The main hero of the franchise, who is always presented as an ordinary high school student that ends up surrounded by women lusting after him as he struggles through various hijinks, and doesn't usually have much personality beyond that apart from being a nice guy, being the reason as to why he's such a [[Chick Magnet]]. |

Latest revision as of 21:56, 17 March 2024
Some or all of these characters need descriptions. A list of tropes is not a description. Please provide at least a few words telling how these characters differ from other characters with the same tropelists. |
This page is under construction Please be patient, or help with the work. |
This is a character sheet for the Tenchi Muyo! series:
The Main Characters
Tenchi Masaki Jurai
- Voice Actors: Masami Kikuchi (Japanese), Matt K. Miller (English)
The main hero of the franchise, who is always presented as an ordinary high school student that ends up surrounded by women lusting after him as he struggles through various hijinks, and doesn't usually have much personality beyond that apart from being a nice guy, being the reason as to why he's such a Chick Magnet.
- Armor-Piercing Slap: Tenchi did this to Ryoko in Daughter of Darkness, and to Yugi in the final episode of Tenchi in Tokyo
- Author Avatar: Tenchi Masaki and Masaki Kajishima. It gets more obvious when you learn that the OVA is partly a showcase of Kajishima's personal harem fantasies. And the fact that the character essentially becomes stronger than the Chousin who created the universe is a strong hint too.
- Bad Liar: Sakuya calls him this in episode 10 of Tenchi in Tokyo, when he went on a date with Ryoko instead of her:
Sakuya: I knew you'd be a terrible liar, Masaki. |
- Beware the Nice Ones: He rarely gets angry, but when he does...
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He's an average student with average grades as well as a being stronger than the Universe's GODS!!!
- Brainwashed: Happens to him in an episode of Tenchi in Tokyo
- Deadpan Snarker: He has his moments, and when he does his wit has some of the sharpest barbs in the series.
- Facial Markings: In his Juraian armor.
- Flat Character: In most continuities, Tenchi just seems to exist as a plot device to keep the girls together and beat the enemy with awesome power. It's not really his fault as we rarely get to see things from his perspective because once the female characters show up their competition for him pretty much takes over the spotlight until it's time for him to come in and save the day. Other than those moments he is a Butt Monkey who is Genre Savvy about being a Flat Character, "Tenchi Muyo!" roughly means "No Need For Tenchi!" much to his chagrin. This is a bit more mitigated in Tenchi in Tokyo where he has a bit more of a personality, as well as Tenchi Universe.
- Harem Hero
- I Just Want to Be Normal: In Tenchi in Tokyo, where he moves away from his Unwanted Harem so he can have a peaceful life away from them. Naturally, this doesn't help, and not just because of them stalking him.
- Missing Mom: Kiyone (not to be confused with Kiyone Makibi) in the OAV continuity, Achika in the Universe and Tokyo continuities.
- Nice Guy: Most of the time.
- Story-Breaker Power: As demonstrated by Z, not only can Tenchi create the Light Hawk Wings, he can collapse whole dimensions solely by existing. Not to mention he's stronger than the three beings who created the Multiverse. So long, story conflict....
- Strong as He Needs to Be: His power is confirmed by Z to work exactly like this. This applies to each Alternate Continuity as well in a meta sort of way for viewers who were around during Tenchi's run on Toonami.
- The Omnipotent
- Took a Level in Badass: In the second OVA and the Tokyo series, Tenchi grows somewhat more assertive in his personality and isn't as afraid to give the girls hell (especially Ryoko) when he feels they've crossed a line.
- Unlucky Everydude
Ryoko
- Voice Actors: Ai Orikasa (Japanese), Petrea Burchard (English; 1st), Mona Marshall (English; 2nd)
An aggressive Space Pirate (who often doesn't do much of anything pirate related) and flirt that is usually the first girl Tenchi meets. Is by for the most flirtatious of the girls and most the most hotheaded.
Is the most popular girl with Western audiences.
- Action Girl: Largely in the 'Universe' and 'Tokyo' series.
- She's that in the OVAs too, but by the end of the second series she's largely out of her league, so she barely bothers anymore.
- Anti-Hero: Type V
- Blood Knight: Originally, and still loves to blow things up or get a good scrap. She tended to put in severe PowerLimiters, so anybody whatsoever could pose any challenge.
