Tenchi in Tokyo
TV Series Characters

Sakuya Kumashiro Sakuya Kumashiro
熊代佐久耶
Sakuya is, at first appearances, one of the few normal, human girls to appear in the Tenchi series. When Tenchi is in Tokyo, they meet and almost instantly fall for each other. She is a pretty forceful character, as she is the one that makes all the moves towards Tenchi. However, matters are never that simple for Tenchi, and towards the end of the series, we begin to learn about Sakuya's true nature.
Japanese Voice: Mayumi Iizuka
English Voice: Julie Maddalena

Yugi Yugi
alternative spelling: Yuugi
幽戯
As Tenchi begins his new life in Tokyo, he is unaware that his every move is being watched by a mysterious character living in a fortress of crystal. This is Yugi, a being capable of summoning many demons to do her will, and for some reason she is extremely interested in Tenchi. She also has some connection with Sakuya Kumashiro, a secret that is not revealed until the concluding episodes of the TV series.
Japanese Voice: Akiko Yajima
English Voice: Debi Derryberry

Hotsuma, Matori and Tsugaru

Hotsuma, Matori & Tsugaru
秀眞 真鳥 東日流

Amongst the demonic servants that Yugi conjures up to carry out her plans are three humanoid assistants; Hotsuma, Matori and Tsugaru. Hotsuma is a tall and handsome man, who first tricks Tenchi and Sakuya into entering his cursed mansion house, then later lures Ryoko away from Earth. Matori is a woman with stripes across her face. She specialises in creating demons from inanimate objects, including a huge construction worker to build Yugi a castle, and an evil clone of Tenchi's father. Tsugaru, a somewhat androgynous character (although portrayed as a man in the English dub), is adept at manipulating others. He first traps Sasami in a mirror world, and later aids in splitting up the Masaki family.

Japanese Voices: Hotsuma - Wataru Takagi
Matori - Yuriko Yamaguchi
Tsugaru - Masamichi Ohta
English Voices: Hotsuma - Matt K. Miller
Matori - Julie Maddalena
Tsugaru - Richard Cansino

Kazuhiko Amagasaki

 

Kazuhiko Amagasaki
尼ヶ崎 和彦

Kazuhiko Amagasaki, whose only previous appearance was a few seconds in the first Tenchi Muyo OVA episode, returns in a more prominent role in Tenchi in Tokyo. One of Tenchi's new classmates at his school in Tokyo, he, Tenchi and Umanosuke Tsuchida soon become friends.
Japanese Voice: Toshiharu Sakurai
English Voice: Micheal Sorich

Umanosuke Tsuchida

 

Umanosuke Tsuchida
土田馬之介

Another of Tenchi's classmates at his new school in Tokyo. Umanosuke Tsuchida is the grandson of Dokuzen Tsuchida, the Shinto priest with whom Tenchi is apprenticing. He, Tenchi and Amagasaki often hang out together, and like Amagasaki, he loves pro-wrestling, even trying out the latest moves on poor Tenchi!
Japanese Voice: Toshiharu Sakurai
English Voice: Mark Tracy

Dokuzen Tsuchida Dokuzen Tsuchida
土田独善

Priest of the Tsuchida Shinto shrine in Tokyo, Dokuzen Tsuchida is Tenchi's master and tutor in the ways of shrine-keeping. An old friend of Tenchi's grandfather, his ancestors helped establish the Masaki shrine in Okayama. He is good-humoured and friendly, but often gets to Tenchi to do his work for him!
Japanese Voice: Ken'ichi Ogata
English Voice: Bob Papenbrook

Sugano, Yoshinaga and Matsuno

 

Sugano, Yoshinaga & Matsuno
菅野 吉永 松野

Sugano, Yoshinaga and Matsuno (in the image on the right, running respectively from top to bottom) are Sakuya's friends, and they regularly hang around together both in and out of school. All of them are typical high-school students, and can often be found discussing the kind of boys they like, or finding a way of encouraging Tenchi and Sakuya to confess their love for each other.
Japanese Voices: Sugano - Manabi Mizuno
Yoshinaga - Yukari Tamura
Matsuno - Hisoka Moriya
English Voices: Sugano - Sherry Lynn
Yoshinaga - Wendee Lee
Matsuno - Rebecca Forstadt

