                                       Background/Personality:

Sanzo is not very open to anyone, and sees even the most trifling thing as something annoying. He takes a parental role in Goku’s life and has been responsible for his upbringing.  He is not overly fond of children or animals, but seems to be fine around Goku and Hakuryuu. He even indulges Lirin either by giving her a treat or letting her hang on his shoulders without much complaint. He is indifferent, short-tempered, and a rational thinker; most of the time he won’t fight unless absolutely necessary, even if the others are. He is most easily annoyed by Gojyo and Goku’s constant bickering. Most of the time, he solves this problem by threatening to punish them by hitting their heads with a large paper fan or firing his gun at them to get them to shut up. When they’re resting, he usually reads the newspaper and drinks a beer or tea. Though the rest of the ikkou are his only friends, he refuses to admit it. He typically describes them as his servants, and is never grateful no matter how many times they rescue him from death. In particular, he hates being pressed to defend his unusual position as a human traveling with youkai companions.
