Legendz (レジェンズ Rejenzu?) is a role-playing game, an anime, a toy, card game, and manga series.

The manga is illustrated by Makoto Haruno (春野 まこと Haruno Makoto) and the story is by Rin Hirai (平井 隣 Hirai Rin). The manga was published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan, and the manga is published in English by VIZ Media. The anime, Legendz: Tale of the Dragon Kings (レジェンズ 甦る竜王伝説 Regenzu Yomigaeru Ryūō Densetsu) is animated by Studio Gallop, directed by Akitaro Daichi, and aired on Fuji TV from April 4, 2004 to March 27, 2005.

The Legendz manga is about a boy at Ryudo Elementary School (竜童学校 Ryūdō Gakkō) named Ken Kazaki, who along with his loyal Windragon Shiron battles other people who raise and train monsters. He later enters the Legendz Carnival competition, where he learns of an evil that threatens the world.

The Legendz anime moves away from the Pokémon-esque "gotta catch em all" and monster training aspects and deals more with the overall background of the monster characters and their story. The Legendz anime opens with the discovery of the "Soul Dolls" which contain legendary creatures of incredible power within them. The Dark Wiz company (DWC) wants access to all of them for unknown reasons, but four of the Soul Dolls go missing. The majority of the anime takes place in Brooklyn, New York City, with the Brooklyn Bridge as a much-featured landmark.

[edit] Some things of note

  • The animation style in Legendz is very strange, with sometimes bland backgrounds, other times good backgrounds, but a constant in the series is the goofy and simplistic human character designs contrasted by the shadowed and detailed monster designs. The story starts off being about Shu and his friends and has a comedic tone, but towards the end it seems to gravitate almost toward being about Shiron and has a somewhat darker story. The anime also features jazz background music performed by David Matthews and his Orchestra.
  • As of yet, the anime is still not slated for a U.S. release and it is unknown if it ever will be. Some rumors going around claim it may be released in the U.S. in 2007, but this is not proven. The show is considered popular due to amount of fanart of the characters circulating around on art websites, so fans can only pray they think about localizing it.

