Saiyuki is the work of Minekura Kazuya. The story preludes the chaos that begins in Togenkyo which is the holy land where humans and demons used to live together peacefully and got along well. However after the attempt of someone to use the art of chemical and magic together from the ancient scripture to return life to Gyumao, the super demon who was killed and buried in Tenjiku by Nataku Taishi, one of the five gods who rule the heaven, Genjo Sanzo is called to Shayou Choan Palace. He is assigned to go to the west land where the chaos begins to find out who is behind all the turmoil that is rising and to stop its process. Genjo Sanzo is a sanzoboshi which is the highest rank of the monk. Joining along in the journey are Son Goku, Sha Gojyo, and Cho Hakkai whom Sanzo is assigned to work with by Kanzeonbosatsu. Kanseonbosatsu is the goddess of mercy and also one of the five gods of the heaven.(And, if I might add, she is hermaphroditic!) Sanzo didn’t agree to take them along at first because the three are demons, although each of them has part of human that sustains their sanity. However that is yet to be found whether he’s going to believe in his "eyes of the heart" on the view of their relationship as they rejoin, learning more about others’ painful backgrounds, and battle together along the way to the west.

Son Goku
Height: 162 cm. Weight: 51 kg. Birthday: April 5 Age: 18 Eyes color: gold
Personality: A lively little monkey (?) Goku was originated from a stone that has collected aura from the earth. His mind seem to always flow around food and playing thus he never really has a deep thought about anything.(I mean in a sophisticated sense, as a matter of fact he actually does think a lot about the other 3) Goku was imprisoned in a stone jail for 500 years without getting old because of the severe crime he committed when he was very young. His easy-going and childish personality remarks him as a toy among everybody else in the group.(must be also because he’s the youngest member) Gojo is the one who fools around with him, Sanzo shuts them up and Hakkai looks after him. Goku is rather frolic and jovial, also very optimistic. His weapon is the three-jointed Nyoi staff.

Genjo Sanzo
Height: 177 cm. Weight: 64 kg. Birthday: November 29 Age: 23 Eyes color: purple
Personality: A cruel and rather immoral priest. He enjoys drinking, smoking tobacco, likes gambling, and even carries a gun. Sanzo is a dangerous guy that is hard for people to pay respect to even if he wasn’t a representative of Buddha. He is searching for a lost scripture of the former sanzoboshi who took care of him when he was young and was massacred by a demon. Sanzo is a stunning 23-year-old man who is stubborn and self-centered, but posses charm and ability to make a prudential decision and has a fantastic leadership. His favorite phrases are "You die" and "I’m gonna kill you". His major weapons are the sultras of heaven and hell, a pistol and a paper fan.(the latter one is usually used with Goku and Gojo ^^)

Sha Gojo
Height: 184 cm. Weight: 75 kg. Birthday: November 9 Age: 22 Eyes & hair color: crimson
Personality: A rather obscene and lecherous water demon. Gojo can be viewed as a jerk easily at first glimpse because of his wild nature. Nevertheless, he is actually quite sentimental and deos care a lot about everyone in the gang like a big-brother type. On the journey, besides helping Sanzo, Gojo is also searching for his elder brother who saved his life from his mother and abandoned him when he was a kid. A big womanizer, he likes to quarrel with Goku, close to Hakkai, and doesn’t seem to be able to carry on a long conversation with Sanzo. Gojo is a half-blood demon thus he doesn’t need to wear a control accessory to disguise himself as a normal human. His favorite weapon is a staff which attached with a chain and a blade, however in close fights he usually uses combat arts. Gojo is also a big smoker.

Cho Hakkai
Height: 181 cm. Weight: 69 kg. Birthday: September 21 Age: 22 Eyes color: green
Personality: A perceptively calm, easy to get along with and very kind to everyone even to his enemy. Hakkai’s main duty other than helping Sanzo fight the demons(as I observed)is like being a big brother who takes care of the members of the gang. He is always very caring and always has a warm smile on his face. Although the other 3 have problems with his unpredictable nature whether he is joking or serious on occasion, they all know there’s a dark and menacing side of him that springs out from his haunting memory from time to time as well. His right eye almost can't see anything, resulted from one severe fight in the past. In fighting Hakkai usually uses Kikou arts or mind power, and smile is a weapon. He is the owner of the little dragon "Jeep" that can transform itself into the vehicle. The cuff he wears on his left ear is for controling his spirit power and maintaining his human appearance.
