Main Characters[Edit] Tori Aoi (葵・トーリ Aoi Tōri?) Voiced By: Jun Main characters[edit] Tori Aoi (葵・トーリ Aoi Tōri?) Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (Japanese), Josh Grelle (English) Handle name: Me (俺 Ore?) The main protagonist. He is the head of Musashi Ariadust Academy's Supreme Federation and President of the student council. His athletics and grades are average. However, because he doesn't know the meaning of depressed and has an incredibly cheerful attitude, and the only time he ever cried was when his childhood friend Horizon Ariadust died. He knows a lot of strip jokes, and often plays the fool but he's very respected nonetheless. After he is declared Viceroy of Musashi along Horizon, Tori gains access to one-fourth of the ship's energy supply, and by making a contract to the Asama Shrine he gains a special power that allows him to channel that energy supply to his allies, granting them limitless power. This ability is also used by Horizon to activate Ólos Phthonos and unlock the true power of the Mortal Sin Armaments in her possession. The condition for the ability to properly work is that he has to always be happy for the rest of his life, and a single flick of sadness at his heart may provoke a backlash that can kill him. Despite his fool play, he has proven himself as a capable leader, coming with unexpected solutions to the most intricate difficulties and also being skilled in debates as seen when he confronts the opinions of Masazumi Honda and later P-01s. P-01s (ピー・ゼロワンエス Pī Zerowan'esu?) / Horizon Ariadust (ホライゾン・アリア ダスト Horaizon Ariadasuto?) Voiced by: Minori Chihara (Japanese), Emily Neves (English) Handle name: Horako (ホラ子 Horako?) The main female protagonist. She is an android employed at the bakery/snack shop Blue Thunder, which is popular among the Musashi students. She aimlessly appeared one year ago and the owner of Blue Thunder took her in, but she has no memories prior to that. She is emotionless and unsociable, but she works very hard at Blue Thunder. She is also the reason why Tori started going back to the Blue Thunder, because she resembled Horizon, Tori's childhood friend and love interest who supposedly died ten years earlier. Later he finds out that she is Horizon herself, but also as P-01s she has the ninth Mortal Sin Armament, Ólos Phthonos, with the feeling of envy attached to it. Her emotions are spread out into the Nine Mortal Sin Armaments, which Tori vows to gather for Horizon, thus "conquering the world." Towards the end of anime's first season, she regains her feeling of sadness when she came into possession of Muneshige Tachibana's Mortal Sin Armament, the Lypē Katathlipsē, and cried while firing its Overdrive Activation. After obtaining Thomas Shakespeare's Mortal Sin Armament, the Aspida Philargia, Horizon regains her feelings of ambition, promising to make use of her new-found greed to have her classmates stop the apocalypse and claim a better future for all of Musashi. P-01s is the short name for Phtonos-01s, the OS for the Mortal Sin Armaments. Ólos Phthonos is the system that taps into Horizon's soul, allowing Horizon to use the Soul Activation of all Mortal Sin Armaments. Musashi Ariadust Academy students[edit] Masazumi Honda (本多・正純 Honda Mazasumi?) Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese), Genevieve Simmons (English) Handle name: Vice President (副会長 Fukukaichou?) The vice president of the student council. She's very serious, skilled in debate, and aiming to become a politician. In the past she underwent gender reassignment surgery in order to continue the family name, but certain circumstances forced her to stop the process partway. Her lack of breasts is a result of the surgery, but Tori treats her as a girl with a flat chest. She used to wear male clothing after the partial gender reassignment, but after Innocentius' lecture she started to wear female clothing again. Later she gains an anteater-like maus which Asami imbues with special powers to protect her. Futayo Honda (本多・二代 Honda Futayo?) Voiced by: Yu Kobayashi (Japanese), Kendall McClellan (Season 1), Carli Mosier (Season 2) (English) Handle name: Dragonfly Cutter (蜻蛉切 Tonbokiri?) Head of the Mikawa Security Corps. She is Masazumi's second cousin and the daughter of Tadakatsu Honda, one of the four divine Matsudaira kings. Due to the strict training she received from her father, she became a skilled fighter with the spear but is clueless about the world. While she holds a high level of morale, she is easily embarrassed, which causes her to drop her guard. She inherits the Divine Weapon Tonbokiri from her father after his death. Futayo's contract with her god gave her increased speed for every swing of weapon she does, thus giving her endless speed boost. After being defeated in battle by Kimi, she enrolls at Musashi Ariadust Academy. Toussaint Neshinbara (トゥーサン・ネシンバラ Tūsan Neshinbara?) Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura (Japanese), Beth Lazarou (English) Handle name: Novice (未熟者 Mijukumono?) The secretary for the student council. He has a dry personality and often faces the goofing off around him with a cold attitude, but he's also a romanticist who loves history and hopes to be a writer. When the nations come to war, he is in charge of drafting and commanding their strategies. Shirojiro Bertoni (シロジロ・ベルトーニ Shirojiro Berutōni?) Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese), Justin Doran (Season 1), Kyle Downing (Season 2) (English) Handle name: Miser (守銭奴 Shusendo?) The accountant for the student council. He is a merchant working at the center of Musashi's business association, and has a contract with the god of commerce that allows him to perform powerful attacks based on how much money is offered to it. He's also what one would call a miser—always using whether or not he stands to profit as the basis of his decisions in everything. His nickname given by the Testament Union is "Poker Face". He is named after Shirojiro Chaya. Heidi Augesvarer (ハイディ・オーゲザヴァラー Haidi Ogezavarā?) Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka (Japanese), Cynthia Martinez (English) Handle name: Marubeya (○べ屋 Marubeya?) Shirojiro's partner. She is seen constantly smiling. She is accompanied by Erimaki, her fox-like Maus. Tenzo Crossunite (点蔵・クロスユナイト Tenzō Kurosuyunaito?)