[edit] Characters

[edit] Characters in the anime

  • Shuzo "Shu" Matsutani - (シュウゾウ・マツタニ Shūzō Matsutani, シュウ Shū) - He's the "Kaze no Saga" or "Saga of Wind". A very absent-minded, irresponsible 11-year-old boy who loves baseball (which he's bad at) and cute girls (which upsets Meg greatly). Shu seems to be an unlikely hero but proves his worth in the later episodes. His Legendz is Shiron the Windragon. Character taken from the animé series Now and Then, Here and There's Matsutani Shūzō (original Japanese name order). The character traits are pretty much the same. An irresponsible (as well as arrogant and stubborn) 11-year-old boy who is an unlikely (though very willing) hero and who seems fairly useless and helpless at first, but ends up having a major impact as the series progresses. His weapon of choice is a wooden stick that he finds in the first episode (maybe where they got the baseball idea from for Legendz). Voice Actor: Akemi Okamura
  • Meg Sprinkle (メグ・スプリンクル) - The "Saga of Water". A pink-haired girl who is a friend of Shu. Her Legendz is Zuou the Bigfoot. As the series progresses, Meg has an intense dislike of Legendz and fighting, because she feels these harm her friendship with Shu and Mac. She has a tendency to take pictures of people and things. Her most noteworthy trait is that she possesses a great deal of common sense among the three friends. As an intended running gag throughout the anime, whenever Shu does something that irritates Meg to the limit of her patience, she delivers her "Meg Chop" to Shu's head. Voice Actor: Megumi Nasu
  • Mike "Mac" McField - (マック, マイク・マクフィールド) - The "Saga of Earth". An obese boy who likes hamburgers and is a very perceptive friend of Shu and of most situations the group gets into. His Legendz is Garion the Griffin. Mac is very kind and isn't particularly upset by anything. Voice Actor: Masami Suzuki
  • Dino Sparks (ディーノ・スパークス) - The "Saga of Fire". A rich, but lonely boy who always carries a rose with him. His Legendz is Greedo the Blazedragon. Despite his status as a wealthy person, he is not arrogant or looks down on others as most stereotypical upper class are portrayed. Voice Actor: Omi Minami
  • Haruka Hepburn (ハルカ・ヘップバーン) - A woman who has a life-long interest in all Legendz. She also fronts as a teacher at Shu's school. Her life is deeply entwined with Legendz more than she knows. She is particularly infatuated with Shiron, whom she flips out around every time he appears. Voice Actor: Yoriko Fuchizaki
  • BB/Bouchou - A purple-haired woman sent to retrieve the Wind Talispod from Shu. Though she works hard to steal it from him, she is not an unkind person as seen later on. Voice Actor: Yuri Amamo
  • J1 and J2 - Two agents who work under BB. Voice Actor (J1): Eiji Takemoto (J2): Tsuyohsi Maeda
  • President of DWC - A small, pitiful man who "controls" DWC in place of the CEO. He is constantly bullied and intimidated by Ranshiin in just about every episode they are together, most often due to either Ranshiin being unhappy with the electric fans he uses to air himself or because of the constant failures to retrieve Shu's Talispod. Voice Actor: Takashi Matsuyama
  • Sasuke Matsutani (サスケ・マツタニ) - Shu's dad who works at DWC. He gives Shu the Wind Talispod. A seemingly typical Japanese father who just wants his son to be happy. Voice Actor: Hiroyuki Sawada
  • Yoko Matsutani (ヨウコ・マツタニ Yōko Matsutani) - Shu's mother. Despite a seemingly minor role in the anime, her involvement in the story becomes deeper toward the end. Much like Shu's father, she simply wants Shu to be happy with things.
  • Bruno Sparks (ブルーノ・スパークス) - Dino's father, who was the president of the Duck Mind Company. He and Sasuke develop the Talisdam, an upgrade of the Talispod, with three Soul Doll docking bays. Voice Actor: Kouji Ishii
  • Shiron the Windragon (シロン) - A wind-type Legendz who can't remember his past. His attack is "Wing Tornado". The main Legendz character. He is fond of windy days and is actually quite social, despite the fact he spends a great deal of his time in his lesser form, a hamster-like animal that can't say anything beyond that of "ga ga ga." Voice Actor: Kazuhiko Inoue
  • Greedo the Blazedragon (グリードー) - A fire-type Legendz, he transforms into a rose which Dino takes around with him. Greedo is part of a three-Legendz team called G-W-Nicol. Despite his rebel appearance and tough personality he slowly grows to befriend Dino and is actually quite friendly. He is a stark contrast to Dino in many ways. Voice Actor: Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi
  • Wolfy the Werewolf (ウォルフィ) - Earth-type Legendz. A member of Greedo's group, G-W-Nicol. It is hinted he and Dandy Crocodile knew each other in the past, but this is mentioned briefly and never speculated upon. Voice Actor: Yuto Nakano
  • Leo the Manticore (リーオン) - Wind-type Legendz. A member of Greedo's group, G-W-Nicol. It could be that his name is actually Nicol because of the way the group announces themselves, but this is unknown. Voice Actor: Tsuyoshi Maeda
  • Garion the Griffin (ガリオン) - An earth-type Legendz. Wise and powerful, frightening when provoked, she can be set in her ways. Voice Actor: Mika Doi
  • Zuou the Bigfoot (ズオウ) - A water-type Legendz (though he actually uses ice). He is young and naïve, but cares for Meg and will protect her at all costs, despite Meg's initial desire for him to stay away from her. Voice Actor: Ayako Saito
  • Ranshiin (ランシーン) - A mysterious black-winged Windragon who seems to be the one in true control of DWC (he bullies and intimidates the President of the company constantly) and has an interest in Shiron. He seems to be rather easily annoyed by the lack of wind at where he's staying. Ranshiin is physically and mentally an antithesis to Shiron in every way. While he seems to be the story's main antagonist, there is very little background information on him and nothing at all is revealed about him even when the series ends. The idea of him being such a mysterious character stems from the fact that his bio always appears as a series of question marks in the opening theme. In addition, it seems he is prone to small fits of insanity, though why this happens is relatively unexplained as well. Voice Actor: Kazuhiko Inoue

