Name:
Hinoto
Meaning of her name: Hinoto is related to
"fire"
Age: Unknown
Hair Color: Light purple
Eye Color: Red (She's blind)
Nationality: Japanese
Family: Her sister Kanoe
Occupation: She works as a fortune teller in the basement
of the Diet building in Tokyo for political individuals.
Abilities: She is a dreamgazer. She can look into dreams,
see the future and she has telepathy. She uses her telepathy to
talk to people.
Tarot Card: Volume 2; The High Priestess
Princess Hinoto is a "dream-reader"
who has the power to weave together dreams that will mirror the
future. Through her powers she is able to show Kamui all of the
possible outcomes for the future of Tokyo.
Hinoto does not speak throughout the entire
movie- she communicates with the Dragons of Heaven (and whomever
else she speaks to) through telepathy. And just in case you didn't
know, she's really tiny (her hands are those of a child) and she
apparently doesn't have the ability to walk as all she can do is
crawl.
Her role in "normal" life is to weave
dreams for politicians, but once the final battle for the fate of
the world began, she knew that she must weave dreams and try
everything possible to stop the Dragons of Earth, led by her
sister Kanoe. Even though they are on opposing sides, they still
care for eachother as shown in the end of the movie.
Name: Kanoe
Age: Unknown
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Nationality: Japanese
Family: Her sister Hinoto
Occupation: She's the private secretary for the governor of
Tokyo.
Abilities: Her powers aren't as great as Hinoto's. But she
can always go into other people's dreams. She can see into the
future through Hinoto.
Tarot Card: Volume 3; The Empress
Just like her sister, Kanoe has the ability to
weave dreams that will mirror the future, but unlike her sister
she has chosen to weave dreams for the Dragons of Earth. When she
kidnapped Kotori she accidentally caused Fuma to come through her
dream. Once he had forced himself into the dream she immediately
realized that he was Kamui's twin star, and that he had the power
that she so desperately wanted from Kamui. Now that she had Fuma
and no longer needed Kamui she began to warp Fuma's mind and turn
him against his childhood friend, and ultimately the Dragons of
Heaven.
Not knowing how psychopathic Fuma had become,
the Dragons of earth were caught off-guard when he began to kill
them. Back at the Dragons of Heaven HQ Kamui was mourning over the
death of Kotori (who had been killed by her own brother when he
removed the sword from her) Fuma returns with Kanoe and stabs her
in front of Hinoto. Even though they were on opposite sides, Kanoe
and Hinoto share their last moments on earth together and Kanoe
dies in Hinoto's arms.
Dragons of Heaven (Ten no Ryu)/Seven Seals
Name: Kamui Shirou
Meaning of his name: His name has two meanings. 1) One who
represenst the majesty of God. Meaning he will save the Earth 2)
One who hunts the majesty of God. Meaning he will destroy the
Earth. Thus the fate of the Earth is in his hands.
Age: 16
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue or purple (manga), gold (movie)
Nationality: Japanese
Family: His mom Tooru and his aunt Tokiko
Occupation: High school student
Abilities: He can levitate and he can create forces of
energies.
Tarot Card: Volume 1; The Magician
Kamui is the main character of X. Not much is
known about his past other than the fact that Kotori and Fuma were
his closest childhood friends and that he was very close with his
mother. It is also not clear why he left everyone in the first
place, but his reason for returning to Tokyo was the dream that
opened X. His mother warned him, and instructed him to return to
Tokyo to protect the ones that he cares most about.
Initially, Kamui wants nothing to do with
defending Tokyo, or even the world for that matter. He snaps at
Hinoto and exclaims that he only cares about protecting Kotori and
Fuma. Unfortunately for him, Kanoe and the Dragons of Earth get a
hold of both Kotori and Fuma before anyone knows what's going
on... and that all but made up Kamui's mind for him.
As the story progresses, we never really see
Kamui's full fighting potential, but from what he shows he truly
must be "the power of God," as explained by Hinoto when
she reveals what his name really means, and where it came from.
To battle against Fuma and the sword of the
Dragons of Earth ( That was "extracted" from Kotori )
Kamui has his own sword, which was given to him in the same dream
that caused his return.
Name: Seiichirou Aoki
Age: 36
Hair Color: Light brown
Eye Color: Brown
Nationality: Japanese
Family: His wife Shimoka, his daughter Yuka, and his nephew
Daisuke Saiki
Occupation: He is the editor of Asuka comics.
