| | | | |
| | + | ==Non-Hentai Apperances== |
| | + | Sasami first appeared in the OAV seriesTenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki. Since then the series has spun off various books, animes, manga, movies and games, and Sasami has appeared in every one of them. Her greatest achievement however was to get her own spin-off series, Mahou Shoujo Pretty Samy (Magical Girl Pretty Sammy), which itself has spawned a number of sequals and merchandise. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Personality and series role== | + | ==General Personality== |
| − | In most series, Sasami is the younger sister of Aeka and so is also a princess of Jurai. Within the family group Sasami usually takes on the dual role of younger sister/mother. She may be the most responsible of the group and takes care of all the cooking duties. She has a rarely-seen mischievous streak within her however, and takes great delight in fooling the older girls. Sasami has a huge fan following across the globe and is the inspiration for what VIZ editor Carl Gustav Horn called 'The Sasami Effect', in that any young cute girl within a cast of characters will inevitably become the most popular. This has become true for the Sailor Moon character, [[Chibiusa]], plus many other "young" female characters in Japanese, French, and American series. Sasami's personality is more mature in the OVA than in the other continuities, and more aggressive in the second TV and the Pretty Sammy spin offs.
| + | Sasami's personality varies depending on which series she appears in. In the various Tenchi Muyo! series, Sasami is an intelligent, mature young girl, but with a tendancy to become more childish during extreme emotional circumstances - which of course includes sex, and especially rape. |
| | | | |
| − | == Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki ==
| + | In the Pretty Samy works however, Sasami's personality is far more dominant and agressive. She is energetic, what Japanese would refer to as a 'Genki' girl. |
| − | In the original series Sasami is, along with Masaki Ayeka Jurai, the daughter of Emperor Masaki Azusa Jurai and second Empress Masaki Misaki Jurai. She is the granddaughter of Kamiki Seto Jurai and Kamiki Utsumi on her mother's side and Masaki Amame of Jurai and Yotsuga Kazuki, a Galaxy Police officer assigned to Jurai on her fathers. Sasami has a half-brother called Masaki Yosho Jurai, who shares the same father, but a different mother - Her father has two wives. She currently lives on Earth with her sister, her brother, her great-nephew Masaki Tenchi and the rest of her extended family. She arrived on Earth by 'accident', stowing away on her sisters ship when she went looking for Yosho. She quickly became close friends with Ryo-Ohki and even Ryoko, despite that Ryoko held a blade to Sasami's throat almost as soon as they met. | + | |
| | | | |
| − | Sasami holds a dark secret within her past. Seven hundred years ago, during an attack on Jurai by Ryoko, Sasami was mortally injured, and she believed that she died that day, that she was now a copy of the 'real' Sasami. The truth is that Sasami survived her injuries when Tsunami-kami-sama, in the form of Tsunami-no-ki, assimilated with her. Tsunami-no-ki absorbed and re-created Sasami's body in order to heal her. However, Tsunami-kami-sama had a purpose of her own and merged her spirit with Sasami's. In effect, they are now one being with two souls, and as they grow older their spirits will merge. This may account for her maturity in this series. This also grants Sasami several powers that she does not possess in any other series. She now commands the most powerful ship in existence - Tsunami-fune - and can summon it from sub-space at will. Through her link to Tsunami-kami-sama she is linked to every Juraian Ship and their owners, and can sense their location and status. She also has precognitive abilities, but unfortunately these manifest as terrible nightmares. Sasami hid her secret from those around her - including herself - because her greatest fear was that she would be rejected by those she loved. | + | ==Sexuality== |
| | + | Sasami is normally a heterosexual girl, who is usually partnered with Tenchi Masaki or occasionally with a generic rapist character. She also has a large number of lesbian appearances with [[Misao Amano]] as the dominant partner. Due to Sasami's populartiy she has also had tentacle, bondage, masterbation and many other roles in hentai. |
| | | | |
| − | It should also be noted that Sasami is an accomplished combatant, most likely taught by her mother, who is the Supreme Commander of the Royal Bodyguard, and enhanced by the link with Tsunami-no-ki, easily defeating Mashisu Makibi, who was a trained Galaxy Police officer. One of the cherry-like hair bands she wears is capable of becoming a staff.
| + | ==Hentai Appearences== |
| | + | Sasami makes nude or sexual appearances in the following doujins:- |
| | | | |
| − | ==Mihoshi Special==
| + | Achika Tactics II, |
| − | In this one-off episode - written as a 'pilot' for both Tenchi Universe and Pretty Sammy - Sasami appears as herself, possibly her OAVersion, but in the story told her name and image is used for the role of a Galaxy Police cadet, and has a secret identity as Pretty Sammy, along with her pet Ryo-Ohki. She is also known as the best tea maker in the GP.

