Naoko Takeuchi's Original Senshi!


Long before there was Sailor moon manga or anime, there was Sailor V. Sailor V was Naoko Takeuchi's original design for a soldier of love and justice. This manga was published in magazines and was pretty popular. Takeuchi also began drawing Sailor moon manga. When Toei Animation approached her about making an anime series about her "Bishojo Senshi", she immediately thought of Sailor V. But the Toei Animation was more interested in the Sailor moon story, because it involved more characters. So, Sailor V was forsaken so that Sailor moon could become overwhelmingly successful as it is today. But ... why didn't Toei Animation make a series about V-Chan as well? We can only wonder ...

Code Name Sailor V! This is Aino Minako, a 13 year old 7th grade student. She is pretty much normal (maybe a little clumsy and boy-crazy, like any girl). But with the power of the moon, she transforms into Sailor V, the soldier of love and justice!

Along with her talking cat, Artemis, she battles evil in her town. The Sailor V manga is not as serious as the Sailor moon manga. It's actually pretty silly. But that can be the best thing for those people who get sad reading Sailor moon. Sailor V will never fail to make you laugh.

Mina enjoys sports, TV, video games, food, karaoke, and many other things. The only thing she doesn't like is schoolwork!

Here are some of the people in Minako's life!

(Note: Their names are listed traditional Japanese style, last name first. So, her best friend's first name is Hikaru.)

Her partner, Artemis. He advises her and trains her to be a soldier. Poor Artemis.

This is her best friend, Sorano Hikaru.

This is Mina's classmate, Amano Gurikazu. He has a big crush on her.

This is Furihata Motoki. Motoki is an older boy who works at the Crown Game Center, where Mina spents a lot of her time. Mina has a big crush on him.

This is Tokushukei Wakagi. He is a police officer. Sailor V always beats him to the criminals, and this frustrates him a lot.

This is Sokan Keishi, the chief of police. She has a big crush on Sailor V and wants her to join the police force. Keishi yells at Wakagi a lot because he messes up.

Go to Sailor moon? Go to Mina's Photobook? Go to Mina's Room? Go to Mina's Info? Go back to Sailor V Shrine?
