KINGDOM: CHARACTERS

Posted by Unknown at 9:10 AM

Here's another awesome series started last July titled KINGDOM and is actually very nice. Though I kinda dislike the way how they animate it but the story was far beyond compare.

The story evolves around the politically troubled nation called Qin. As people spills blood for their beloved nation, heroism and patriotism prevails and loyalty is proven to be the most powerful weapon a king could ever have.

Characters below, enjoy!

KINGDOM: HYOU

An orphan, serves as slave to a richer family. He aims to be the best general together with his best friend Shin. Both trained and honed their skills with their hand made wooden sword. As the imperial palace is in commotion for the on going rebellion, Shobunkun accidentally meet him and made him the king's double since he fairly looks like him and it cost his life as the King's assassins are craving for his head.

KINGDOM: SHIN

As Shin is mourning by his best friend's death he is able to follow the wish given by Hyou in his dying hour to locate and protect the king. Though meeting up with Zheng was rough at first, since Shin blames the king for Hyou's death - he realizes that Hyou's dream is now in his shoulder and that he will be responsible to turn it into reality, and supporting with the king (Zheng) is the first move.

KINGDOM: YING ZHENG

The young king of Qin. He is exiled for his half brother's rebellion against his appointment as the next king. Together with the mountain folks, Shin, Diao and some of his loyal soldiers they plan an attack to the imperial palace to claim back the kingdom of Qin. He then promise to the mountain folks that once he can claim back the throne he will unify the whole china.

KINGDOM: DIAO
A descendant of the mountain tribe, and is the one who helped Zheng and Shin escaped from the village where zheng hides.

KINGDOM: SHOBUNKUN
Zheng's trusted general and is the one who help him regain the throne.

Other characters are the Chengjiao faction which compose of Chengjiao (Zheng half brother) and the rest of his supporters (haven't secure a good screen grab from them so- will update this one later on).
