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 design 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 more outstanding.Part of that is based on the book "Suikoden" and his fan comes from the book "Saiyuki" because it just came up to me while talking about Oosaka,hahaha. Although you 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.

...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 more on the "time" application of the Four Gods formation.The moon's orbit was used by the ancient Chinese to measure the passing of seasons, each season represented by 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 by the four guardians deities mentioned before.
