Miss
Washu is another of the essential characters--she is the greatest genius
in the universe! She also helps correct everything that Mihoshi messes
up (or destroys, or breaks, or sits on, or...). Washu created Ryoko and
Ryo-Ohki, and was the mentor of Kagato. Washu also has a tragic and unique
past. Because of these events, she resides in a 14-year-old form. In OAV
#8, we discover Washu's true form (and past). Wow! A buxom 22-year-old
redhead who can hardly keep her hands off of Tenchi!
Actually, Washu is 20,000 years old. She was kidnapped by Kagato and held for 700 years while Kagato brainwashed Ryoko and sent her out to do his dirty work. In the Tenchi Universe (TV series), it was Washu who was sealed in the cave--she is still the greatest genius in the universe, but is cast as an EVIL, MAD SCIENTIST! Hardly the same, gentle Washu we know in the OAVs. Although Tenchi Muyo! in Love movie is based on the TV series.Washu is a great addition to the series with her zany inventions, and cheering shoulder puppets. She is one of the contestants for Tenchi's love. She uses her brains to foil the plans of Ryoko and Ayeka. Washu's voice actor for the Japanese OAV is Kobayashi Yuko, and for the English dub is K.T. Vogt. |
