Genjo Sanzo (玄奘三蔵 Genjō Sanzō) is one of the four main characters in the manga and anime series Saiyuki (Known as Gensomaden Saiyuki in Japan). His name is spelled Genjo Sanzo in the English anime and the Singapore English manga while in the North American English manga, it is Genjyo Sanzo.
His character is loosely based on that of the monk Sanzang, from the Chinese novel Journey to the West upon which the manga is based.
In the manga, Sanzo is featured with blond hair and amethyst eyes. Having lost his father figure (Komyo Sanzo) to demons, he is a rough character who carries a gun, excessively smokes, drinks, often abusing his traveling companions physically and verbally. He bears little resemblance to the holy man in the original novel.
