Chiriko

張宿

Chiriko (張宿?) is the youngest and most brilliant of the seven Celestial Warriors of Suzaku. Born in Jozen in western Kōnan, Chiriko is shown studying for a government official examination during his first appearance. In addition to his remarkable intellect, Chiriko uses a leaf flute against his opponents. He is thirteen years old. His true name is Doukon Ou (王道煇, Ō Dōkon?), born under the star Extended Net (張).
Chiriko's intelligence actually stems from his role as a Celestial Warrior, and when that aspect of his character fades, he becomes a rather ordinary child with limited intelligence. This restriction on his powers, combined with being the youngest and physically weakest in the group, is a source of frustration for Chiriko. He is particularly sensitive about his height and his unusual intelligence and strives to become a "man of strength", but is otherwise a quiet and good-natured student. Since a very young age, Chiriko has held a strong interest in research and has amassed a great deal of knowledge through books and study.
