Pegasus Seiya

Pegasus Seiya (天馬星座(ペガサス)の星矢, Pegasasu no Seiya?), also known as Seiya, is a fictional character from the Saint Seiya universe created by Masami Kurumada. He is the thirteen-year-old protagonist of this media franchise, which originated in Kurumada's eponymous manga and subsequently inspired an anime adaptation, several soundtracks, original video animations, films, video games, spin-off manga and other collectibles. Like most of Kurumada's characters, Seiya's design was inspired in the main character of his previous hit manga Ring ni Kakero, Takane Ryūji.

In the story, Seiya is one of the eighty-eight mythical warriors known as Saints who have served the Goddess Athena throughout the ages, protecting justice and peace on Earth. As a Saint, Seiya dons one of the powerful armors of divine origins known as Cloths, the one which represents the constellation of Pegasus. He also possesses superhuman strength and speed, two of the many extraordinary abilities the Saints draw from their guardian constellations and an inner essence called Cosmo.

    Such as even poets would admit perforce
    More practical than Pegasus the horse
    If it could put a star back in its course.
