Hello and welcome to my website that I created. This Web site is dedicated to Sasami and spreading the Sasami fandom across the universe. In this Web site you find some information and images of Sasami and some of the other characters from Pretty Samy and the "Tenchi Universe".
The music playing is Aeka's Bojo. Why Aeka's Bojo? Well because it's my favorite piece of music from the Tenchi series. It
was composed by Seikou Nagaoka for Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki and is now the
theme to my Web site. If you would like to Download it you can do find it here.
Ova
Sasami is a member of the Jurai royal family. She is the second princess after her sister, Aeka. By Earth standards she is about 8 years old. Also she was in suspended animation for a long time making her actual age about 700 years older. Her age by Jurai standards is different but I don't remember the difference of year length of Jurai as compared to Earth.
Sasami first comes to Earth by her sister's spaceship, Ryu-oh. She was aboard the spaceship with her sister who was pursuing the space pirate Ryoko. Aeka and Sasami were frozen aboard the ship until the ships computer was able to locate Ryoko. 700 years had passed on Earth when Ryoko was finally located.
TV
Sasami is once again the second princess of the Jurai royal family. In the TV series Sasami travels to Earth on her own spaceship after Aeka got stranded on Earth. Unfortunately Sasami also became stranded on Earth with her sister shortly after arriving on Earth. Unlike the OVA series Sasami was not preserved in suspended animation.
Shin Tenchi Muyo
In this series all of the usual girls, including Sasami, are already on Earth at the beginning of the series. They all arrived there on the same day by when Ryoko was running from the Galaxy Police in a spaceship built by Washu. Princess Aeka was also in pursuit and all three ships ended up getting destroyed leaving all 6 girls stranded on Earth at the Masaki Shrine. In this series Ryo-Ohki is Sasami's pet and not a spaceship belonging to Ryoko. Also Ryo-Ohki has the ability to turn into a giant bunny robot. Like Always Sasami is the second Princess of the Jurai royal family.
General
Among other things Sasami's hobbies include cooking and playing with Ryo-Ohki. She is often the character who acts the most mature notwithstanding the fact that she is the youngest character. She is kind and out going and is always there to be a good friend.
Pretty Samy OVA

Tsunami's rival, Ramia, also chose a magical girl to get in Samy's way. Ramia's magical girl is named Pixy Misa. It is unknown to Sasami that Pixy Misa is actually her best friend, Misao, who was forced into becoming the evil magical girl.

With instruction from Ryo-Ohki Pretty Sammy was able to defeat the love-love monsters and return everything back to normal.
Pretty Samy TV Series

She chose a 10 year old girl named Sasami Kawai. Pretty Samy didn't want to be a magical girl but before she could tell Tsunami that she didn't want to be a magical girl Tsunami was already on her way leaving Sasami with the magical baton and Ryo. Notwithstanding the fact that Sasami Kawai is an expert dodge ball player it seems that when she is Pretty Samy she always complains about how physically demanding being a magical girl is.
General
Pretty Samy being the transformed version of Sasami Kawai shares the same personality and traits of Sasami. She can use the Pretty Coquettish Bomber to cancel magic and return love-love monsters back to their normal form.

Her mother works often leaving Misao home alone. She was chosen by Ramia to become Pixy Misa the evil magical girl in order to prevent Samy from doing good. Misao has no knowledge of being Pixy Misa or of the trouble she causes to Pretty Samy.

Ramia, one of the other candidates, was angry they chose a flower girl over her to become queen. So she also chose a someone to become a magical girl. Her evil magical girl is there to cause trouble for Pretty Samy and prevent the gemini from becoming balanced.
Sakuya exists only in the Shin Tenchi Muyo series and as such she probably doesn't "belong" on this page. I like her almost as much as I like Sasami so she gets to be placed on this page. She is a very likable character with whom I became quickly attached to. It was her "death" within the series that originally made me the Tenchi Muyo fan I am today.
Shin Tenchi Muyo
Sakuya Kumashiro is a girl who goes to the same school as Tenchi when he is in Tokyo. She falls in love with Tenchi and Tenchi falls in love with her. In spite of being an outgoing and cheerful character most of the time there is a dark side to her. She is a creation of Yugi who's only purpose is to drive away the other girls from Tenchi. She has no knowledge of this however.
General
Tsunami, in all of her carnations is kind of a "spacey" in the way that she usually seems misinterpret things said or just doesn't seem to know things are being said. Often giving false information on unknowingly. Usually cheerful even during a crisis, often naive of how bad a situation actually is. She is a quirky kind of character that has unusual luck often just missing trouble without realizing the trouble was even there.
