"Ace Attorney" and main character of the first three games, Phoenix has wanted to be a defense lawyer since he was a kid, and first appears as the new addition to Mia Fey's law practice. Personality: Phoenix is generally easy-going, which usually leads to his friends leading him around. He's dedicated to defending his innocent clients, but because he's just starting out he depends a lot on his boss and mentor, Mia Fey. Phoenix is also a loyal friend who won't back down once he's set his mind on something. He has a bit of a sarcastic side that he usually keeps to himself. Misc Facts: Phoenix does not have a driver's license or a car. It's also a little unclear where he actually lives... In the original game art for Gyakuten Saiban, Naruhodou was pictured with brown eyes. In the new DS art, however, he's pictured with blue eyes. This has led to the fan opinion that Naruhodou has brown eyes, while Phoenix's are blue. Phoenix has been known to tip cows (in the American version). The first suggestion for Phoenix's Japanese name was "Souka Naruhodo" ("Oh, yes, I see now") but that was quickly struck down by higher members of the staff. They settled for just Naruhodou instead. Director Takumi speculates that before studying to become a lawyer, Phoenix may have gone to college to become a Shakespearean actor. Character artist Suekana, however, prefers to think he would have been a manga artist. Phoenix was portrayed by voice actor Takayuki Kondou in the TGS special cases. His other roles include Hiroto Honda (Tristen) in Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Takani in Busou Renkin. Dahlia's nickname for Phoenix is "Feenie" (Ryu-chan originally). Friends and Family: Phoenix is an only child, but he's close friends with Larry Butz prior to the game, and is Mia Fey's employee. No reference as to his parents. Name Origin: English: "Phoenix" comes as a reference to his uncanny ability to turn around cases which were almost lost (as the phoenix comes back from the dead). "Wright" is simply a pun ("Is that right, Mr. Wright?"). Japanese: "Naruhodou" comes from the Japanese word "naruhodo," which means, "I see" or "Is that so?" Ryuuichi is simply a name the creator liked (though its use of the kanji for dragon is played upon in GS3). In Phoenix Wright, the Feys call Phoenix "Nick," as a shortened form of "Phoenix." In Gyakuten Saiban, they call him "Naruhodo-kun." (Source: Court Records)
Sheltis is the main character of the light novel 'Hyouketsu Kyoukai no Eden'. At the start of the first volume he is described as a 14-15 year old boy with tea-colored hair, which almost looks like purple, and an androgynous face. Though that is the case, most of the novel takes place 3 years after when Sheltis is seventeen. He is known to wear the old ceremonial clothes of Tenketsu Palace despite the new uniform being white. He used to live in Tenketsu Palace of the Floating Continent with his childhood friend Ymy, but was later banished from the tower after an incident where he fell into the Garden of Corrupted Song and his body's spiritual power (Shinryoku) was replaced with the opposite force (Mateki). This occurred during a mission and not many people knew about, as it would cause an uproar if a person who possessed Mateki was known. Due to this, Sheltis was forced to live in the Living Sector for three year and worked at a cafe with a girl called Eyriey and a child named Yuto. During Sheltis's time in Tenketsu Palace, he was a high ranking guard whom astounded many people with his fighting abilities. His goal in becoming a guard was to protect Ymy as her Sennenshi, who wanted to become a priestess. He wields Dual Swords coated in Shinryoku due to his inability to use a Great Sword. His swords became a purple color after gaining Mateki and often spars with his other friend Leon. After a series of events, Sheltis regains the permission to go back to Tenketsu Palace but all data of his previous status was lost, causing him to start from cadet guard and have to work his way back in the ranks without people knowing about his Mateki. Sheltis's mateki is said to be quite strong as it is able to cause with Ymy's Shinryoku. It is also said that he fell to one of the lowest floors of the Garden of Corrupted Song , as he knows the song that can only be heard in those areas, though he does not have much of a recollection of his time there.