- Brainwashed and Crazy; by Kagato.
- Bottle Fairy: Expect to see her with a bottle of sake.
- Frothy Mugs of Water: In the Toonami-edited version, Ryoko's sake becomes "tea".
- Cry Cute: In the OVA, also sheds Manly Tears, Tender Tears, and Ocular Gushers. Come to think of it, she cries a lot, especially for an uber-Badass Space Pirate Physical God(dess). Then again, considering the nature of her mother (see Washuu's Abusive Mom entry below), the fact that she was locked in a tomb for 700 years, and spent a good amount of time before that as a psychotic killing machine massacring millions if not billions for Kagato, her options were probably either tears or Stepford Smiler. Probably both.
- Damsel in Distress: In the first two OVAs, by Kagato and Dr. Clay, and in the SNES game.
- Subverted in the first episode of the Universe canon, where she just plays the part in order to get Tenchi and his folks on her side.
- Double Entendre: In the second OAV:
Ryoko: Now, I want your balls, please! |
- Exotic Eye Designs: He gets catlike eyes when he transforms into one.
- Facial Markings: While wearing her battlesuit.
- Femme Fatale: In the first few OVA episodes, before the audience learns where her affections lie.
- Iron Butt Monkey
- Jerkass: Generally, but Washuu, and mainly the merger with Zero, rehabilitated her remarkably quickly, so Jerk with a Heart of Gold when we last see her.
- The Ladette
- Lethal Chef: Her first attempt at cooking created some kind of acidic pink froth that dissolved the stove - out of what appeared to be the ingredients for vegetable soup. Later incidents tone it down, but her cooking (which involved incidents like frying fish by hurling energy bolts at them) still gets divided between the things that turn out wrong and the things that nobody gets to try.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: She can basically do anything within scale limits, including constructing extremely advanced inventions of her mother's design out of thin air.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Lovesick, half-android, hyperintelligent, immortal demi-goddess, alien, drunkard layabout, bratty reformed space-pirate, child-soldier slave. To be honest, in-universe descriptions of her get very inclusive and vague. The Space and Time adventures make this even worse by selectively including and excluding various traits and associated names to suit whichever 'dimension' the characters are currently in.
- The Other Darrin: Mona Marshall replaced Petrea Burchard as Ryoko's new dubbed voice. Fans were less than pleased.
- Physical Goddess
- Pirate Girl
- Psychopathic Manchild: Originally, but she didn't have much of a choice, paid enormously for her crimes, and is much nicer nowadays, really. Just a trickster troll, but don't attack her, or threaten anybody she cares about.
- Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male: Exaggeration, but her constant clinging to Tenchi often borders on sexual harassment.
- In the Mihoshi Special (a Tall Tale story Mihoshi told based on one of her cases, with the Tenchi-crew filling the closest roles of the participants), "Ryoko" ties Tenchi to her bed, proceeds to undress him, and was about to rape him, but she was stopped by Pretty Sammy. This is somewhat averted though, although her sexual advances are Played for Laughs most of the other characters are not okay with them.
- Reality Warper[context?]
- Sensual Spandex/Leotard of Power: Ryoko's black and red battle outfit.
- Space Pirate
- Super-Powered Evil Side: In Tenchi In Tokyo.
- Technopath
- Troll: She so loves riling up Ayeka and messing with Tenchi's head.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: She became one with Zero, and could freely manipulate her body in extremely advanced fashions even before this, including duplication, phasing, regeneration, merging with inanimate matter, and so on.
- You Gotta Have Cyan Hair
Ayeka Masaki Jurai
- Voice Actors: Yumi Takada (Japanese), Jennifer Darling (English)
Princess of Jurai that has fierce rivalry with Ryoko over Tenchi, among other things.
- Barrier Warrior
- Berserk Button: She hates being called an old maid. But more than that, Ryoko always brings out the worst in her.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: In Tenchi Universe she can border on this. In the OAV she is simply a case of The Fettered. Almost manically attempting to manage a genetically very bad temper through excessive politeness.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: In the manga.
- Brother-Sister Incest: Though this is customary to Juraians, in her defense.
- Demoted to Extra: In the OVA 3.
- Damsel in Distress: Three times in the manga. Once by Yakage, another by Yataka and once again by Garyu. In the series proper, she was kidnapped by Kagato in Tenchi Universe.
