Suzaku Profile
|
This is Suzaku Seikun, the god Suzaku himself. Though Suzaku is depicted as a red phoenix, this is how his human form looks like. |

Suzaku no Miko - The Priestess - Miaka |
||
|
Miaka has an elder brother, Keisuke and a strict mother. In her home world, she is an average student who was constantly pressured by her mother to do well in her exams. She is a glutton, always stuffing herself full whenever there is food. This weakness was used by her enemies against her (tempt her into traps). She has a big heart, always caring about others, especially Yui, even when Yui turned against her. Eventually, half of her Warriors fell for her, notably Tamahome & Hotohori. But she has only Tamahome in her heart. Has to overcome a lot of obstacles to be with him, especially the fact that he is only a character from a book. |

Celestial Warrior - Tamahome |
|
|
|
The
first Suzaku Warrior that Miaka met. The first impression that you'll
get from Tamahome is that he is very money-faced and selfish. Well, he's
actually kind and caring. He's very into making money because he has to
support his family, being the eldest of five children at the age of 18.
His mother had passed away and his father is sick. Did not get along
well with Miaka at first, but later realized how important she was to
him when she returned to her world. His special abilities are his superb
martial arts skill. He fights very well, but fights even better when
Miaka's in danger. Has a demon |

Celestial Warrior and Emperor of Konan - Hotohori |
|
|
|
The
fourth emperor of the Konan Empire, Emperor Saihitei, otherwise known as
Hotohori, after one of the constellations of Suzaku. Hotohori ascended
the throne when he was still very young. Grew up believing in the
prophesy that a girl from another world would save his kingdom, he was
already in love with Miaka even before he met her. He was a lonely man,
taking no interest in the women in his harem (his excuse to his
officials was that he was prettier than all of them), hoping that the
prophesied girl would love him as a person, not as an emperor. Miaka
mistook him as a girl when they first met (hillarious). Most of the
times, he acts very vain, thinking very highly of his looks. But
he is very caring towards Miaka and the other warriors, for they had
brought color into his life. Even though he loves Miaka, he was willing
to back off because he knows that Miaka loves Tamahome only. He bears

Celestial Warrior - Nuriko |
|
|
|
One
look at him, and you would think of him as a pretty girl. Well,
surprise... it's a HE. In the first few episodes, Nuriko appears as an
imperial concubine who was in love with Hotohori (who does not pay
attention to his concubines), and dislikes Miaka (because she gets
Hotohori's attention). But it later turned out that Nuriko was in fact,
a GUY, who loves to dress up as a woman (cross-dresser). The reason why
he dresses up as a woman was revealed later in the series, something
that had to do with the death of his younger sister, Kourin. His real
name is Ryuen, and has the willow |

Celestial Warrior & The Masked Monk - Chichiri |
|
|
|
Chichiri
was the fourth Celestial Warrior that Miaka found. He is a monk who
wears a smiling mask to hide the scar on his face (can you see it?). He
had a tragic past, where his best friend stole his fiancée away from
him. His fiancée committed suicide, and Chichiri accidentally murdered
his best friend (which was how he got the scar). But he is definitely
the cutest and funniest among the Seven, always ending his sentences
with 'no da?'. He only takes off his mask when he is serious (then he's
cool). His mark, |

Celestial Warrior & Leader of the Bandits of Mt Reikaku - Tasuki |
|
|
|
Miaka
met this unruly bandit when Hotohori, Nuriko and her were captured and
brought to Mount Reikaku, a bandits' haven. He was called Genroh, who
was suppose to be the leader of the bandits when their late leader
passed away. Unfortunately, he was not around when the leader died, and
one of the bandits took advantage. Miaka helped him to regain the
leadership, unaware that he was in fact one of the Celestial Warriors.
He eventually revealed himself, and left Mount Reikaku to his best
friend to join Miaka on her journey. He has the |

Celestial Warrior & Healer - Mitsukake |
|
|
|
Miaka
met Mitsukake when she became ill after she caught the plague in a
village, while searching for the Celestial Warriors. The plague in the
village was caused by a demon that possessed a woman named Shoka. Turns
out that Shoka was in fact Mitsukake's lover, but she had died while
Mitsukake was away to treat someone. After her death, Mitsukake became a
very sad person, throwing away his responsibility as a healer, and he
even refused to treat Miaka. Mitsukake then decided to confront Shoka,
who was possessed by the demon after she died in pain and in loneliness,
without her beloved by her side. This part of the story was so sad that
I ended up sobbing a bucketful. Mitsukake

Celestial Warrior - Chiriko |

Chiriko
appeared rather late in the series, showing up as a 13-year-old boy
(yes, a boy) with lots of brains. He is very smart, passing the
government exams at such a tender age. He is able to play music by
blowing a leaf (i haf no idea how). He has the
