It's for this reason that Shun'u left home at an early age to become a member of the Mt.Leikaku bandits, earning his nickname Genrou ("Phantasm Wolf") there, as bestowed by the former leader, Hakurou. (Learn more about Hakurou and a young Genrou in Genrou-den) As a seishi, Tasuki brings speed and the flame fan tessen to the group as well as the ability to "tell it like it is."

Name : Yuuki Miaka
Birthdate : 5/12/77
Age : 15
Height : 158cm ~5'1"

Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color : Brown
Blood Type: B
Interests : Eating and Tamahome
Flaws : Eating, Naive, and Trusting
Seiyuu : Araki Kae
Miaka is the heroine of our fair story, and the lucky lady who gains all those gorgeous guys dedicated to protecting only her. Miaka is an unlikely hero at first, being immature, gluttonus, naive, and extremely trusting. Of course, these are also her strengths (except the gluttonus). Miaka's job as Miko requires a pure body and a strong will, the pure body is not a problem (as long as she and Tamahome keep their hands off eachother) and the strong will is earned through the hardships Miaka must endure in gathering the seishi and calling Suzaku. Personally, I like Miaka. I think alot of people cut her down way too out of hand and don't really see the good, trusting, loving, giving, self-sacrificing person that she is (or becomes). Give the girl a break, she's tryin her best!!!

Tamahome proves to be one of the most dynamic and interesting characters in Fushigi Yuugi. I'll admit that at first I didn't like him and that it took about 15 episodes for me to really like him. Tamahome is obviously our leading male character, he is the love interest for our heroine, the fighting force behind the Suzaku seishi, and the object of contention for both Seiryuu No Miko and her protector Nakago. Around here we find out the reason for Tamahome's money-centric attitude...his father is sick, his mother is dead, and he has four siblings to raise...all on his own. All of his siblings are younger than him, so they rely solely on him for food, money, and anything else they might need. So it turns out that Tamahome's thirst for money has been for his family's well-being. ^_^ After Amiboshi had posed as a Suzaku seishi, fled, and fallen headfirst into the river, Suboshi (Amiboshi's brother) decided to take revenge on Tamahome. Believing that Tamahome had killed his sibling, Suboshi mercilessly slaughtered Tamahome's family. The shock nearly destroyed Tamahome. Ultimately he came to the conclusion that Miaka was his life. He had been born to protect her, he couldn't protect his family, but with them gone, he had nothing to divide his attentions. His efforts were redoubled. Lastly, upon the seishi sending their chi to Tamahome (and Miaka summoning Suzaku), he was able to defeat Nakago in single combat. He and Miaka knew a wish to be together would not be granted by Suzaku. So they were forced to part, but Tamahome promised that he would find "nomatter how long it takes." We then flash forward to Miaka and Yui in high school (the same high school, not Jonan Academy), and Keisuke introducing Miaka to a new student at his college, "he has memories of a past life where he was born to protect a girl." He looks exactly the same, although his name is different (Sukunami Taka) and he was born into the real world...it is Tamahome reborn. ^_^

Hotohori-sama is definately the most gorgeous anime man i have ever seen! Hotohori is the Emperor of Konan country, he ascended to the throne at a very young age (fourteen), and since then has had to mature quickly. He is a very serious young man, gentle, kind, and good to the people he rules over. Saddled with the affairs of a whole country early in life, Emperor Saihitei grew up lonely among advisors and ambassadors, it was at this time that he learned of the legend of Suzaku No Miko. It was written in the legend that a symbol would appear on the neck of the crown prince and that a girl would appear from another world to save the country in its time of need, and that the prince would be one of her protectors. A young Hotohori embraced this legend hoping that the miko would be the one to end his loneliness. When Miaka arrived, Emperor Saihitei instantly vied for her love, so much so, that he threatened an also-enamoured Tamahome. Hotohori eventually learned to control his feelings and to accept the true love formed between Miaka and Tamahome. Hotohori's spoiler info can be found here and here...be warned.
During the 2nd OVA release, there were six cds released, one for each 2nd OVA episode. Besides the BGM and vocal tracks featured in the episode, there were a couple of drama tracks detailing the reincarnation of the seishi into Miaka's world. Hotohori's reincarnation is called Andy Wong. He's a huge popstar from China, and of course, he's gorgeous.

Nuriko is definately one of my favorite characters in Fushigi Yuugi, of course I love them all. First introduced as a princess in the royal palace, Nuriko quickly admits a love of Emperor Hotohori and must be "forced" to become a seishi for Miaka as Miaka is an obstacle in the way of Hotohori's love. Of course Nuriko sees the good in Miaka eventually and joins the ranks of Miaka's seishi willingly. A person of remarkable abilities and a strong sense of self and duty, Nuriko is the COOLEST of the cool. Best friends with Tasuki, shoulder for Miaka, and general friend to all. go here (read the spoilers) for Nuriko's past.

Tasuki is definately my all around favorite character in Fushigi Yuugi, he's got the looks, the cool coat, the smart mouth, and the tepid attitude. Genrou or Shun'u, grew up as the youngest brother of five sisters (none of which are mentioned in the anime), and as a consequence, Gen-chan has grown up disliking and distrusting women (because they cause him trouble). It's for this reason that Shun'u left home at an early age to become a member of the Mt.Leikaku bandits, earning his nickname Genrou ("Phantasm Wolf") there, as bestowed by the former leader, Hakurou.

Flaws : Looks like a little girl (but at 16 he's a babe!), and useless in the anime
Seiyuu : Kawakami Tomoko
Chiriko was the last of the seishi to be found, and whose power is extreme intelligence. The thing that is forgotten most often about Chiriko is that he is a kid. It's the seishi symbol (when lit) that makes him smart, without it he is just a scared, little child. This concept was completely ignored in the anime thus wiping out a major reason for sympathizing and liking the courageousness that Chiriko really did possess.
During the 2nd OVA release, there were six cds released, one for each 2nd OVA episode. Besides the BGM and vocal tracks featured in the episode, there were a couple of drama tracks detailing the reincarnation of the seishi into Miaka's world. Chiriko was reborn as a Canadian child prodigy scientist (*shock*) named Duke Prio.
