This part of the site is dedicated
to the Suzaku Shichi Seishi, known in the English dub as "Suzaku
Seven", "Suzaku Warriors" or simply "The Suzaku". (Blah to the English
dub). Since Nuriko hosts the site, I thought I'd let my other two
favourite Suzaku boys take care of this section - Hotohori, Emperor of
Konan, and Tasuki, Lead Bandit of the Mt Reikaku gang. (Yeesh, what a
combination *that* is).
Suzaku Shichi Seishi means Seven
celestial warriors of Suzaku, pretty much. (Suzaku being the God's
name, Shichi meaning seven, Sei meaning star , or celestial, shi
meaning fighter or warrior). In the Japanese dub they are
referred to alternately as Suzaku Shichi Seishi, Suzaku Shichisei or
Shichi Seishi. I am lazy, however, and often refer to them as the
Seishi. Because I'm like that. :)
This section also covers the Suzaku
no Miko (Priestess of Suzaku), Yuuki Miaka. Well, she belongs
with them after all - doesn't she?
Each page contains the following:
Kanji for the character. Mugshots. Names and ages of character Seiyuu and English Voice Artist
(with soundbyte clips as samples) Pronunciation and other
observations (I really hate how the English dub butchers pronunciation
of their names, hence why I bothered with this) Songs (including brief sample clips
of as many of the character's songs as I have - I don't have all the
disks so I don't have all the songs, especially those from the OVAs.
Sorry about that :S) Highly
detailed and very geekish character psychoanalysis, biography, etc
including background, bonds and other interesting (I hope!)
observations.
As regards the clip samples for
voice artists, the two clips are not always from the same section of
film. I've tried to use English clips where they don't sound like
they're not sure what they're talking about - Chichiri's is one of the
few English lines I like from the dub, so I included that one instead.
Where the Japanese is concerned, I've tried to use the snippets where
the character introduces themselves, to further emphasise how their
names SHOULD be said.
(If I hear Chi-Cheery or Nu-reeeeeko
one more time I may scream. You've been warned. It's ear covering
time...)