Although he is a nice person, he is quite perverted and has a fetish for big-breasted blonde girls. His face is always covered his eyes cast in shadow. He's most notable by wearing a ballcap which has animated eyes showing his hidden expressions. Tenzo is the first one to encounter Mary when she is in her Scarred disguise. When her identity is revealed, Tenzo fell in love with her and decided to rescue her from the Tower of London. When she transfers to the Musashi, they start sharing a room together as husband and wife. Mary (メアリ Meari?) Voiced by: Yui Horie (Japanese), Shelley Calene-Black (English) Handle name: Scarred (傷有り Kizuari?) She is introduced in the second season of the series as Scarred. She hid her identity with a cloak showing only a scar on her face and wearing iron shackles on her ankles. She is later revealed to be Mary Stuart and twin sister of Queen Elizabeth. Before her actual role, she was given the Mary Tudor one, and now is destined to be executed just as occurred with the real-life Mary Stuart. After inadvertently revealing her identity to Tenzo and falling in love with him, she returns to the London Tower determined to fulfill her role until she is rescued by Tenzo, who declares his love for her and convinces her to live with him at the Musashi.

    Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 Jonathan Wroot PhD Thesis Submitted to the University of East Anglia For the qualification of PhD in Film Studies 2013 1 Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 2 Acknowledgements Thanks needed to be expressed to a number of people over the last three years – and I apologise if I forget anyone here. First of all, thank you to Rayna Denison and Keith Johnston for agreeing to oversee this research – which required reining in my enthusiasm as much as attempting to tease it out of me and turn it into coherent writing. Thanks to Mark Jancovich, who helped me get started with the PhD at UEA. A big thank you also to Andrew Kirkham and Adam Torel for doing what they do at 4Digital Asia, Third Window, and their other ventures – if they did not do it, this thesis would not exist. Also, a big thank you to my numerous other friends and family – whose support was invaluable, despite the distance between most of them and Norwich. And finally, the biggest thank you of all goes to Christina, for constantly being there with her support and encouragement. 3 Abstract The thesis will examine how DVD distribution can affect Japanese film dissemination in the UK. The media discourse concerning 4Digital Asia and Third Window proposes that this is the principal factor influencing their films’ presence in the UK from 2008 to 2010.

  • Japan and Its East Asian Neighbors: Japan’S Perception of China and Korea and the Making of Foreign Policy from the Seventeenth to the Nineteenth Century
    JAPAN AND ITS EAST ASIAN NEIGHBORS: JAPAN’S PERCEPTION OF CHINA AND KOREA AND THE MAKING OF FOREIGN POLICY FROM THE SEVENTEENTH TO THE NINETEENTH CENTURY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Norihito Mizuno, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James R. Bartholomew, Adviser Professor Philip C. Brown Adviser Professor Peter L. Hahn Graduate Program in History Copyright by Norihito Mizuno 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of Japanese perceptions of its East Asian neighbors – China and Korea – and the making of foreign policy from the early seventeenth century to the late nineteenth century. Previous studies have overwhelmingly argued that after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Japan started to modernize itself by learning from the West and changed its attitudes toward those neighboring countries. It supposedly abandoned its traditional friendship and reverence toward its neighbors and adopted aggressive and contemptuous attitudes. I have no intention of arguing here that the perspective of change and discontinuity in Japan’s attitudes toward its neighbors has no validity at all; Japan did adopt Western-style diplomacy toward its neighbors, paralleling the abandonment of traditional culture which had owed much to other East Asian civilizations since antiquity. In this dissertation, through examination primarily of official and private documents, I maintain that change and discontinuity cannot fully explain the Japanese policy toward its East Asian neighbors from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. The Japanese perceptions and attitudes toward China and ii Korea had some aspects of continuity.
