Tokimi is one of three beings known as Chousin - higher-level dimensional beings, the other two are her sisters Tsunami and Washu. All three sisters had wrestled for countless millennia over one question - was it possible that a being more powerful than themselves can be created. While Tsunami and Washu took separate paths to find out that question, Tokimi had remained in the Chousin's home dimension. With the assistance of the guardians of other dimensions, D3 being one of them, she manipulated random subspace fields to find out if doing that was possible. She had also enlisted others in her quest, like Dr. Clay. One of those manipulations had produced promising results: during a space battle, the being known as Z had gained immense power, which included the Lighthawk wings. In order to study him more closely, Tokimi had taken Z as her servant. However, she had found that Z was erratic and hot-headed; most likely he would destroy the universe is left unchecked. So she continued her quest until a message from Dr. Clay had led her back to her departed sisters... and someone they were watching, someone else who also had the power of the Lighthawk wings - Tenchi Masaki. Intrigued, she ordered Z to observe Tenchi but not to interfere. Z, however, saw Tenchi as a threat to him, and initiated steps to have the boy killed, but made it appear to look like someone else had did it. He had altered a message Mihoshi had sent to her family, which her grandfather Minami had sent her brother Misao to kill Tenchi. But when that plan failed, Z took matters into his own hands, the end results having Earth nearly destroyed and Z fighting Tenchi near Saturn. It was just as Z was about to strike a fatal blow when Tokimi finally intervened. However, Z was also prepared. He had enlisted the aid of a being known as 'The Counter-Actor', which had two forms - a red ring which had surrounded Tenchi, preventing Tokimi from offering aid to him. Later, when the rest of the Chousin sisters were called upon to contain Tenchi's out-of-control energies, the Counter-Actor took a different form - a demonic version of Empress Misaki, and in this form, the Counter-Actor strangled Tokimi. However, Tenchi was able to regain control of his power and calmed the Counter-Actor before Tokimi was killed. Later, when Misao and Minami Kuramitsu and Mashisu were called by Mikami Kuramitsu for their part in trying to kill Tenchi that Tokimi showed another form... that of a small child. Tokimi had to leave in order to set right abnormalities in the universe, but returned to the Masaki home just in time for the wedding of Nobuyuki and Rea Masaki. Tokimi also used her powers when it was discovered that some of Noike's cells were tampered with... they all had the logo of Dr. Clay on them. The source of this was that within Noike was the little girl that had haunted her dreams. Tokimi had removed the girl from Noike and Washu removed Dr. Clay's tampering. It also turned out that the little girl was actually the discarded female half of Kagato. After it was done, Tokimi returned her to Noike. It is uncertain if Tokimi will remain with the Masaki clan.

Birthday: August 2 Zodiac sign: Leo Height: 163.1 cm Weight: 48.9 kg Blood type: B Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage. She is one of the legendary Sannin. After his failed invasion of Konoha, Orochimaru approaches Tsunade to get her to heal his arms. While she initially refuses, Orochimaru offers to revive Dan and Nawaki in exchange for healing his arms. Intrigued, Tsunade is left a week to consider the matter. Once meeting Uzumaki Naruto, Tsunade begins to remember the dreams of her two loved ones and how much they loved the village of Konoha. While she longs to see them both again, Tsunade ultimately is unable to bring herself to help Orochimaru, his hopes of destroying Konoha too strong to ignore. Determined to protect the village her loved ones held dear until the end of their lives, Tsunade battles with Orochimaru and eventually defeats him. Having accepted the title of Fifth Hokage, Tsunade returns to Konoha afterwards. Since becoming Hokage, Tsunade has primarily acted as a source of assignments, and mobilizes Konoha's forces when need be. In addition, Tsunade plays a large role in healing the more severe injuries that befall upon those she sends on missions. At the end of Part I, Haruno Sakura becomes Tsunade's apprentice. Tsunade's trademark ability is her inhuman strength, which is derived from her excellent chakra control. By storing chakra and releasing it at the point of contact, she can enhance her strength to the point where she can break through boulders with her bare hands. She is also an extremely talented Medical-nin, and can heal wounds that most others would consider impossible. As a result of her chakra control and her medical abilities, Tsunade has created a form of regeneration. So she really is near 50 years old, but looks like she were in her twenties.
Age: 14 (debut), 24 (end) Birthdate: November 5, 1993 Blood Type: B Height: 162cm Weight: 44kg Azuki is Mashiro's classmate. Her dream is to be a voice actor. She agreed to marry Mashiro when both of their dreams come true. However, she also told him that in the mean time, they should not have any distractions so they will contact each other only through emails. Her best friend is Kaya Miyoshi. Although her outer image is shy, she is a very mysterious girl. It is sometimes hard to know what she is thinking about. After securing her role as the main heroine in Ashirogi Muto's "Reversi," she finally receives a proper marriage proposal from Mashiro, which she accepts. They begin living in her old house which Mashiro purchased and are married following Ashirogi Muto's next serialization.
Age: 40 (currently) Birthday: June 23, 1978 Yoshida is Hiramaru Kazuya's editor. He tells the chief-editor in the meeting about his genius, which led to Hiramaru's serialization. He is able to ignore Hiramaru's personality. He is also a Captain, meaning he gets to sit in the serialization meetings and lead the other editors in his team, like Yamahisa. Yoshida is perhaps the most manipulative of the editors shown. When he realizes that forcing Hiramaru to work isn't applicable to an efficient and/or long-running series, he bribes him with rich items or information about Aoki Ko in order to get him back to work and pay off the debts he owes for buying such items. Yoshida is able to keep this running for an extended period of time (throughout the 200 chapters of Otters 11), even threatening Hiramaru with disassociation with Shueisha if he does not get serialized again after Otters 11 gets canceled. Yoshida's reason and rationality are even more key to his character. He is able to deduce that Niizuma Eiji was responsible for +Natural's artwork and worries that Hiramaru's manga will take a dive if he asks Aoki Ko out and gets rejected, knowing that Hiramaru most probably will get rejected. This reasoning has its limits, however, as Yoshida was greatly surprised that Aoki accepted Hiramaru's proposal, though it would later scratch away most of Hiramaru's negativity and cause a dive in his manga quality.
Age: 19 Orihara is a young assistant who worked with Ashirogi Muto on "Run, Daihatsu Tanto!". He is a very energetic and cheerful character that tends to get loud due to his excitement, may it be about work or something else.

He works as an assistant again, when they start publishing "Perfect Crime Party".
Age: 18 (debut) Shiratori Shun is an assistant for Ashirogi Muto's Perfect Crime Party and the mangaka of Rabuta & Peace. Shiratori comes from a wealthy family and has a sister. He applied to be Eiji Nizuma's assistant, but the editors had already filled that position, so he was instead hired as Ashirogi Muto's assistant. He was rejected from art school and didn't think he would make a good mangaka, but when he saw an advertisement to be an assistant he took the chance, not wanting to mooch off his parents anymore. Shiratori is a happy boy with simple emotions who easily blushes. He speaks what he feels. He loves art and feels that it should be seen and enjoyed by thousands of people. That is why he draws manga as opposed to his grandfather, who purchased art and kept it in his house where people rarely saw it. (Source: Bakuman Wikia)
