Nuriko, at first, was thought of as woman. You soon learn that he isn't... He quickly becomes one of the guys and is thought of as a big brother to many of the other
Seishi... especially Tamahome.
He is always referred to as being "gay" by the others, because of his love for the Emperor. He's constantly doing things for Miaka, such as taking her places (being her
guardian), serving her food, and checking up on her when she is upset. Whenever somebody says something remotely out of line, he knocks them into a nearby wall. But Nuriko is one of my favorite! I find him one of the funniest characters in the entire show, and people are always making cracks about him. Like one line Tamahome says when introducing Nuriko "And him... He's gay." WHAMMM!!! He gets a huge blow to the head. Hehe, how can you not love him? Alas, while fighting one of the Seriyuu, he dies. A nice big bite right through the stomach! (ouchies!) He's missed SOO much, especially by me ;-;. Towards the end of the series (around episode 51) He makes a come back in the battle against Nakago, in the real world. He was actually only there in spirit, but those little girls with the blue hair (you know, the ones that are always pissing people off, although not on purpose) were letting him borrow a body. It's all very touching.
