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:
“A criminal trial is like a Russian novel: it starts with exasperating slowness as the characters are introduced to a jury, then there are complications in the form of minor witnesses, the protagonist finally appears and contradictions arise to produce drama, and finally as both jury and spectators grow weary and confused the pace quickens, reaching its climax in passionate final argument.”
—Clifford Irving (b. 1930)
“Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