Mr. Fujisawa Mr. Fujisawa
藤沢

One of the teachers at Tenchi's school in Tokyo is this stubble-chinned fellow. Although not referred to by name in the series, he bears a very close resemblance to the history teacher Mr. Fujisawa in another AIC series, El Hazard.
Japanese Voice: Kôji Îshi
English Voice: Eddie Frierson

Ine Suzuki Ine Suzuki (The Love Knot Goddess)
鈴木イネ

Appearing in episode 2 of Tenchi in Tokyo, this oddball character appears when Sakuya prays at the love knot shrine near Tenchi's apartment. This rather batty old lady does everything in her power to force Tenchi and Sakuya together so she can tie their fingers together with a red thread of fate, but doesn't reckon on Ayeka and Ryoko's interference.
Japanese Voice: Satoko Kifuji
English Voice: Jennifer Darling

Yoshiaki Zumino Yoshiaki Zumino
ズミノ・ヨシアキ

Appearing in episode 3, this big purple demon is summoned by Yugi from a mobile telephone. As the "spirit of cellular phones and other cordless devices", Zumino is hell-bent on destroying long-distance relationships by blocking and scrambling all long-distance communications, meaning that the girls can no longer spy on Tenchi while he is in Tokyo!
Japanese Voice: Wataru Takagi
English Voice: Richard Cansino

Daidarahoshi Daidarahoshi
alternative spelling: Daidarahoushi

大駄羅法師
The first demon created by Yugi's servant Matori is this enormous construction worker, Daidara Hoshi, for the purpose of building Yugi a castle in Tokyo. Matori dupes Ryoko, Ayeka, Mihoshi and Kiyone into helping build it by promising them a million yen (which of course, she doesn't pay). It seems almost invincible, but Mihoshi's bungling during its construction leaves it with a convenient weak-spot.
Japanese Voice: Toshiharu Sakurai
English Voice: Micheal Sorich

Yu-Ohki

 

Yu-Ohki
alternative spellings: Yuu-Ohki, Yuu-ou-ki
雄皇鬼
Another cabbit who puts in an appearance in episode 11, Yu-Ohki is created by Yugi to keep Ryo-ohki away from Earth, forcing the others to set out on a mission to the moon to get her back. However, Yu-Ohki is waiting for them, and is capable of much worse than giving them a nasty bite...
Japanese Voice: Toshiharu Sakurai
English Voice: ?

Isao Ketauchi and Masayo Manuketa Isao Ketauchi & Masayo Manuketa
ケタウチ・イサオ マヌケタ・マサヨ
When Ayeka decides to hitchhike her way to Tokyo to see Tenchi, she manages to get a lift from Masayo Manuketa, a leather-clad biker girl with an impossibly fast pair of wheels. However, when Ayeka discovers that Masayo is in pursuit of Isao, the only man faster than herself, the princess decides to sacrifice her own chance at happiness to help Masayo finally catch her beloved Isao.
Japanese Voices: Isao - Takehiro Murozono
Masayo - Shinobu Adachi
English Voices: Masayo - Lara Cody

Ikarinu Sadako

Ikarinu Sadako
イカリーヌ定子
Summoned by Yugi from a discarded wrestling mask, Ikarinu Sadako is a legendary female pro-wrestler who is charged with the mission of keeping anyone from interfering with Tenchi and Sakuya's burgeoning relationship. The luckless Amagasaki gets thrown repeatedly across campus by the wrestler when he approaches Tenchi, but finally gets to face Sadako in the ring.

This character may be based (in name at least) on Ikari Sadako, Japan's first high-profile female pro-wrestler who was famous during the late 1940's and early 1950's.

Japanese Voice: Mizue Ôtsuka
English Voice: Brianne Sidall

Bent Cougar

Bent Cougar
ベントクーガー

This class-A wanted criminal has the misfortune of getting in Kiyone's way when she is on her latest drive for promotion in episode 18. After Mihoshi and Kiyone catch his ship in their tractor beam, they accidentally crash, burning up in Earth's atmosphere and leaving them all a little scorched!

Japanese Voice: Takehiro Murozono
English Voice: Richard Cansino

Empress Hinase Empress Hinase
樋拿畝

Hinase was empress of Jurai 3,500 years ago. During the 27th year of her reign, the planet was attacked by Yugi, an experimental mutant child with incredible powers. Only empress Hinase possessed the strength to overpower and imprison Yugi.
Japanese Voice: Yuriko Yamaguchi
English Voice: Brianne Sidall