| − | ==Tenchi Universe==
| + | Sasami has also appeared in a H-anime with Tenchi known simply as '''The Shower''', which in its full version also features characters from Ranma 1/2 and another, unknown couple, and a short yuri flash movie with Ryo-Ohki. Her image is used in a flash game called '''Hyper SM'''. However, this version is a teenage Sasami with enlarged breasts. |
| − | In the first TV series Sasami is still Aeka's sister and princess of Jurai, but there is no mention of her parents and no direct connection to Yosho or Tenchi. Sasami is a little more immature but is still an accomplished cook. She has a much more happy, innocent outlook on life and no special powers. She does - or did - own her own ship, but unfortunately it was soon destroyed, stranding her on Earth. She is an expert games player, especially fighting games, and takes the revived Azaka as her pupil. During the three part special episodes 'Time and Space Adventures', which seem to be homages to various genres or specific shows/films, Sasami is usually side-lined away from the main story, except of course in her own in which she once again plays the role of 'Pretty Sammy'. It is worth noting that even in her own story she starts off as a background character, only taking center stage once she has transformed.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==Tenchi Muyo in Love 1 & 2== | + | ==Notable Mentions== |
| − | These two movies are set in the Universe continuity and Sasami's personality remains the same. Unfortunately she gets less screen time than the other characters. A manga companion to the second movie, Tenchi Muyo! in Love 2: Eternal Memory, shows what was supposedly happening to Sasami 'off-screen' and introduces Tsunami-kami-sama to the Universe continuity, but it is unknown if this is official. The manga implies that Sasami & Tenchi will one day have a child named Izumi, but Sasami will die soon after her birth. However, according to Sasami's narration, that was only one possible future. With every choice they make they can change their fate. It's also told that Tenchi might not choose Sasami but she'll still care for Tenchi the same as always. An announcement from the creators of Tenchi Muyo! in Love 2 stated that TMIL2:EM marks the end of the Tenchi Universe, and thus it is unlikely that the manga will ever be proved/disproved as cannon.
| + | '''Omatsu Zenjitsu no Yoku Omake''' is a hentai doujin done by Kajishima Masaki, the original creator of Sasami and co-creator of the entire Tenchi Muyo franchise. In it, a now-teenage Sasami (in a school uniform) watches Tenchi and Noiki having sex and later masterbates under a tree. The most notable thing about this doujin is that as a Kajishima doujin, it is part of the official OAV storyline, taking place only six or seven years after the anime. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Tenchi in Tokyo==
| + | '''Dream of Hot Spring''' is a Love Hina hentai in which Narusegawa Naru has sex with Keitaro while cosplaying as Pretty Samy. |
| − | As with most of the characters, Sasami's personality became much louder than before. Her moods are more erratic, given to bouts of juvenile anger and sulking. She becomes friends with Yugi, before learning Yugi's true nature, but remains her friend until the end of the series.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==Pretty Sammy/Magical Project S== | + | ==Related Lolis== |
| − | The OVA and TV versions of Pretty Sammy have a completely re-worked Sasami. Now she is '''Sasami Kawai''' |河合 砂沙美| Kawai Sasami; in the OAV she is the daughter of a failed singer turned record-store owner named Chihiro Kawai and sister to Tenchi Kawai; in the Tv version her parents are Ginji & Honoka Kawai, also record-store owners and she has no siblings.
| + | [[Amano Misao]], |
| − | | + | [[Pixie Misa]], |
| − | An ordinary young girl, Sasami was granted magical powers by Tsunami, who is in line to become queen of a magical realm (planet in the TV version) called Juraihelm. She battles an enemy called [[Pixy Misa]], who is secretly Sasami's best friend, [[Misao Amano]]. The ''Pretty Sammy'' series was originaly created as a parody of the Magical Girl genre.
| + | [[Ryo-Ohki]], |
| − | | + | [[Hakubi Washu]], |
| − | ==Hasegawa novels==
| + | [[Neju Ne Melmas]], |
| − | A series of books written by Naoko Hasegawa, a former scriptwriter for the OVA. The novels branch off after episode 6 of the OVA series. These novels were never translated however, so little is known about the character development in this time-line.
| + | [[Haida Konoha]], |
| − | | + | [[Date Eime]], |
| − | ==Manatsu no Eve/Daughter of Darkness==
| + | [[Hakari]], |
| − | The Hasagawa novel Manatsu no Eve was made into a movie, and is the only contact most non-Japanese fans have had with this continuity. Sasami seems to have the same persona as her Tenchi Universe counterpart, and demonstrates no special powers or a connection to Tsunami-kami-sama. Sasami has more screen-time as she befriends Mayuka, Tenchi and Yuzuha's (the antagonist in this film) genetic daughter.
| + | [[Anri]], |
| − | | + | [[Tsukasa]], |
| − | ==Okuda manga==
| + | [[Makoto]] |
| − | Two official manga series have been created by Hitoshi Okuda - No Need For Tenchi and Shin Tenchi Muyo! (aka The All-New Tenchi Muyo!). Based on the OVA series and branching off after episode 13.5. The manga series generally has a lighter attitude than the anime series and the characters personalities reflect this. Sasami has a much more open relationship with Tsunami-kami-sama, who herself is more breezy than her own OVA counterpart, possibly due to Sasami's influence, but more likely by Okuda-sensei wanting to write her that way. Sasami is the only person, in the manga or the anime, that Tenchi has said the words "I love you" to. In volume 5 of the second manga series, Sasami's age is given as 709 years.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Sasami: Mahou Shoujo Club==
| + | |
| − | The magical girl anime ''Sasami: Mahou Shoujo Club'' again reworked Sasami as '''Sasami Iwakura''' |岩倉 砂沙美| Iwakura Sasami. Although superficial changes to her include the total absence of the mark on her forehead, and her freckles, she is still fairly recognizable. (In fact, rather than Chisa Yokoyama, child voice actress Mana Ogawa plays the voice of the character to make her sound more like a child.)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In this anime, Sasami is a fifth-grader who has magical powers since birth. But she has been forbidden by her parents to use those powers since age three; she still practices it, but in secret. It is after she and her new friend Misao find out about the secret of her new teacher Washu Kozuka that she becomes a member of the latter's magical girl club and maximize the use of her magical power.