Abilities: He is a wind master meaning he can control the
wind. He can also create a kekkai.
Tarot Card: Volume 5; The Hierophant
Aoki is one of the more conservative looking
members of the Dragons of Heaven, but don't let his appearence
fool you because he is also one of the bravest of the Dragons.
His main reason for fighting is to live a
peaceful life with his family. In the end it him and Nataku, and
in an amazing fight they both plummeted to their deaths off of the
top of a building... Aoki knew what he was doing, and sacrificed
himself for the Dragons of Heaven and his family.
Name: Sorata Arisugawa
Meaning of his name: The Sora in his name means
"sky".
Age: 17
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Nationality: Japanese
Family: He was raised by the stargazer Chuu at Mt. Kouya
because of his destiny but he used to have a family...
Occupation: He is a student
Abilities: He controls thunder and can form a kekkai in the
shape of a cube.
Tarot Card: Volume 7; The Chariot
Sorata's the tough guy of the Dragons of Heaven
and has an attitude that just can't be beat! Even though he's such
a joker, his self assigned job as Arashi's guardian is taken very
seriously, as we see later in the movie that they really cared for
each other.
As Sorata and Arashi meet Fuma in their final
battle, they are all but overtaken by his immense powers.
Attempting to save Arashi Sorata is struck so hard in the back
that he becomes more pissed than hurt. In a blind rage, he charges
his power to control lightning and attempts a full frontal attack
against Fuma... something he knew wouldn't work, but he would've
done anything to try and protect his beautiful partner.
As he lay there dying, Arashi ran to his side
and all he could talk about was how happy he was that he died
protecting Arashi. He was just the best.
Name: Arashi Kishuu
Meaning of her name: Kishuu means "ghost + curse"
Age: 16
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Nationality: Japanese
Family: Her father was a university Student who went to the
Ise Shrine to do some research. He got her mother, a maiden of the
shrine, pregnant and abandoned them. =( She was adopted by a lady,
Kaedo-sama, of the shrine who knew her destiny when she was very
young.
Occupation: She is a high school student.
Abilities: She is in reality Kakushi no Miko "Hidden
Shrine Maiden" of the Ise Shrine. She is the protector of Ise
and has the power of the shrine. The power is actually a sword
sheathed within her hand. She will not use it unless absolutely
necessary. She is also capable of forming a kekkai in the shape of
a triangle.
Tarot Card: Volume 14; The Temperance
Kishu is one of the coolest characters in X and
just has the coolest hair ^_- She is one of the strongest and most
skilled of the Dragons of Heaven, and was teamed up with Sorata.
Like Kamui, her sword was a part of her soul and would be summoned
when there was a battle to be fought. It would come out of her
left hand immediately and she was a very skilled sword fighter.
Sadly enough when Sorata and Kishu are fighting
an impossible battle against the maniacal Fuma, Sorata vows to
protect her in his non-chalant yet serious way, only to be killed
trying to protect her. She ran to his side as he lay there dying,
and her tears were all that were needed to show how she truly felt
about her guardian. When her back was turned as she grieved over
Sorata's death Fuma killed her with his sword and ended her pain.
Name: Karen Kasumi
Meaning of her name: "Kasumi" name means kind of
like divine fire/purgartory of flames. Also, "Karen" can
said as beautiful in Nihon-go.
Age: 29
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Gold
Nationality: Japanese
Family: Her mom who abandoned her. (Her mom believed that
Karen was a devil because she can control fire)
Occupation: She works as a Soapland Flower.
Abilities: She can control fire. She can also create a
kekkai in the shape of a cross.
Tarot Card: Volume 11; Justice
Growing up with a horrible past, Karen has
started to grow fond of Tokyo so she wants to protect it. Even
though she had a horrible childhood here, this was the only place
she could call home.
Her special ability is to control fire, and I'm
guessing that's why her final showdown was against Shogo whose
special ability was to control water. Their battle took place in
the subway, and their final moments were spent on the train and
the train tracks. Shogo was on top of the train and was laughing
thinking it would kill Karen who was on the train tracks when it
hit her. Unfortunately for him she used her power to cause the
impact to annihilate both of them.
Name: Subaru Sumeragi
Age: 21
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Nationality: Japanese
Family: His sister Hokuto (dead), his grandmother Lady
Sumeragi
Occupation: An exorcist
Abilities: He can exorcise spirits and he can summon a
shikigami from papers with the six-sided star.
