Characters
In a fashion archetypical to the franchise, Tenchi in Tokyo follows the life and adventures of Tenchi Masaki, an adolescent who becomes the host and love-interest for extraterrestrial women who end up living with him in one way or another. The series incorporates the same main cast as Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki albeit different histories; Tenchi and Katsuhito are not of Jurian descent, Ayeka by extension, is not searching for her brother, and Washu is hired as an accomplice by Ryoko rather than creating her. Sakuya is arguably the most renown addition to the cast; an attractive, intelligent if a bit temperamental girl who becomes acquainted with Tenchi at school and notably, the first of the franchise to have an established relationship with him.
The show's focal antagonists and their endeavors are fronted by Yugi, a mysterious girl who is prominently seen above the skies of Japan amid a palace of crystal. While her motives are not revealed until toward the end of the series, Yugi has a noticeable grudge against the Masaki family and delights in troubling them. She is afforded the later assistance and recurrence of three self-made servants; Hotsuma, an intelligent blond hair, bespectacled gentleman, Matori, a loud and aggressive spitfire, and Tsugaru, an effeminate and androgynous man.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has “never had a chance, poor devil,” you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.”
—Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
“Children pay little attention to their parent’s teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
