[edit] Fictional mentions and inspiration

Benkei probably served as one of the inspirations for Jebu in Robert Shea's Shike books. Trying to think how to word this before I add it to the article. --131.207.161.152 14:05, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Take all the mentions of Benkei and stick it in a new section, list-style, and label it "Benkei in fiction", or something like that. --maru (talk) contribs 16:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Representations of character

I'm hoping someone knowledgeable in drama and fiction happens to be watching this page... I'm curious about the way Benkei is represented in different tales. In Kanjincho, and a number of other places, he is seen as being quite clever, calm, and reserved. However, in Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura, he is impetuous, violent, and not particularly observant, or it would seem cognizant, of the kinds of observances he, as a Buddhist monk, particularly one from Enryakuji, ought to be following. Any thoughts? Thanks. LordAmeth 20:31, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
