before flying to their deaths.
  • The flower on the Hachimaki is a Template:W (cherry) blossom, symbolic of Japan.
  • The Soldier wears this covering his eyes, like he does with the Hero's Hachimaki.