[edit] Minor/miscellaneous characters in the anime

  • Goblin - Summoned by BB to attack Shu in the first episode so he will surrender the wind talispod. While at DWC, he seems to be a file clerk.
  • Big Goblin - Formed by multiple goblins merging together, Shiron's 1st opponent.
  • Storm Worm - Shiron's 2nd opponent. Does not put up much of a fight.
  • Giant Crab - Shiron's 3rd opponent. It only really wants to return to the sea.
  • Dandy the Devour Crocodile - First appears in episode 4. A water-type Legendz who is hired by DWC to negotiate with Shu for his Talispod, but is reformed and does good deeds. He calls Shiron his "aniki". Later in the series, Dandy opens up a bar for Legendz to hang out at called "Cafe Wani no Ana", meaning "Crocodile Cave Cafe". He snaps at people when he is called a crocodile. He apparently knows Salamander, as he mentions him by name in episode 4, but exactly how they met is unknown (their friendship is unusual in that they are both opposite elements). Voice Actor: Kouji Ishii
  • Anna the Harpy - First appears in episode 5. A caring, free-spirited wind-type Legendz who disguises herself as a young girl to steal Shu's Talispod. However, she realises that she cares for Shu.
  • Fire Giant - He belongs to Edo, the self proclaimed Fire Saga. Though he knows Edo isn't very reliable, he supports him as best he can.
  • Cait Sith - An intelligent cat Legendz working for DWC. However, his weakness is that he can behave very much like an ordinary cat (chasing mice, laying in sunlight, etc.) though that was due to Shu's constant attempts at proving he was literally a cat.
  • Hellhounds - Five dog Legendz that combine into one. They greatly endangered Meg's life.
  • Rapper King the Maze Octopus - A water-type Legendz who has more of a desire to sing instead of fight. Despite his name, what he sings can't be considered rap.
  • Willowisp - Fire Legendz, used as a distraction to get Shiron's attention.
  • Chimera - Shape shifting Legendz, one of Shiron's first difficult opponents. This legendz can split into fiery forms of a goat, lion, eagle and a snake.
  • Kraken - Water Legendz, attacks Shiron when he goes off on his own.
  • Zombie - Dark Legendz, able to reform no matter their damage.
  • Skeleton - Sent by Ranshiin to test Shiron, summons zombies to fight him. He is actually quite irritating and more of a nuisance than anything due to his exasperating tone of voice.
  • Golem -
  • Assassin -
  • Gargoyle - A powerful dark Legendz summoned by Skeleton to deal with Shiron.
  • Bicorn - A dark unicorn Legendz, she delights in the suffering of others. Her strongest ability is making anyone relive their worst fear, which she particularly enjoyed subjecting Greedo to.
  • Lesser Gargoyle - Summoned by Bicorn to cause panic amongst the people.
  • Yeti - Ice-Type Legendz similar to Zouh who happend to interrupt a baseball game and fought Zouh. He was difficult for a few minutes but than Zouh suddenly transformed to his 2nd form and took Yeti down.
  • Salamander - Appears in episode 20 disguised as a hotdog vendor at Coney Island. A fire-type Legendz summoned by BB to capture Shu's talipod, but fails. A few episodes later, he reunites with Dandy and works at his bar, "Cafe Wani no Ana". Voice Actor: Eiji Takemoto
  • Jin - A wind-type Legendz that tries to steal Shiron's cap, summons Cloud Giant when he is outmatched.
  • Cloud Giant - An extremely gigantic wind-type Legendz summoned by Jin to fight Shiron after stealing Shiron's cap. He is so huge, his head literally could be in the clouds.
  • Dwarf -
  • Vampire - Dark Legendz, summoned by Haruka and Ranshiin to take Shiron down, also fights and loses to Garion.
  • Mr. English (Eigo A-ta) - A strange carrot-nosed character who randomly appears in the show and speaks in Engrish. Eigo assumes the role of narrator, though it is not consistent narration.
  • Ms. General Affairs (Soumu-san) - A polite-speaking employee of DWC who appears randomly to assist BB.
  • Perkins - An absentminded scientist working for DWC.
  • Richard/Robert/Steve - A strange little man, who is constantly changing his name and hunting profession.
  • Edo - The self proclaimed Fire Saga, but he is actually a timid man with few talents.
  • Meg's parents - Meg's mother and father, who have a small role in the anime. They are concerned for their daughter's happiness, but they know Meg makes the right choices.
  • Mac's parents - Mac's mother and father, who have relatively minor roles in the anime despite their concern for their son. Mac's father seems to be a pottery maker.

[edit] Important storyline characters in the anime

  • Selba -
  • Tornado Elemental Legion (Blue) - Fusion of Shiron, Zuou, and Garion
  • Volcano Elemental Legion (Red) - Fusion of Greedo, Wolfie, and Leo
  • Spiritual Elemental Legion (Gold)- Fusion of Shiron, Garion, and Greedo
  • CEO of DWC - As his name implies, he is the one who pulls all the strings at DWC (he wields more authority than Ranshiin). His entrance into the series is late, but his role is one of the most important.
  • Tornado King Dragon - One of the four Dragon Kings. Governs all wind-type Legendz
  • Storm King Dragon - One of the four Dragon Kings. Governs all water-type Legendz
  • Volcano King Dragon - One of the four Dragon Kings. Governs all fire-type Legendz
  • Earthquake King Dragon - One of the four Dragon Kings. Governs all earth-type Legendz
  • Jabberwock - A terrifying gigantic Legendz who is rightfully feared by those who have heard of him. He wields the power to manipulate both humans and Legendz.
  • The Legendz gods - Mysterious divine Legendz that appear near the end of the series, their only interest is in speaking to Shiron. The leader of these gods (a being cloaked in bright light so you can't make out his face) tends to go off subject and the others interrupt him before he goes off on a tangent.
  • Wind-Maker?/Kanerudo Windragon - An incredibly powerful Legendz of "legend" who had the power to wield all the elements. He was once the general of the army of Legendz and the heir to the throne of Tornado King Dragon. He nearly brought the world to ruin long ago and has not been heard from since, becoming no more than a legend. He is depicted in the removed and hidden final pages of the "Book of Legendz", along with many pages worth of undeciphered text.

