Goku Son

Utama

Male · Umur 500+ (physically around 18) · Gol. darah O

Height: 162 cm (5'4") Perpetually hungry, energetic, and playful, Goku is Sanzo's constant compansion—viewing him as the "sun" around which his world revolves. He is neither a demon nor human, but is a heretic born from the Earth itself. Along with his incredible strength and speed, he uses his nyoibou (extendable staff) to fight demons in battle. Tasked by the Sanbutsushin (Three Aspects) and Kanzeon Bosatsu to accompany Sanzo on his journey, Goku is often seen trading insults with Gojyo or fighting with him over food.

Souichirou Hoshi

Kenren Taishou

Utama

Kenren Taishou is Sha Gojyo's previous incarnation. Background General of Heaven’s Western Army. A lawless man who loves saké, flowers, and women. He’s an infamous commander who used to be a general in the Eastern army, but he was demoted for sleeping with his commander’s wife, and became Field Marshal Tenpou’s subordinate. He’s a bold wanderer overflowing with chivalry, but also has a meddling, common-sensed face. He’s a good older brother –type person, especially to children and his subordinates. He’s been called Tenpou’s husband, but he’s actually more of a housewife, supporting Tenpou, who wouldn’t be able to handle daily life if left to his own devices. He doubted the absolute principle policies of heaven from before. He is attracted by the lower world’s art and the beauty of living things, and while he’s a military man in heaven’s army, he becomes involved with Goku. Character Features He has short black hair and black eyes, a sarcastic mouth, and a big, childlike smile. That look resembles Sha Gojyo somehow. He loves lower world luxury items like cigarettes. Since acquiring these goods is difficult, he smokes several brands. Weapons And Powers/Abilities Kenren is shown using guns in his missions. (Source: Saiyuki.wikia)

Hiroaki Hirata

Konzen Douji

Utama

Konzen Douji is Genjo Sanzo's previous incarnation. Background Kanzeon Bosatsu’s nephew. His status as a god was high, but his job consisted mainly of paging through documents, and the boredom was killing him. He’s a typical young master and doesn’t know what hard work is; although he’s the iron fist in a velvet glove and has a huge attitude, he has no strength or patience. He’s pure only so far as he has no worldly knowledge. He met Goku, and was influenced by Tenpou and Kenren as well, and defeated his previous self in order to protect that which was important to him, gaining the determination to face up to a huge power. Character Features He has long, fine golden hair, and long-lashed drooping eyes. His appearance resembles Genjo Sanzo somehow. Source: Saiyuki.wikia

Toshihiko Seki

Tenpou Gensui

Utama

Field Marshall Tenpou Gensou is Cho Hakkai's previous incarnation. Background Field Marshal of Heaven’s Western Army. He’s a reading maniac, and he’s always buried in books. He too loves lower world items, and he gathers senseless items in his office, calling him his collection. He’s easy-going and vague, very “my pace”. He doesn’t care at all about himself, with his shabby white coat and his dandruff-ridden hair – his handsome face is totally wasted. He’s famous for being a weirdo, and his calm, cool-headed insight while standing on the battlefield is like that of another person; his superior officer the Dragon King recognizes Tenpou as the superior military man. He used to be the type to bear everything on his own, but since he gained his good comrade Kenren, he changed his solitary recklessness, placed Kenren at the top of his unit, and put his heart into playing the wife role. He also has a dangerous side that leads him to keep hot items to himself beyond all expectations, and to keep his teeth in something until he’s satisfied, no matter who his opponent is. Character Features He has semi-long black hair, like it’s been left to grow out, and thick glasses. He has a handsome look that combines gentleness and harshness. That look somehow resembles Hakkai. His favored cigarette brand is Arc Royal. His beloved ash tray is a charming earthenware frog acquired in the lower world. Minekura had her assistant Suzuki Jirou-chan design it. She hopes to turn it into merchandise. Weapons And Powers/Abilities He is always shown using a Katana in various sealing missions. Source: Saiyuki.wikia

Akira Ishida

Kanzeon Bosatsu

Pendukung

One of the five great Bodhisattvas who live in heaven, one who administers mercy and compassion. However, she is a vulgar, boob-flashing, hermaphroditic, sexy Bodhisattva. This is the person who ordered the Sanzo Ikkou to go to the west. It may seem like she enjoys sending various trials at Sanzo and the others, but ever since 500 years ago she puts her heart and soul into watching over the way Goku and the others live their lives. In Gaiden, she displays enough natural power to knock out Goku after he’d changed into the Seiten Taisei. She might actually be the strongest. She is portrayed as a hermaphrodite in the manga, while in the anime it gives no indication of her being anything other than a female. In "Saiyuki Gaiden" she is Konzen's aunt, and the one responsible for bringing Goku to heaven.

Rei Igarashi

Nataku Taishi

Pendukung

Nataku only appears in Saiyuki Gaiden and in the anime Saiyuki, episode called "War Prince Nataku". Nataku is based on the Taoist deity Nezha. He is a half-mortal war god who won the then-divine Goku's friendship. Unfortunately, Nataku falls into a catactonic state (the reasons for this are not disclosed in the anime) and sits in the divine garden of heaven with only the Goddess of Mercy to keep him company staring blankly ahead for all time. In the series, Nataku is decidedly more somber than Goku and is resigned to being a puppet (he was 'given the honor' of being the War prince, a role which is later passed onto Homura) to the Gods. Furthermore, Nataku goes by a different title, but his background is still very much the same - right down to a Commander father and spear weapon. (However, it is glaringly obvious as the series goes on that the Commander is exploiting his son for fame and recognition from the Gods, reversing the roles that Nataku is to blame for misfortune) Nataku's father however, is then lectured by Field Marshal Tenpou (the past reincarnation of Cho Hakkai) and further mistreatment of his son is then yet to be seen in the series.

Kaho Kouda

Goujun

Pendukung

Dragon King of the Western Ocean, Goujun is a character that appears in Saiyuki Gaiden manga. Background Sole person responsible for Heaven’s Western Army, Tenpou and Kenren’s superior officer. He’s strict about discipline as an army officer should be, and undoubtedly takes heaven’s orders as absolute. He discards excess things and is very punctual. He values Tenpou highly, and from early on he rescued Goku and the others, who had begun to associate with Tenpou at some point, from danger. He got caught up in the fours’ rebellion, and even though he didn’t understand their thinking, he saw their paths with his own eyes. He has two horns growing from his silver hair. Scales dot his porcelain skin, and his eyes are red and gold. His strange appearance is closer to that of a youkai than a god. Source: Saiyuki.wikia
