Six girls + one guy = trouble Poor Tenchi! 
Tenchi Masaki is the main character of the series, hence the name Tenchi Muyo!. He is the son of Nobiyuki and Achika. He now lives with just his father. Her mother died when he was young. He helps run his grandfater's shrine. Tenchi is sympathetic and generous, especially since he lives with his dad, his grandfather, Ryoko, Ayeka, Sasami, Washu, and Ryo-Ohki. He does get angry often, mainly with Ryoko. Although they do fight, they stay friends. Tenchi easily makes friends. His polite and kind manner keeps the girls, and the show, together. 
Princess Ayeka Princess Ayeka is a member of royalty from the planet Jurai. She has traveled across the galaxy looking for Ryoko, whom she thinks has hurt or kidnapped her former betrothed, Yosho. This too, varies depending on which Tenchi series you are watching, though. Ayeka crash lands on Earth and is forced to live with Ryoko at Tenchi's house. She falls in love with Tenchi, and she spends most of her time either fighting over Tenchi with Ryoko, or scheming in conjunction with her to cut out the other women in the house. Ayeka is the crown princess of Jurai, and is used to being treated like royalty. It is a great shock to her to be around all of the "coarse" people in the house, especially Ryoko. Ayeka is the big sister of Sasami, who has a much sunnier disposition. Ayeka is prudish, uptight, self-pitying, and spiteful, but she loves Tenchi very much and will defend him to the death. She even makes friends with Ryoko, though it's not always argument free.

Sasami Sasami is the younger sister of the Princess Ayeka, also an heir to the royal throne of Jurai. Depending on which Tenchi series you are watching, Sasami either crash landed on Earth with her sister while chasing Ryoko, or came to Earth in a mishap involving Ryoko and Tenchi. One thing is for sure- Sasami loves to cook! In each Tenchi series, Sasami ends up taking care of virtually all the chores around the Masaki household- especially cooking. The other members of the house all anxiously await the next Sasami masterpiece. Sasami enjoys her time away from the responsibilities of the court of Jurai. She spends whatever free time she can with Ryo-oki, with whom she has a very strong bond. She is both her pet and her best friend. In Tenchi in Tokyo, Ryo-oki can turn into a giant robo-bunny of sorts, into which Sasami climbs and pilots much like a Gundam. Don't ask... Sasami is the most responsible member of the Masaki household, even though she is also the youngest. She harbors a small crush on Tenchi, who looks on her as a little sister.

Ryoko Ryoko is a Space pirate who, depending on which Tenchi series you're watching, was either imprisoned by one of Tenchi's ancestors or who crash landed on Earth while trying to escape the wrath of Princess Ayeka and the Galaxy Police. They want her to pay for her various crimes as a pirate, which include robbery and assault, among other thingsAlso depending on which Tenchi series you're watching, she was either created by the mad scientist Washu, or was a partner of Washu's . whatever. Ryoko is 700 or so, but appears young and beautiful, and is definitely passionate about Tenchi- she's in love with him, and she'll do anything for him. However, her impetuous and conniving ways often get in the way of their relationship- but Tenchi knows that Ryoko cares for him, and he doesn't get too angry with her. Very often. Well, sometimesyou'll see.

Mihoshi Mihoshi is a bubble-brained officer in the Galaxy Police Force. It is still hard to believe that Mihoshi has achieved the level of Officer First Class, even knowing that her grandfather is the Grand Marshall of the Galaxy Police. Mihoshi is always bumbling and stumbling into danger, creating a world of trouble for her levelheaded partner Kiyone. Fortunately, Kiyone is mostly able to keep Mihoshi under control. When Kiyone is not around, however, only Mihoshi's simple dumb luck prevents disaster. Mihoshi is cheerful, bouncy and loves eating and napping. You'd never know she was one of the most dangerous people in the universe.

Washu Would you guess by looking at her that Washu is 20,000 years old? Possibly even older? It's true. One of the oldest beings in the universe, Washu is also one of the smartest. In fact, Washu a super genius and maverick inventor who is obsessed with learning, creating new devices and making new discoveries. Washu has built energy weapons and even mastered inter-dimensional travel. The pink-haired scientist can become so focused on her work that sometimes she ends up viewing life as one big technical experiment. In Tenchi Muyo, Washu is Ryoko's mother and treats her just like a child.

Kiyone Kiyone is only on Tenchi Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo. She is also one of the most unluckiest characters in both series. Mainly because of Mihoshi. Kiyone and Mihoshi are partners at the Galaxy Police. Kiyone is always trying to get a better job at the station, but Mihoshi doesn't want to leave Tenchi and the others. Mihoshi usually gets her way. Not by her own choice, but because of the mistakes she makes. Kiyone is the one to get in trouble for Mihoshi's "accidents". Kiyone knows Mihoshi better than anyone else, which isn't always and good thing. When she is ever in trouble, she has two weapons to back her up. She has an official Galaxy Police hand gun and a Galaxy Police yo-yo. Yes, a yo-yo.

This is Ryo-oki and Ken-oki. They are cabbits, half cat, half rabbit. Ryo-oki is the brown one and she belongs to Ryoko although she spends most of her time with Sasami. Ryo-oki turns into Ryoko's ship. Ken-oki is the tan one, and he belongs to Ryoko's enemy, the bounty hunter Nagi. Even though their owners are enemys, these two cabbits are in love! ^_^! |
