His image had changed since the beginning of the story.He didn't know what प्यार was until he found Miaka,it was in that moment when he first felt that kind of feeling...she was his first love! Before I became a mangaka, when I was 18 years old,at the time of "Heart ni Houseki", I used to draw Tamahome. When I found that notebook,the character reborned after so long.
He's a guy hard to describe and द्वारा the other hand he seems to be a young sad boy with issues. His image is the one of a strong but fragil guy. द्वारा protecting someone,he also protects himself.
Tamahome makes आप feel like hugging him...why would it be?

I made him homosexual just because I want it to make a joke, but now I think my decision was correct. When I was going to begin the story, Hotohori already had the image of a man as beautiful as any woman. But Nuriko had the figure of a man, he was tall and a gentleman, I have a picture of it...But that way,he'd turned up to be just a homosexual,that's why I ended up making him what he is...considering, although the प्यार he felt for Hotohori make him a homosexual,there's nothing weird about it because he felt like a woman. It was like a sister (?),trustworthy,who have the दिल of a man and a woman.

His kansai dialect is very funny. I wanted a character who was different to the others. I designed him having in consideration the concept of savage,because it didn't have too much sense that he was only different to Tama and Hori.I changed the डिज़ाइन 3 times before I got to this one. The first one had a completely different personality and he was friend of Tamahome since childhood.Between being a bandid, a regular civilian, emperor, monk, doctor,etc, I wanted for him to be और outstanding.Part of that is based on the book "Suikoden" and his प्रशंसक comes from the book "Saiyuki" because it just came up to me while talking about Oosaka,hahaha. Although आप can't see it, Tasuki run very fast.When he first appeared,he kidnapped Miaka,right? He has a lot of strength and knows how to fight.He's not like the rest of the constellations that only have one ability,he have the hole package.

Taken from book 11

The referred "four gods" are those who guard east, west, south and north,the four corners of the earth Seiryuu, Byakko, Suzaku and Genbu. Each god divided up the sky into four equal quadrants and the twenty eight Seishuku withim them were separated into seven.

According to ancient Chinese astronomy, the sky was divided into four quadrants, each quadrant representing a season of the year. These quadrants are then each divided into 28 different segments, called "sheishuku". The quadrants themselves are associated with colored जानवर deities that serve as guardians. These are Suzaku The Red Bird, Seiryuu The Blue Dragon,Genbu The Black कछुआ या Warrior and Byakko The White Tiger. The unique circular formation of the quadrants and constellations has many different explanations.

...One is based off an ancient Chinese creation myth about a goddess (Nu Kwa)who had, in the course of a divine war with rival deities damaged one of the "pillars" holding up the sky,causing water to pour from it onto the land and the horizon to become
lopsided.In order to stabalized things,she rebuilt the square-like "pillar" using colored stones that shone in the night sky,and placed four guardians in each corner of it,in order to keep it from collapsing.Another explanation concentrates और on the "time" application of the Four Gods formation.The moon's orbit was used द्वारा the ancient Chinese to measure the passing of seasons, each season represented द्वारा a guardian in the sky. It was believed that the moon passed one of the constellations ("seishuku")every few days,and that it took the passing of all 28 constellations to complete a full orbit of the moon,and therefore all the seasons.Each season was thus represented द्वारा the four guardians deities mentioned before.