Ryutaros (リュウタãƒã‚¹) is the fourth Imagin that gives Ryotaro his power, which allows for the transformation into Den-O Gun Form. His natural weapon as an Imagin is a shotgun named the Ryuvolver (リュウボルãƒ�ー). Though he is the last Imagin to appear, Ryutaros initially possessed Ryotaro the moment that Urataros did, and simply hid himself from the others. Ryutaros reveals himself in his form when he is attracted by Naomi's coffee inside the DenLiner. Ryutaros is most childish in personality with a love for drawing and animals. Ryutaros also appears to enjoy break dancing, to the point to that it is incorporated into his flashy fighting style. His personality is one of a fun-loving dancer/disc jockey and is the most dominant Den-O has. This recklessness also causes the most collateral damage, as he fires his gun aimlessly. When he possesses Ryotaro, he first asks "Is it okay if…?" (…ã�„ã�„?, …Ii?, usually "Is it okay if I beat you up?" or "Is it okay if I end it?") followed by "Your answer doesn't matter" (ç”ã�ˆã�¯è�žã�„ã�¦ã�ªã�„, Kotae wa kiitenai).He has the ability to control people simply by snapping his fingers. This tactic works with summoning the Machine DenBird as well. Originally, Ryutaros possesses Ryotaro after being promised the title of become the DenLiner's conductor by Kai, who also gives the Imagin a ticket, on the condition that he destroys Ryotaro. However, because he does not wish for Airi to cry, Ryutaros decides not to destroy Ryotaro. The only individual he will listen to is Airi, whom he affectionately calls "sis" (ã�Šå§‰ã�¡ã‚ƒã‚“, onee-chan, Ryotaro only calls her the more formal "sister" (姉ã�•ã‚“, nee-san)). Because he knows that Airi has loved Yuto Sakurai, and from faulty advice on love from Kintaros, he becomes jealous of Yuto and wishes to show that he is stronger than him. But when Kai takes matters in his own hands in killing him, combined with realizing how he and Airi can not to be together, Ryutaros matures a bit to cope with fading away while eventually mustering courage to fight in the final battle against Kai. He usually refers to Urataros, Kintaros, Sieg, Teddy respectively as "Turtle-chan" (カメã�¡ã‚ƒã‚“, Kame-chan), "Bear-chan" (クマã�¡ã‚ƒã‚“, Kuma-chan), "Bird-san" (トリã�•ã‚“, Tori-san), and "Blue Bear-chan" (é�’クマã�¡ã‚ƒã‚“, Aoikuma-chan). However, he excludes Momotaros as he is not based on an animal and Momotaros does not understand him like the others do. He is referred to by the others as "Ryuta" (リュウタ, RyÅ«ta?). After this initial arrival on the DenLiner, he is rarely seen without a pair of headphones over his head. One of the TarÅ�s, Ryutaros's basis is unclear as early promotional material stated his form to be based on the legend of Tatsu no KotarÅ� (Taro the Dragon Boy) while TV Asahi's website for Den-O states that his form is based on Ryotaro's mental image of dragons. One of the Imagin Anime shorts discusses Ryutaros's possible namesake.
Kintaros is the physically strongest of the Imagin that are linked to Ryotaro and speaks Kansai-ben. He originally possessed a man named Masaru Honj�, but joins Ryotaro when Den-O is unable to defeat the Rhino Imagin. He is mostly found sleeping on the DenLiner, but will possess Ryotaro whenever he hears someone say anything resembling "cry" (泣�る� nakeru de). As Den-O, he lives up to his namesake and fights with an axe as Axe Form, has primary control of the left arm in Climax Form, and his power is tapped in the DenKamen Sword's KinAx mode.
Anju is Karin's younger sister and she absolutely loves her, close to the point of obsession. She will do anything for Karin. She has not quite awakened as a vampire, causing her to be somewhat sensitive to the sun, and resulting in her only attending school on overcast days. However, she does have an amazing control over bats despite this. Anju is very reserved, speaking in a quiet manner and wears a Gothic Lolita attire. Boogie-kun is her companion, whom she carries around and is her favorite of her dolls, something she enjoys collecting. In the anime, Anju's blood preference is jealousy when she awakens. In the manga, it's loneliness.
