List of Sailor Moon characters

The ''Sailor Moon'' manga series features an extensive cast of characters created by Naoko Takeuchi. The series takes place in Tokyo, Japan, where the , a group of ten magical girls, are reincarnated to combat an assortment of antagonists attempting to take over Tokyo, the Earth and eventually, the Milky Way galaxy. Each Soldier has a transformation sequence which grants her a uniform in her own theme-colors and her own kind of elemental power;〔
〕 these powers come from an object called a "Sailor Crystal" said to be within each of them.〔 ("All of the sailor soldiers have Sailor Crystals, with the power of their planets hidden inside themselves." )〕 The ten Soldiers are named after planets of the Solar System, with the exception of Earth. While many of the characters are humans with superhuman strength and/or magical abilities, the cast also includes anthropomorphic animals and later, extraterrestrial lifeforms.
The series follows the adventures of the titular protagonist, Sailor Moon, her lover Tuxedo Mask, and her guardians: Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. They are later joined by Sailor Chibi Moon (Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask's daughter from the future) and four more Soldiers: Sailors Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn, who defend the Solar System from external threats. The series' antagonists include the Dark Kingdom, the Black Moon Clan, the Death Busters, the Dead Moon Circus, and Shadow Galactica.
Takeuchi's initial vision was a story called ''Codename: Sailor V'', in which Sailor Venus discovers her magical powers and protects the people of Earth. After ''Codename: Sailor V'' was proposed for an anime adaptation, Takeuchi changed the concept to include five female superheroes who defend the galaxy. The manga's anime and live-action adaptations feature some original characters not created by Takeuchi, but by the animation staff.
==Creation and conception==
Naoko Takeuchi initially wrote ''Codename: Sailor V'', a one-shot manga which focused on Sailor Venus. When ''Sailor V'' was proposed for an anime adaptation by Toei Animation, Takeuchi changed the concept to include Sailor Venus as a part of a "sentai" (team of five) and created the characters of Sailors Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter. The name "Sailor Senshi", or "Sailor Soldier", comes from sailor fuku, a type of Japanese school uniform that the main characters' fighting uniforms are based on, and the Japanese word ''senshi'', which can mean "soldier", "warrior", "guardian", or "fighter". Takeuchi named the term by fusing English and Japanese elements. The DIC Entertainment/Cloverway English adaptation of the anime changed it to "Sailor Scout" for most of its run. According to Takeuchi, only females can be Sailor Soldiers,〔 although the series features at least one male character with a Sailor Crystal (Tuxedo Mask). In the anime's fifth season, the Sailor Starlights are depicted as men transforming into women when changing from their civilian forms into Sailor Soldiers (rather than just being women merely disguising as men as they appear in the manga), which strongly displeased Takeuchi as she felt this undermined her rule that only girls could be Sailor Soldiers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BLACK MOON - Sailor Moon, created by Naoko Takeuchi )
Takeuchi desired to create a series about girls in outer space; her editor, Fumio Osano, suggested that Takeuchi add the "sailor suit" motif in the uniform worn by the Sailor Soldiers. Originally, each of the Soldiers were intended to have their own unique outfit;〔(Materials Collection - First Series )〕 however, it was later determined that they would wear uniforms based on a single theme, and Sailor Moon's costume concept was the closest to that which would eventually be used for all the girls.〔()〕 The first uniform of the Soldiers allowed some differences (shoe style, sleeves, gloves), while in later stages of character design Takeuchi settled on a more unified appearance.〔(1996 Nakayosi December front matter. )〕 Within the Sailor Team, only the outfit worn by Sailor Venus during her time as Sailor V varies significantly from the others;〔(Supplement to the September 1992 Nakayoshi. )〕 however, Sailor Moon, whatever form she takes, always has a more elaborate costume than any of the others. She also gains individual power-ups more frequently than any other character. Sailor Soldiers originating from outside the Solar System generally have very different and widely varying outfits; however, one single feature — the sailor collar — connects them all.
Most of the villains in the series have names that are related to minerals and gemstones, including Queen Beryl and her Four Kings of Heaven, the Black Moon Clan, Kaolinite and the Witches 5, Zirconia, her pet Zircon, the Amazon Trio, and Xenotime and Zeolite. Members of the Amazoness Quartet are named after the first four asteroids to be discovered. The Sailor Animamates have the prefix "Sailor" (despite not being true Sailor Soldiers in the manga),〔Act 45.〕 followed by the name of a metal and the name of an animal.