- Everything's Better with Princesses
- Facial Markings: In her Juraian battle armor.
- Noblewoman's Laugh: In the Japanese version.
- Onee-Sama: To Sasami.
- Sparkling Stream of Tears: In the final episode of Tenchi Universe.
- Spell My Name with an "S": Either "Ayeka" or "Aeka" (her original Japanese name) are acceptable.
- Spoiled Brat: Though not as much as some fanworks exaggerate her as.
- The Ojou
- The Unfavorite: In the OVA continuity. It's not that bad, actually, but it's still Sasami who is Seto's darling.
- Whip It Good: In her Image Song, "Call Me Princess!"
- The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask: Especially in Tenchi Universe, where she shows genuine insecurities about her place and her duty within the Juraian royal family and considers herself as a mere puppet of them. Also see The Unfavorite.
- You Gotta Have Purple Hair
- In OVAs supplements it's mentioned that she originally had the same blue Kamiki hair as Misaki and Sasami, but dyed it to look more like Yosho's mother Funaho as an attempt to get closer to him.
Sasami Masaki Jurai
- Voice Actors: Chisa Yokoyama (Japanese), Sherry Lynn (English)
Ayeka's younger sister, who despite being the youngest girl is generally the most mature. Is always close friends with Ryo-Ohki.
- Apotheosis: In the Backstory of Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (but not any other version of the story), the Juraian goddess Tsunami merged with Princess Sasami when the girl was critically injured in a fall; the result is a fusion where Sasami is the dominant personality, and will eventually become Tsunami when she grows up.
- Beware the Nice Ones: As a GP Agent finds out the hard way.
- Bratty Half-Pint: Mostly Flanderized away as time passes.
- Breakout Character: As the OVAs became a set of anime series, her importance grew and grew until she became the main focus in Tenchi in Tokyo alongside Tenchi himself, don't get me start on the Pretty Sammy series where's she's the main character.
- Cheerful Child
- Cute Bruiser
- Dreaming of Things to Come
- Bad Dreams: Because of Tsunami's influence on her
- God Was My Co-Pilot
- Morality Pet: For the Big Bad in Tenchi in Tokyo.
- Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Sasami is the official Trope Namer.
- Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Slightly.
- Talking to Herself: With Tsunami in both the Japanese and English versions.
- Also a bit of a meta-example, not only for fitting the trope itself but for fitting its title literally thanks to Sasami and Tsunami's fusion link.
- Team Chef
- That Girl Is Dead: She believes so in the OAV, since as a little girl she took an almost fatal fall and Tsunami had to fuse with her. Actually, she *did* survive but barely.
- Third Person Person: In the Japanese version.
- Token Loli
- Wise Beyond Their Years
- Yamato Nadeshiko
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair
Mihoshi Kuramitsu
- Voice Actors: Yuko Mizutani (Japanese), Ellen Gerstell (English; 1st), Rebecca Forstadt (English; 2nd)
An extremely clumsy and idiotic police officer that tends to end up on chasing Ryoko. She is extremely stupid and has numerous runninggags revealing around he airheaded nature and clumsiness.
- Ambiguous Disorder: She takes ditziness and awkwardness to unprecedented new heights.
- Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Played as a running gag in the manga and PC-FX games, as Mihoshi's addiction to soap operas made her mistake some of Tenchi's actions as if he wanted to elope with her or just rape her. The catch? Mihoshi was more than happy with the idea, much for Tenchi's puzzlement.
- Blue Eyes
- Born Lucky: And how! The laws of nature and causality bend around her to such an extreme that even higher-dimensional entities can't predict or do anything about her.
- The manga dedicates a full chapter to try to explain Mihoshi's weird ability to set any probability to her favor and benefit even from accidents and blunders.
- Bottle Fairy: In the OAV and manga, especially during the trip to Ryuten.
- Cloudcuckoolander
- Cute Clumsy Girl
- Dark-Skinned Blond
- Dumb Blonde: In some continuities. In the OAV she's more of a Genius Ditz.
- Fair Cop
- The Fool
- Friend to All Living Things: The genuinely kindest cast member.
- Fun Personified
- Genius Ditz: or The Ditz, depending on the series.
- Genki Girl
- Heavy Sleeper
- Hey, It's That Voice!/The Other Darrin: Rebecca Forstadt (AKA Lynn Minmei) voiced her from Tenchi in Tokyo onwards.
