На всякий случай, если кто не
понял: все это будет на английском!!!! Но если
пожеланий перевести будет более чем много,
я помучаюсь...
A smile always comes to my face when I think about Tasuki. My friend
Tina is *exactly* like him in personality. Don't believe me? Honest to God, when
she's feeling happy about something she says, "Let's get into a fight!". Tasuki
couldn't say it better himself ^^.
Basic Info: Full Real Name: Kou Shun'u Nicknames:
Genrou, Gen-chan Age and Birthdate: 17, born April 18 Family: Mother,
Father, 5 older sisters Seishi Name: Tasuki Seishi Character: The kanji
for "Wing", located on his right forearm Seishi Ability: Speed and agility,
some martial arts, and later, exclusive use of his tessen. He's all-around
exceptionally blessed by Suzaku. First Appears: Episode 14 of the anime
Height: 178cm --> 5'7" Blood Type: B Hair Color: Flaming Red!
Eye Color: Murky green (they are pretty, even if it sounds unattractive)
Personality: Sometimes it's the toughest-talking
guys who are truly sweeties at heart, and Tasuki sure is a tough talker --
- "Shut the *#(& up, Meri, I told you, I hate women!"
- Uh huh. Yeah. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, Gen-chan?
I don't know much about
his life as a bandit, but from the series we come to see that he's fiercely
loyal and a friend to the end... no matter what he says. Just look at his
relationships with his miko and the other shichiseishi:
Miaka Okay so Tasuki emphatically states that he hates women... is that
because Miaka can get him to do any old thing she wants him to, without asking
twice? Oh, can she ever ^^. But we all know that he loves her in his own way;
he'd even, oh, I don't know, take a beating for her ^^*. Now, that's class. Or
stupidity. I can't remember which. (Just having a little fun at your expense,
Tasuki. Put the tessen down, dear.)
Nuriko These two are so cute together (oh, I have to stop doing that)!
Ah, okay, Tasuki and Nuriko have a cool friendship. Tasuki teases Nuriko and in
return Nuriko keeps Tasuki in line. And our purple-haired seishi is not afraid
of pounding Tasuki into a nearby wall if that's what he needs. But Tasuki really
cares for Nuriko and it's obvious in his actions if not his words. Nuriko, I
think, brings out a good side in Tasuki. And Tasuki... keeps Nuriko on his toes
^^;.
Tamahome Hehehe ^^. Is it because Tasuki's holding a little grudge about
past misadventures why he insists on flaming Tamahome at every opportunity (or
creating the opportunity to do so)? Surely it's mainly some macho showmanship (I
never could understand such stuff)! Yet those two fight so much that there must
be something concrete to their friendship after all. And do you know what I
think? I think that Tasuki would walk the wire for Tamahome in a second, and
vice versa. But then we all knew that, didn't we? ^_~
Chiriko Tasuki may have initially seen him as a pestering youngster, but
Chiriko's own insecurities led him to view Tasuki as a real role model and took
him for a confidante. Ever since then the two have shared a unique relationship,
and Tasuki feels obliged to protect Chiriko from whatever dangers may present
themselves (this includes shielding the eyes of said impressionable young'un
from corruption ^^). And much to Tasuki's surprise, Chiriko turned out to be
stronger than either of them had ever thought.
Thoughts: Tasuki is one of the only characters
(maybe even the only one) that I can see being an average Joe in this world
(that has a lot to do with the fact that I know someone just like him, but even
so, Tasuki just seems very... real), and for that I have a special fondness for
him. It's no small factor that the seiyuu (voice actor) who brings
Tasuki to life (Hayashi Nobutoshi) is one of the most talented that I've heard.
He manages to take Tasuki from rowdy, slapstick comedy to the most
heart-breaking despair almost as fast as you can say "mood swing". Not too many
characters can make you cry both with laughter and out of sadness; Tasuki is one
such character.
A favorite Tasuki quote of mine: "We Suzaku seishi aren't smart
enough to give up!"
