Kan'u, Unchou
関羽 雲長
In the anime:
Her personality mirrors the manga. In the first series, Kan'u appears in only two episodes to fight Ryomou and Hakufu (including Hakufu's dragon-mode). Kan'u's over-confidence leads to her arm being broken by Ryomou. She then gets serious and defeats Ryomou using only her legs and left arm, yet still manages to win a second fight against Hakufu while the latter is in her dragon state. Kan'u was expected to win the toushi tournament before unexpectedly forfeiting after her fight with Hakufu. Animation-wise, this version of Kan'u shows both eyes, featuring a completely different hairstyle and look compared to the manga and second season (though she is not completely one-eyed in the second season; both eyes appear in a few brief scenes). The blade part of her weapon is never shown in the first series. The Seito school color also appears to be teal instead of blue.
In Ikki Tousen Dragon Destiny, Kan'u resembles the manga version in appearance. Like her predecessor in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, she is a pivotal character in the series' events, living out her destiny as Ryuubi's protector and one of the strongest toushi alive. As the main character in this sequel, Kan'u's invincibility is toned down to make her more believable; she is not portrayed as strong as in the manga and the first anime series. Kan'u is less flirty, less confident, and insecure, with her intentions toward Ryuubi being more obvious. She even admits her love for Ryuubi to Koukin.
When she sides with Sousou and Hakufu looks to challenge Sousou to a fight, Kan'u accepts the fight on his behalf. She is seen in a new dark, yet still revealing costume, possibly serving as a metaphor for defecting to Kyosho's evil leader. However, Kan'u's loyalty to Ryuubi does not waver, nor does her superiority over other toushi (as Chou-un pointed out and later proven by Kan'u herself when she broke free of her handcuffs using her own power; she could have left Kyosho if she wanted to). She makes it clear to Kakouton that she will kill Sousou if he attempts to assault Seito or harm Ryubi in any way. Kakouton tells her to leave Kyosho, and she returns to her own school. However, she takes Chou-un's advice to stay away from Ryuubi, allowing Ryuubi to blossom as Seito's leader. She returns at the Battle of Chibi to protect Ryuubi. At the end of the series, Kan'u remains with Ryuubi as her guardian and close friend. A joke at the end features Ryuubi recommending Kan'u read a book called Ikki Tousen. The book is meant to be Romance Of the Three Kingdoms, which the series is based on. In the third season, she has finally come to terms with her feelings for Ryubi Gentoku (who seems unaware) and fantasizes about Ryubi doing intimate things with her on numerous occasions.