- Hyper Awareness
- Imagine Spot: In the manga, they tend to involve some very lewd fantasies with Tenchi, which leave Mihoshi blushing and drooling, much for everyone's confusion.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Played straight on the PC-FX and Sega Saturn videogames, where Mihoshi's clothes tend to be much more revealing and she displays little or just not concern whenever Tenchi catches her half undressed. This is especially noticeable during the hot spring scenes, where Mihoshi doesn't even bother to cover herself with a towel whenever Tenchi enters into the bath, and is cranked up to eleven on the Sega Saturn game, where Mihoshi spends a considerable amount of time and cutscenes completely nude, without thinking twice about it.
- The Millstone: Especially in Tenchi Universe.
- Nice Girl
- Romantic Two-Girl Friendship: Mihoshi seems strangely attached to Kiyone, and even Kiyone has her moments, especially in episode 6 of the Universe series.
- Satellite Character: In the Universe and Tokyo continuities, Mihoshi's whole purpose seems to revolve around hanging off Kiyone. Kiyone herself may fit to a lesser degree.
- Tangled Family Tree: Is Washuu's great-great-granddaughter, and Ryoko's great-grandniece. Allegedly (might just be a rumour) also supposed to have a relative who married one of Tenchi's family members at some point.
- Took a Level In Dumbass: In the OVA 1 she went from a ditzy but focused officer to a lazy fool that couldn't remember her own brother's name by the end of OVA 3.
- It was less that she couldn't remember his name and more that apparently her image of him is stuck on his teenaged self. He had to show a picture of him when he was younger for her to recognize him, but she recognizes other people from his crew with whom she has only occasionally interacted quite easily. Her backstory suggests her overall goofiness came about when a past Did You Just Romance Cthulhu? relationship went Horribly Wrong and she only survived with this much of her mind intact because she's Washu's descendant and has the luck to make a leprechaun jealous.
Washu Hakubi
- Voice Actors: Yuko Kobayashi (Japanese), Kate T. Vogt (English)
A mad scientist with various origins throughout the franchise. Is fairly childish and prone to fights with Ryoko, though not as much as Ayeka. Her inventions defy laws of physics and can often serve as plot points due his irresponsibility or deus ex machina.
- Abusive Mom: In the OVA (where she created Ryoko), she once straps Ryoko into an apparently escape-proof lab-table, turns off the lights and then runs off and hides. Ryoko is so afraid of being trapped alone in the dark that she starts crying and pleading for Washu to come back and rescue her. Washu is not only well aware of how badly this scares Ryoko, but is actually just around the corner, gleefully taping Ryoko's cries for "mommy".
- Animal Motifs: Washu really likes crabs.
- Brick Joke: When dealing with Dr. Clay and Zero.
Zero (disguised as Ryoko): If I take you to Dr. Clay, then I won't have to kill Tenchi! |
- Later, when evading Dr. Clay's Combat Tentacles trap in exactly the same way...
Washuu: I even remembered the ribbon! |
- Broken Bird
- Compressed Hair: How does she get all that pink hair under that little green cap in episode 12, anyway?
- Cute Bruiser: Even in her child form, she's capable of lifting a heavy chair and punching through solid concrete. In the manga, she even suplexes her Evil Counterpart. Would count as a Genius Bruiser if she was more muscular. But then again, Muscles Are Meaningless when you've got the power to shape the universe.
- Demoted to Extra: Had a diminished role in both the Tenchi Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo series, to the point where she barely had an impact in the second half of both shows until their respective finales.
- God Was My Co-Pilot
- Green Eyes
- Immortal Immaturity: For all of her criticism of Ryoko, it's clear on occasion that Washu's just as lacking in the maturity department if not more so--and not just because of her youthful disguise.
- Insistent Terminology: "No! I'm not gonna help you unless you call me Little Washu!" (Washu-Chan in the Japanese version).
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Occasionally bordering on Jerkass, but she is mostly a nice and caring, if very quirky, person.
- Mad Scientist: Especially in Tenchi Universe, where it's taken to new levels.
- Moment Killer: In the final episode of Tenchi in Tokyo. Ryoko strangles her for ruining her moment.
- Naughty Nurse Outfit: In OAV 7 for her... experiments on Tenchi. And then Mihoshi walks in the lab...