Tarot Card: Volume 12; The Hanged Man
Subaru has a kind of grudge against Seishirou.
They have met before in Tokyo Babylon. They were good friends.
Seishirou pretended to be a nice guy working as a veternarian. But
in reality he is a cold-blooded assasin. The Sakurazukamori Clan
and the Sumeragi Clan have always been enemies. Subaru saw
Seishirou kill a little girl when he was younger and Seishirou was
suppose to kill him but instead Seishirou wanted to try to make
Subaru into his successor so he marked Subaru's hands with the six
sided Jewish star. Subaru was too soft to be the successor of the
Sakurazukamori Clan so Seishirou had to kill him. Subaru's twin
sister Hokuto decided to change Subaru's destiny so she asked
Seishirou to kill her instead so to spare Subaru's life. Seishirou
accepted and now Subaru has vowed to get revenge and kill
Seishirou if that is the last thing he does.
Name: Yuzuriha Nekoi
Meaning of her name: Nekoi means "cat". Yuzuriha
can mean "to yield, to turn over, or to let" in one kind
of kanji. Or it could mean "to protect" in another.
Age: 14
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Nationality: Japanese
Family: The people from the Mitsumine Shrine?
Occupation: She is a high school student
Abilities: She can summon her inugami, Inuki. She can also
form a kekkai in the shape of a cylinder.
Yuzuriha is the youngest of all of the Dragons
( both of Earth and Heaven ), having just barely entered junior
high school. Her counterpart oddly enough is the Gigantic Kusanagi
( who was about 4 feet taller than her)... And the way she knew
that he was a Dragon of Earth was because he was petting her
spirit dog, which no one but the Dragons can see.
Sadly, Yuzuriha died defending Kamui from a
deadly shot, and her only regret was that she was so young that
she never had a chance to fall in love anyone.
Dragons of Earth (Chi no Ryu)/Seven Angels
Name: Fuma Mono
Meaning of his name: His name in kanji could mean
"sealing the truth" or "the sealed truth".
Age: 17
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Nationality: Japanese
Family: His mom Saya, his dad Kyougo, and his sister Kotori
Occupation: A student
Abilities: He has the same powers as Kamui because he is
Kamui's twin star. Also he has the power to look like people,
according to the peer's wishes. He know's what people are wishing
and who they are wishing to see.
Fuma is one of Kamui's child-hood friends and
brother of Kotori. When the Dragons of Earth initially attack they
are after Kotori because they wish to use her to
"persuade" Kamui to be on their side. While Shogo and
Nataku are distracting the Dragons of Heaven and Kamui Kanoe pulls
Kotori into her dream. Seeing this Fuma pursues Kotori and forces
his way into Kanoe's dream.
Once inside the dream, Fuma confronts Kanoe and
she is absolutely stunned that Fuma was able to get into the dream
without her wanting him to be there. Thinking about it, she
realizes that Fuma is in fact Kamui's twin star and his role in
fate is to fill the opposite place that Kamui chooses to fill.
Through a strange dream in which Fuma sees
Kamui kill Kotori, Kanoe is able to trick Fuma into thinking he is
Kamui, and to stop Kamui he must kill him.
When Fuma begins to attack the Dragons of
Heaven, he begins to rapidly change and eventually became devoid
of emotion- and with one thing in mind: Kill everyone.
Unfortunately for the Dragons of Earth, they fell into that
category and he began to obliterate them as well as go after the
Dragons of Heaven. As you can guess, the final showdown is between
Kamui and his twin star- Fuma.
Name: Shogo Asagi (Anime Only)
Age: 26
Hair Color: Blond
Eye Color: Brown
Nationality: Japanese
Abilities: He is a water master meaning he can control
water.
Shogo along with Nataku distracted the Dragons
of Heaven when Kanoe was kidnapping Kotori. He has a really cool
power too- He can totally manipulate water both offensively and
defensively. Our first glimpse at this power is the "razor
blade rain" that strikes Kotori, Kamui and Fuma at the
Togakushi Shrine.
Shogo's final battle takes place in the subway
against the lingerie wearing Dragon of Heaven Karen Kasumi whose
power is to control fire. He gets a little zealous and tries to
ride a train into her, but it is his undoing as she causes a
massive explosion and manages to kill both of them.
Not much is known about this character. He was
created only for the X Movie. His part in the Dragons of Earth in
the manga was replaced by Kuzuki Kakyou.
