Nakago
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nakago is a character in the manga and anime series Fushigi Yūgi created by Yuu Watase.
Considered to be the ringleader of all the Seiryu warriors, his cold demeanor and presence are often the drive behind Yui's decisions during the early story stages and is the main antagonist in the tv series. He is also the blonde haired, blue eyed shogun of Kutou, the eastern country and enemy of Konan. All of the Seiryū fear him. His life force is superior to all of the Suzaku warriors combined. When he was younger, he accidentally killed his mother and her assaulter, due to uncontrollable powers. The Emperor of Kutou learned that he was one of the Seiryū's seishi, hence he became the Kutou's general. The mark on his forehead means 'Heart,' which is ironic because he is the only warrior who hates everyone (except for Soi). He arrives at the Real World, attempting to take it over, but is killed by Tamahome when Miaka Yuki finally seals away Seiryu.
Interestingly enough, Nakago is the favorite character of series creator Yu Watase, as noted on several occasions in the chapter notes, as well in the second installment of the omake, "Tale of the Forbidden Women's Hot Spring" from the series 1 OVA (as stated by Nakago himself).

[edit] Personality
Beyond cold, he is arctic ice! His name is a misnomer (a dwelling for the heart); his plans and actions show a complete lack of mercy. He allows for no emotional distraction nor wasted action. Once someone's usefullness is exhausted, the person is eliminated. On the other hand, he has an undeniable charisma which allows him to skillfully manipulate people. But what goes on in his mind is a mystery.
Nakago is the last of the Hin tribe. The emperor of Kotou had sent out his soldiers to destroy the Hin tribe as they were hated by everyone. Nakago's mother was raped by the soldiers in front of him when he was a little boy, at this point Nakago used his life force blast and killed the soldiers and his mother. The soldiers recognized him as one of the Seiryuu warriors and they took him to the emperor. The emperor had molested him as Nakago lacked power over himself as a child. But as he grew up he gained complete control over his powers.