- Omnidisciplinary Scientist: By her own words, she's created things from Ryoko to Souja, so she has a grasp of everything from genetics to engineering. She's also good at medicine if the infamous "Nurse Washu" scene is any indication.
- The Omnipotent
- Rape Is OK When It Is Female On Male: See OAV 7.
- Rose-Haired Girl: Depending on the official artwork, her hair ranges from light pink to dark pink.
- She's All Grown Up: Looks like an early-teen girl, but has an adult form that is breathtakingly beautiful. And her Goddess, which is essentially her adult form with a Pimped-Out Dress, fits what you'd expect from a Physical God(ess).
- Shout-Out: Every once in a while, especially when she's trying to wheedle something out of someone, English-dub Washu copies Shirley Temple's distinctive "pouty" voice.
- Super Intelligence
- Truly Single Parent: Of Ryoko, whom she created using one of her eggs and the Mass, a sentient alien species.
Ryo-Ohki
- Voice Actors: Etsuko Kozakura (Japanese), Debi Derryberry (English)
A rabbit like alien with a cat's head and ears as long as her body that makes cat noises. As such fans refer to her as a cabbit. She is close friends with Sasami and eats nothing but carrots, and transforms into a space ship.
- Animal of Mass Destruction: Her ship form is often depicted as this.
- Big Eater: Tenchi often has a whole garden of carrots just so Ryo-Ohki can eat them.
- Dating Catwoman: In Tenchi Universe she falls in love with Ken-Ohki, which belongs to Nagi aka Ryoko's rival
- Cute Kitten and Bunnies
- Head Pet
- Living Ship
- Mix-and-Match Critters: Which is what Ryo-Ohki (as well as Fuku and Ken-Ohki) are. Specifically, rabbits and cats (dubbed "cabbits").
- Only One Name
- Ridiculously Cute Critter
- Series Mascot
- Trademark Favorite Food: Carrots.
- Transforming Mecha: In Tenchi in Tokyo, Ryo-Ohki can transform into a pink Cabbit mecha, who can move autonomously, or is piloted by Sasami.
Supporting Cast
Katsuhito Masaki/Yosho Masaki Jurai
- Voice Actors: Takeshi Aono (Japanese; Katsuhito) Takehito Koyasu (Japanese/Yosho)
A description of the character goes here.
- Badass Grandpa: Literally, depending on the continuity, anyway.
- Covert Pervert: he once copped a feel of Ryoko and quite enjoyed it...
- He also proposed that he and Ayeka get married anyway despite being an old man at the time not really.
- Momma's Boy: Unusually strongly attached to Funaho, which even gets lampshaded in-universe.
- Obfuscating Stupidity
- Retired Badass: Not entirely by his own decision, though. Funaho (his tree, not his mother, mind you) apparently took root, and thus he cannot leave Earth anymore, because Juraian royalty is immortal only in the range of their trees. In the Universe version, it's because of the guilt of killing his best friend, Kagato.
- Takeshi Aono
- Team Dad
Nobuyuki Masaki
A description of the character goes here.
- Bumbling Dad
- Dirty Old Man: Less so in some versions.
- I Was Quite a Looker: Was a cute Megane when young.
- Older Than They Look: OAV continuity-only, where he's pushing 300.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Subverted. He marries into the Masaki family (Achika/Kiyone was Katsuhito's only child) and took the surname so it wouldn't be extinguished, but he looks remarkably like his father-in-law. Katsuhito lampshades it in Tenchi Universe by saying no one would've guessed that Nobuyuki isn't related to him.
- Justified in the OVA continuity where, though he married into the Masaki family, he was the descendant of the wife Katsuhito married and then buried before marrying Airi. In other words, he is also a grandson/great-grandson of Katsuhito.
- Talking to Himself: Takeshi Aono also plays Yosho.
- Toshiyuki Morikawa: As a youngster, in The Movie.
- Team Mom: Mostly in Tenchi Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo.

A description of the character goes here.
- Action Girl: Called the best fighter of the Choushin by her sisters themselves.
- Blue and Orange Morality: As a Chousin, she knows nothing about what is good and what is evil.
- Jerkass Gods: Heavily implied to be one of these by the end of OAV 2. By the end of OAV 3, not so much. She honestly didn't expect that ruining a guy's life and giving him phenomenal cosmic power could backfire horribly. She wasn't evil, just terribly naive.