Name: Yuuto Kigai
Age: 23
Hair Color: Blond
Eye Color: Brown
Nationality: Japanese
Family: His little sister Tomoe.
Occupation: Civil Servant
Abilities: He uses a weapon with two shape hands and a rope
attached between them. It has also been discovered after Volume 13
his new found power over water! A water master, very cool.
Tarot Card: Volume 15; The Devil
Yuuto seemed to be closer to Satsuki and Kanoe
than any of the other Dragons of Earth as he was usually seen in
their underground hideout. In fact Beast was quite jealous of Yuto
( Satsuki seemed to have a thing for him ) as it would not help
him according to Satsuki's commands as Fuma coldly and maliciously
killed him, even though they were both on the same side. Other
than this not much else is known about Yuuto.
Name: Kakyou Kuzuki (Manga Only)
Meaning of his name: "Ka" means tooth. "kyou"
means dawn. "ku" means nine or beautiful black jewel.
"zuki" (tsuki) means moon or month.
Age: Unknown
Hair Color: Light Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Nationality: Japanese
Family: Unknown
Occupation: He doesn't work because he is always sleeping
until the last battle when he will finally wake.
Abilities: He can create his own dreamscape and he can look
into people's dreams.
Tarot Card: Volume 10; Wheel of Fortune
Okay, he is the guy that doesn't show up in X
after a lot of volumes. He has always been asleep and is another
powerful dreamgazer. His only wish is to die so he can be with the
one he loves which is Hokuto! Heard that name before? You know,
she is Subaru's twin sister. Kakyou and Hokuto were suppose to be
destined lovers. After much explaining from my friend, it meant
that if Hokuto didn't die, then those two would have met and would
have fallen in love. But for those of you smart people out there,
you already understood that concept. How does Kakyou know about
this? Well, he is a powerful dreamgazer, remember? But now, since
she's dead...Here's a picture of Hokuto. Then again, have two! For
you Tokyo Babylon fans out there, you can see that she looks alot
different than when she was in Tokyo Babylon. I didn't recognize
her myself until my friend assured me that it was her. I think she
looks a lot better.
Name: Nataku
Meaning of name: The name of a Chinese god with no soul.
Age: No age
Hair Color: Silver
Eye Color: Purple
Nationality: Japanese
Family: None.
Occupation: None.
Abilities: He controls a white cloth (his
"ribbon") as sharp as a knife and can be really strong,
like a rope.
Nataku is a genderless character with the voice
of a woman and the body and features of a man. He is the perfect
assassin. He is a scientific experiment conducted to bring Kazuki
Toujyou back to life, made up of artificial human parts and some
of her father's limbs. He is a biroid that does feel physically
and emotionally.
Its final battle is against Aoki, and they both
plummeted to their death after it attempted to finish him off...
to its dismay he grappled on to it and caused it to fall off of
the top of a very high building.
Name: Seishirou Sakurazuka
Meaning of his name: "Sakura" means Cherry
Blossoms.
Age: 38
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Left side is brown, right side is silver
(artificial eye)
Nationality: Japanese
Family: His mother Setsuka (Dead. Seishirou killed her when
he was 15.) The Sakurazukamori Clan (All dead because the clan is
only one person who then has a successor to kill that person of
the clan. Example, Setsuka was the clan but then Seishirou became
her successor so he killed her. Now Seishirou is the present
Sakurazukamori Clan.)
Occupation: He is an assassin.
Abilities: He is a really powerful Onmyouji and uses his
powers for evil. He also has illusionary powers.
Tarot Card: Volume 13; Death
Seishiro is another character that little is
known about as he was one of the first characters that we see
fighting ( against Subaru ). He is very powerful, and while he and
Subaru are fighting he displays a great fighting technique...
Turning into a dragon simultaneously with Subaru. Their clash
instantly killed both.
Name: Kusanagi Shiyuu
Age: Around 35
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Nationality: Japanese
Family: None.
Occupation: He works with the JSDN (defense force)
Abilities: He can gather up power from his body and produce
alot of damage with his bare hands. Shirahadorii (Naked Blade
Catch), Hadouken (Wave Motion Punch), and Chikyuuwari (Earth
Split) are some of his attacks. He can also feel nature's pain.
Poor Kusanagi... even though he was one of the
physically larger characters of the movie, he was killed with the
twitch of an eyebrow, by someone on his own side - after his arm
was torn off by Yuzuriha's spirit dog. Some people have no luck!
