In the 1983 anime adaptation Fushigi no Kuni no Alice, also known as Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter is a character named Hatta. His background is rooted in a tragic history of unrequited love, which lends a deeper emotional complexity not present in the original literary character. He is a hatted man who is especially fond of hosting elaborate tea parties, a defining trait carried over from the source material. His personality balances an outwardly eccentric and slightly unhinged demeanor with a fundamentally kind and caring nature. Despite his erratic behavior, he is deeply compassionate and genuinely wishes to help others. His primary motivation is to protect and guide Alice as she navigates the chaotic and often bewildering world of Wonderland, frequently offering her advice and assistance. In the story, he serves as one of Alice's closest and most loyal allies. His key relationship is with Alice, whom he supports throughout her journey. The character undergoes minimal overt development within the series, but his tragic backstory provides a nuanced layer that distinguishes him from a purely comic figure. His notable abilities include a deep knowledge of Wonderland and its peculiarities, a talent for throwing tea parties, and a knack for providing guidance, often through his own unique and whimsical logic.