- The Omnipotent

- Super-Deformed: Her appearance after she moves in with Tenchi.

- Curtains Match the Window

- The Not Love Interest: Notable in that she's one of the few female characters who is exceptionally close to Tenchi without ever becoming infatuated with him, which gives the two of them a special relationship sometimes bordering on Platonic Life Partners.
- Tsundere
- You Gotta Have Teal Hair
Nagi (Tenchi Universe)

- Voice Actors: Mayumi Iizuka (Japanese), Julie Maddalena (English)
A all round normal girl Tenchi's age that has no crazy personality traits that befriends Tenchi after he moves to Tokyo, so naturally he ends falling for her and she serves as his love interest for the series. Late in the series it's revealed that she was created by Yugi as an ideal girlfriend for Tenchi to drive a wedge between him and the other characters so they will leave and take the crystals that can stop her that they have with them.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Develops some traits of this, since she was created solely to love Tenchi.
- Damsel in Distress: Not necessarily her fault, since she's the only one in the Unwanted Harem without powers, weapons, or superpowered mascots.
- Dying Moment of Awesome
- Green Eyes
- Heroic BSOD: Sakuya has one when she realizes that she has no memories of any family of her own.
- Heroic Sacrifice: When Yugi locks Tenchi in a Lotus Eater Machine with Sakuya as a bait, she ultimately chooses to sacrifice the last bits of her existence and willpower to give Tenchi a Rousing Speech and send him back to reality so he can reunite with the girls and defeat Yugi. Easily her Crowning Moment of Awesome.

A description of the character goes here.

- Kid From the Future: She shows up out of the blue one day calling Tenchi "Daddy" and forming a Laser Sword like Ryoko's, although she never explains any details, and Washu can't find the mother from her DNA. Subverted -- she was created by Yuzuha, with no actual time travel involved.
- Laser Guided Tykebomb
- Only One Name
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair
Noike Kamiki Jurai (OAV 3)
A description of the character goes here.
- Arranged Marriage: Was told to be only a cover-up, but extra omake material has indeed confirmed the engagement as real.
- Berserk Button: Several things made by Mihoshi.
- Fair Cop
- Last Girl Wins: Politcally speaking, Noike is the last girl introduced to the Harem, and the first to actually be get engaged by Tenchi. Luckily for the other girls, Jurai standards will allow them to STILL be with Tenchi, and even marry him as well when they are ready in the future.

- Only One Name
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Devoted to Yakage and his memory, even after he's dead.
Kiyone Masaki (OVA 3)
A description of the character goes here.
- Action Mom: She did a lot of things according to the story she left for Tenchi. However it seems most of it was made up.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Mom: When your mother creates an elaborate practical joke concerning her death and wills her relatives to read it aloud to you, she probably qualifies as this.
- Broken Pedestal: Tenchi was dissappointed when he found out his mother's true nature.
- Cloudcuckoolander: A suprising twist on the character.
- Identical Daughter: She looks exactly like Airi with white hair, and apparently inherits her mother sense of humor as well: her practical joke about her death involved both Airi and Tennyo. And Rhea too, apparently.
- Older Than They Look: Standard fare for Tenchi characters. She died of old age at over 200, though apparently she still had the appearance of a young woman, for some reason.
- She had some problems with her tree, apparently, and without it even the Juraian nanotech treatments can get only that effective.
- Unlike her father and sister, Kiyone didn't become bonded to a royal tree and may not have visited Jurai at all (considering Yosho was still considered MIA).
- She had some problems with her tree, apparently, and without it even the Juraian nanotech treatments can get only that effective.
- White-Haired Pretty Girl
Misaki Masaki Jurai (OVA and Manga)
A description of the character goes here.
- Action Girl: She's the chief of Emperor's bodyguards, after all, and invariably snatches all martial arts championships which she can be bothered to enter.
- Action Girlfriend: To Azusa.
- Action Mom: Natch.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Mom: More in Ayeka's POV than Sasami's, at least in the beginning.
- Berserk Button: Don't insult Ayeka or Sasami in front her.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Apparently thinks that her fling with Yosho (in the novels) is something absolutely normal. Her mother and husband emphatically disagree.
