thanks for the link. i've always wandered why they got an actress to play that role and not an actor.Originally Posted by GoktimusPrime
I've since learnt that Tripitaka was played Masako Natsume (a woman!)
so this sure explains a lot:
That part where you guys are talking about Son Gokuu confirms my suscpicion when i was young that the dragonball cartoon series was based (rip off?) on monkey magic."...Apparently, the real Tripitaka who went to India to collect the Buddhist scriptures was said to have been a very good looking monk (don't laugh!) and that his looks were akin to the beauty of a woman (hence female Masako Natsume plays him). After "Monkey" was aired, everyone got the impression that Tripikata has to be played by a (pretty) girl. So Tripitaka is played by one in all the remakes of "Monkey"!..."
hey jhiaxus, is that drawing coloured using photoshop or actual pantone markers?