[edit] Characters in the manga

  • Ken Kazaki (風来ケン Kazaki Ken) - A normally aloof kid who takes Legendz seriously. His Legendz is the Windragon Shiron (シロン). He is the Wind Saga. He's really been influenced by Eiji Yashiro, after he had been beaten twice by him and ruthlessly pressed Shiron into training. Ken has a way of forcing others to drink his green tonic (that his grandmother made) for him; once his grandmother accidentally stuffed it down Yuki's throat, and he had pushed Shiron into doing so.
  • Ririko Yasuhara (安原りり子 Yasuhara Ririko) - A girl talented at Legendz who has a Mermaid Tetty. She is the Saga of Water. The Water Saga's greatest gift is one of healing, which she used to the maximum when driven to do so. She likes Ken, and was shocked when learned that he was going to America.

  • Shunsuke Dekai (出海瞬輔 Dekai Shunsuke) - Hosuke's younger brother who wants to win at Legendz. However, his neglection of his Werewolf Balthus prevents his victory. When Balthus is driven to attack him and Hosuke, Shunsuke refuses to attack back and instead defends himeself and Hosuke, remarking that "Balthus is my best friend." Yet, later on, he loses to Tetty and Ririko.
  • Leo Engokuin (炎獄院レオ Engokuin Reo) - The son of the president of DWC. He runs this year's Legendz Carnival competition. His Legendz is the Blazedragon Greedo. Leo is one of the two Fire Sagas. He had red eyes and fire came out of his hands, and had no friends as a child but his sister.
  • Kaoruko Goshika (御鹿カオルコ Goshika Kaoruko) - A contestant in the Legendz Carnival. She is the daughter of a Legendz researcher looking for crystals (her character background is very similar to Haruka's in the anime). Her Legendz is Bjork the Golem. She is the Earth Saga. Ken calls her "Miss Underwear," because in the Legendz Carnival, she wore bloomers that Ken thought at first were underwear.
  • Namio Afuro (阿風呂ナミオ Afuro Namio) / Namio Curly - Leo's assistant. His most prominent feature is his large Afro-style wig. He loves wigs, and tries them on when alone. He's been with Leo awhile.
  • Mio Engokuin (炎獄院ミオ Engokuin Mio) - Leo's older twin sister. Mio was kidnapped by Necrom, the Dark Kingdom. Mio is the other Fire Saga. She occasionally pulls on Leo's face, and once made him promise that he would be strong.
  • Meiko Kajiwara - Meiko is a sixth grader at Kokuryu Elementary School and is Hosuke's self-proclaimed girlfriend. Meiko kidnaps Ririko to lure Ken to the school. Then she battles Ken with her Assassin Bug, Baiks (and loses, too).
  • Yuki Amagi (天城勇樹 Amagi Yūki) - A sixth grader at Ken's school. Yuki offers Ken his Golden Soul Figure if Ken proves himself as worthy of the soul figure. Ken's reply? He stuffed it into Yuki's mouth. He is the leader of the Ryudo Four and wields the Yeti Gosetsu.
  • Maki Mitsui (三井真希 Mitsui Maki) - Another sixth grader who has a Kansai dialect. She is a member of the Ryudo Four. Her Legendz is Suzu, a Catsy. Both of them love meat buns.

[edit] Notable People

[edit] Trivia

Shuzo Matsutani is also a character in Now and Then, Here and There. Now and Then, Here and There has a darker tone than Legendz.

In addition in Now and Then, Here and There Shuzo is from Tokyo, Japan instead of New York City. The traditional Japanese naming order (family name, given name) is used for his name in the Japanese version of Now and Then, Here and There while in the Japanese version of Legendz his name is in the Western order (given name, family name).

At the end of the Legendz Manga, Ken runs past 2 kids while in New York City. Though one of the kid's faces is not shown, it appears that the kid who is shown, is none other than Shu, the star of the anime series. The other one is obviously Meg, if one notices the clothes and hair and the fact that the two of them are seen together often.

Dandy and Salamander are considered by a small fanbase to be a yaoi couple, though the show does not touch upon inferences of sexuality in any way. The concept may come from the fact that they refer to each other in tones that imply a close relationship (ex: Dandy calls Salamander "Sala-chan" and Salamander calls Dandy "Danna") and that they live together as a result of having known each other.

Ranshiin is a Legendz exclusive to the anime, most likely because his relation to Shiron wouldn't have much relevance in the manga's storyline.

Because the anime and the manga are two entirely different stories, Shiron's personality is portrayed as being much more friendly in the manga and having less of an attitude than he does in the anime. He is also shorter, less muscular in build and appears to be slightly rotund (Kaoruko calls him "fat dragon" at one point).