- And there's the fact that when she first sees Ryoko in the OVA, she mistakes her for Sasami. Repeat, she mistakes a well-known criminal for her kid daughter.
- God Was My Co-Pilot:Or something in the same genre.
- Hot Mom
- Mama Bear
- Yoshiko Sakakibara

- The Emperor
- Papa Wolf
- Tenchi Solution: Married both Misaki and Funaho.
Tennyo Masaki (OVA 3)
A description of the character goes here.
- Cool Big Sis
- Flat Character: Doesn't get much characterization, as she appears only by the end of the third OVA, and doesn't get much exposure in the novels and doujinshis as well.
- Identical Grandson: Looks exactly like her mom. Who looks exactly like Airi with white hair.
- Really Seven Hundred Years Old: She's 80 years old.
- White-Haired Pretty Girl
Seto Kamiki Jurai (OVA 3)
A description of the character goes here.

- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Was found lost and amnesiac in space, and was adopted into the Kamiki family.
- Manipulative Bitch: Largely for the lulz
- The Matchmaker: Her main hobby.
- One-Woman Army: Just see what she's done with the pirates in GXP...
- Satellite Character: For all her importance in-story, she appears in the OVA only as a cameo and gets a bigger role only in the spinoffs.
- Sobriquet / Names to Run From Really Fast: Jurai no Onihime, or Devil Princess of Jurai.
- Supreme Chef
- The Woman Behind The Man: It's her who is a true mover and shaker of the Juraian Empire.
Rhea Masaki (OVA 3)
A description of the character goes here.
- Girl Next Door
- Parental Substitute: To Tenchi after Kiyone died.
- Remember the New Guy?
- Wicked Stepmother: Averted with the extreme prejudice. She was so nice that Tenchi's memories of his mother actually latched to her rather than his real Cloudcuckoolander mom. And when Nobuyuki really got around to marrying her, Tenchi was already all grown up anyway.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: With flying colors.
Hiwa Takahashi (Manga)

Villains
OVA Villains
Kagato (OAV 1 and Tenchi Universe)
- Voice Actors: Norio Wakamoto (Japanese), Michael Scott Ryan (English)
A description of the character goes here.
- Animal Motifs: It's more subtile than in Washu's or Clay's case, but OVA Kagato has a theme of snakes going on in his ship and even in his style of hair. The person whom he was based on, Naja, has a snake theme in her name.
- Badass: Both versions, but only the OVA version is a
- Blood Knight: The Universe version is more interested in fighting Tenchi than conquering anything close to a universe.
- Cain and Abel: With Yosho, in Tenchi Universe.
- Complete Monster: The OVA version.
- Evil Is Stylish: Meticulously stylised to the last fingerglove, with the cape just right for dramatic flair, and appropriate organ music to set the tone. In fact, according to Word of God this part was a deliberate parody.
- Evilly Affable
- Genius Bruiser: He's a super genius to be sure, but he's also a very powerful combatant in his own right.
- Graceful Loser: Though moreso in the OVA.
- Hermaphrodite: Originally, but split in female and male halves. One of the more strange revelations given by OVA 3.
- All There in the Manual: Makes total sense if one reads the OVA canon novel detailing his backstory. He started out as a clone of Washu's (presumably) dead best friend, Akara Naja, who Came Back Wrong and lacked Naja's playful and carefree personality. The Naja clone fused with a male Ryoko prototype, changed its name to Kagato, and the rest is history. So Kagato is the result of a female clone fusing with a male body. Of course, it would've been nice for OVA 3 to bring any of this up in some fashion...
- Knight of Cerebus:
- In the OAV, things get serious once he appears, and he represents the only real time Tenchi was at risk of dying. Clay and Z have brief moments of tension surrounding them, but they never make the same impression that Kagato did.
- His Universe version fits the trope even better. Things were fairly light hearted until he appeared... he cleanly defeats Tenchi's grandfather, kidnaps Ayeka, and gravely wounds Ryoko. From there, Tenchi is forced into a life or death struggle to rescue Ayeka and save Jurai. Azaka, Kamidake and Ryoko all seem to die but manage to recover.
- Mad Scientist: (OAV 1)
- Only One Name
- Scary Shiny Glasses: (OAV)
Dr. Clay (OAV 2)
A description of the character goes here.
- Animal Motifs: An Octopus, naturally.
