His
true name is Seiya (translates literally as "Star Arrow", but
should be read as "Shooting Star" or "Meteor") and
he is Japanese in origin. He is, obviously, the title character of the
show. He was sent to Sanctuary in Greece for his final training, where
he was given the warrioress Marin as his sensei. Seiya's special talent
is the "Pegasus Meteor Punch", which enables him to hit an opponent
a hundred times in a single second. He used this power to defeat another
candidate for the Cloth, Cassios, in combat during the first episode. Seiya
was separated from his sister when he was kidnapped, and she disappeared
from the orphanage during his absence. He spends much of his spare time
searching for her in the beginning, before things begin happening too fast
for him to look! He has a very short temper and is very impulsive, which
tends to get him into trouble. His armor is basically silver and red. He
has brown hair and eyes. Seems to be the youngest of the Saints at age
13. |
