Saiyuki is a story of 4 unusual guys taking a journey to the west to defeat the evil.
Genjo Sanzo, the leader, is a high priest that is well respected.The thing is that he isn't your idealistic monk. He smokes, drinks, curses, kills, eats meat and doesn't have much interest in the religion. But despite that he is a good monk...when he wants to be, and though he doesn't show it, he cares...sometimes.
Then, there is Son Goku, a 500-year-old delinquent boy, aka monkey god. Although he is 500 years old, he has the face and body of a 18 year-old. Goku likes to eat, sleep and have fun. But he's loud and annoying so, Sanzo has to hit him across the head with his infamous paper fan to shut him up while yelling "Uruse baka saru!" (shut up dumbass ape). Goku is basically a loyal yet childish warrior with great power.
Cho Hakkai is a kind gentleman with a dark past. Although you see him wearing one of his friendly smiles, don't be fooled by it, as it's a mask to hide his true feelings. He's the only one who can make Sanzo actually be afraid of the group and the only one who isn't at war with one another.
There's the "Perverted Kappa" Sha Gojyo. He's your typical playboy. He loves girls, cigarettes and beer. That's what his life revolves around. He has red hair and eyes showing that he is a hybrid of demon and human. Not always the nicest to Goku but he's really an older brother to him.
This unlikely group of heroes goes through countless obstacles to accomplish their mission. As they travel their dark pasts' get slowly unraveled as well...