- Butt Monkey: At least to Washu...
- Moral Event Horizon: ... but he gets a moment where kills his Ryoko doppelganger for disobeying him, which Washu stops joking around after witnessing.
- High-Class Glass
- Kick the Dog: His abuse of the Ryoko clone he created. And in the New Manga Dark Washu.
- Mad Scientist
- Only One Name
- The Rival: To Washu.
- Smug Snake
Seiryo Tennan (OAV 2 & GXP)
A description of the character goes here.
- Anti-Villain: He's really more petty and vain than evil.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: As shown in GXP, he's actually a 'very' competent swordsman, he's just a blithering idiot outside of that.
- Mitsuaki Madono
- Rose Haired Man
- Sissy Villain
- Unfortunate Names: Unko, the name of Seiryo's ship. It was the only luck-based name that wasn't claimed already, it means "bringer of fortune". Which works really well for how it looks on paper. Unfortunately…it also means poop. More commonly, in fact. Which works really freaking terribly for actually speaking it aloud.
Misao Kuramitsu (OVA 3)
A description of the character goes here.
- Anti-Villain
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Is often mistaken for Mihoshi if one doesn't look closely enough.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Say what you will about Clay, at least he was fairly effective when all was said and done. Misao is treated as a joke from his first appearance and it only gets worse from there.
- Sissy Villain: Misao actually wears boots with high heels.
Mashisu Makibi (OVA 3)
A description of the character goes here.
- Bodyguard Crush: Elects to work with Misao largely because she loves him.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: When you get your behind handed to you by a nine year old who up to that point had no previous indication of her martial arts prowless, you've pretty much sunk as far as you can go on the villain scale.
- Love Makes You Dumb: Knows that Misao's plan could lead to war with Jurai...and generally thinks that Misao is stupid but puts up with all of that for love.
- The Worf Effect: The main reason for the easy defeat for Mashisu and her team was just to show off how unstoppable the Masaki household has become.
- Whip It Good: Has this as part of her arsenal...among other things. They don't do her any good.
Z (OVA 3)
A description of the character goes here.
- Affably Evil: From the way he speaks, you believe he's a good guy. So does he, to some extent anyway.
- Anti-Villain via Despair Event Horizon: The Chousin killed off his family causing him to go insane.
- Ax Crazy: The death of his family drove him to attempt to kill the gods that created the universe.
- Badass: His real entrance into the series has him blowing up an entire fleet that traveled through dimension space with just his Aura and floated back backwards waving high to the whale thing without breaking a sweat! Also Blowing up A WHOLE HOLE OF THE EARTH, then reducing the moon to A LITERAL CRESCENT!
- Blessed with Suck: He views the power to destroy planets a burden because it was given by the ones responsible of his family's deaths, which is why he wants to kill Tenchi in order to spare him of this burden.
- The Chessmaster: Being the mastermind behind the events of OVA 3.
- Manipulative Bastard: Borders on Magnificent Bastard, and would succeeded if Tenchi didn't turn out to be GOD HIMSELF.

- Evil Counterpart: To Tenchi As he has FIVE Light Hawk Wings.

- Freudian Excuse: See Anti-Villain for more details.
- The Man Behind the Man: Of Misao and Noike.
- Won't Work On Me: To Tenchi's powers by surrendering one of his wings for each power.
- Person of Mass Destruction: He is a higher dimensiona anomaly, which would give him limitless power by our measuring, despite that the Choushin rank far higher still. He once destroyed most of the Earth and the Moon on a whim, but was going to rewrite time to undo the damage afterwards.
- Power Gives You Wings
- Physical God
- Reality Warper
- The Starscream: To Tokimi
- Too Powerful to Live: Although Tokimi resurrected him, and his civilisation, and sent him back thousands of years into the past, to live his life normally with his family.
- Story-Breaker Power: He could destroy entire planetary bodies, manipulate dimensions, negate Tenchi's abilities that curbstomped Kagato, and by taxing himself to his limits even caused Tokimi pain. It took GOD Tenchi himself to finally kill him.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He wanted to stop Tokimi from interfering and killing any more mortal civilisations, including his own parents, and intended to kill Tokimi, save Tenchi from the same fate he suffered, and undo all of the deaths he had caused, including Tenchi himself after he cut off the connection with his higher self.
- You Gotta Have Green Hair
