Character Info:
Hotohori is the ruler of the country of Konan. Ever since he was a little boy he dreamed about the legend of the Suzaku no Miko, and hoped to one day meet her. He is mistaken by Miaka for a girl the first time she meets him, because of his long hair and beauty.
He falls in love with Miaka, mostly simply because she is the Suzaku no Miko that he has been so curious about for so long. Meanwhile, although so far of what I've seen (TV episdoes 1-24) Hotohori hasn't noticed it, Nuriko is in love with *him.*
He has no special magical skills or martial arts skills, but he is very adept with a sword.
Character Description:
It is because of his looks that Hotohori is just a *bit* Narcissistic. At times during the series you'll see him look into a mirror and cry out, "I'm so beautiful!" while those around him sigh inwardly in exasperation but say nothing. After all, he IS the Emperor.
It bothers Hotohori that when Miaka goes traveling somewhere, he can't go with her and must remain on the throne ruling his country. He envies the other seishis' freedom.
Hotohori will make whatever sacrifices are needed to protect or help Miaka, as do the rest of Suzaku's Sei. His sword is always at the ready for any duty necessary to aid Miaka, including some.. not so pleasant ones which you'll have to watch the episodes to find out about.