All that was really displayed by him was throwing a truck at Kamui,
and trying to kill Yuzuriha (his counterpart).
Name: Satsuki Yatouji
Age: Around 21 or 22
Hair Color: Black with Brown Streaks.
Eye Color: Black
Nationality: Japanese
Family: Unknown
Occupation: She works for Kanoe
Abilities: She has the ability to share computer's thoughts
and feelings and the computers accept her. She can also use the
computer and control wires and stuff to fight. She fought with
Nekoi using that in one of the mangas. It was very effective.
Killed Inuki too...
Tarot Card: Volume 9; The Hermit
Satsuki is one of the more intelligent members
of the Dragons of Earth, as she is their computer genius of the
group. Her computer (nicknamed Beast) is used to gather
information about Kamui's arrival, and the deaths as a result of
battles.
Oddly enough Beast is so attached to Satsuki
that it actually gets jealous when she diverts attention away from
it... Something that causes her demise. When Fuma begins to
destroy Yuto, Satsuki commands Beast to protect Yuto, but it does
not obey her commands.Instead it kills her and begins to connect
to her once more just repeating "Satsuki is mine. I will give
her to no one."
Beast - This is what the mammoth computer of
the Dragons of Earth looks like. It has the ability to "keep
score" and even has some offensive uses as the mechanical
tentacles are used to try and grab Kotori in the beginning. It is
as stated previously very attached to Satsuki, and eventually
causes her death!
Others
Name: Kotori Mono
Age: 16
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Nationality: Japanese
Family: Her mom Saya (dead), her dad Kyougo (dead), and her
older brother Fuuma.
Occupation: She is a high school student
Abilities: She can communicate with animals and plants. She
can also see the future in dreams. She has the potential to be a
dreamgazer but she doesn't know how.
Tarot Card: Volume 6; The Lovers
Although Kotori is not a willing member of the
Dragons of Earth, she does fill Magami's (Kamui's Mother) opposite
spot... As Kamui's mother gave him the sword with which to hold
the fate of the world in his hands, Kotori also possessed a sword,
and it was what sealed her fate. When Magami gave Kamui her sword
she died rather horribly, and it was even worse for Kotori because
her own brother Fuma ripped it out of her, leaving Kamui to hold
her limp body. Poor Kotori was probably the most tragic character
in X, because no one ever told her what was going on, and if you
thought things got complicated, imagine how she felt.
Name: Tooru Magami
Meaning Of Name: "Ma" means light, or divine/holy
light in this case. "Gami" means gods or the belief in
gods so you can sort of interpret "Magami" as Divine
Light/Truth of God.
Age: Around her 30's
Hair Color: Dark brown
Eye Color: Black
Nationality: Japanese
Family: Her son Kamui, and her sister Tokiko.
Tooru and Saya were very good friends, they
were very close. They were soulmates and Tooru loves Saya. Saya
married into the Monou family to bear a Holy Sword in Tooru's
place. When a Holy Sword is taken out, the person will be ripped
to pieces and killed. Tooru felt really bad about it so she and
Kamui moved away from Tokyo. 6 years later, two weeks before Kamui
was to return to Tokyo she gave her son some last advice and Tooru
died in flames as Earth's Kagi-Ni (Sacrificial Shadow). She
welcomed her own death as to make amends for her sins. (It is
suspected that Kyougo, Saya's husband, might have also fathered
Tooru's child, Kamui.)
This is where it gets a little complicated. The
last name Magami is a Kagi-Ni (Sacrificial Shadow) tag, meaning
whoever had that last name becomes a Kagi-Ni. As said, it is a
sacrificial shadow. The Kagi-Ni are people who take the pains of
important political people, or rulers, gangsters, etc. There are
like substitutes, dolls used to protect important people. The Kagi-Ni
are linked to a person to protect them so Kagi-Ni can never die!
They must protect their own lives because if a Kagi-Ni dies, the
person that is linked to the Kagi-Ni will die also. So it is
really weird that Tooru would give up her own life as purgatory.
There was a conversation with Kamui, Arashi and Sorata where they
discussed the subject of the Kagi-Ni and how there were no
high-class political person, big time gangsters, etc. who died at
the time that Tooru died and no one was burned up in flames
because if it was anyone important, the news would have announced
it. There was no trace of anyone dying at that time but Tooru was
linked to someone...question is, who was it? Strange...
