Saiyuki

 aka "Paradise Raiders"

Updated 04/04/2002

Introduction:

The origins of Saiyuki actually go back to a old Chinese legend that has already seen a few different incarnations. As with most anime series, this one began as a manga serial. A quick summary of the story: Humans and Demons share a peaceful and harmonious co-existence until someone uses a combination of science and magic to try and revive a dormant evil demon. A priest, Sanzo, is teamed up with three demons who appear as humans - Hakkai, Gojyo and Goku. The foursome head out West to confront and stop the evil wreaking havok in their world. The final character in the plush set below is Kougaiji, a nemesis to the four heroes. 

The following toys were made by Banpresto.
