I think I first saw "Ronin Warriors" back in fourth grade, starting with the episode just after Sage, Sai, and Kento were captured. That left me learning all about Ryo's and Rowin's characters, interspersed with some Mia (ew.) and Yuli (devil-spawn.). After instantly disliking the self-pity poster child (a.k.a. Ryo), Rowin was incredibly appealing. Then again, I was in fourth grade. Anyone with blue hair was cool to me then. After rediscovering the Ronin Warriors series a few years ago in eighth grade, I started with almost the same episode, and fell in love with Rowin's cunning, his voice, his intellect, and his to die for looks. Now, when I watch so many different anime series, Rowin is still one of the best. Aleksa's Comments: Could he be any hotter, people?? Yes, I'll admit that I'm still fairly new to the whole anime adventure, but as far as my grasp has reached, Rowen is my all-time favorite character. I don't even know if I can articulate myself to do him justice... As if the hair wasn't enough to fall in love with, he's cool, collected, intelligent, sexy....do I have to go on? His character is well thought out, his voice is totally sexy, and the wide world of fanfiction has expanded his character into godhood, IMSHO. Not to mention that he's one of the few characters I've written - not of my own creation - that can be both a psychotic-but-adorable sugar addict or an angst-ridden warrior without anyone questioning the clarity of his character whatsoever. Unless I'm missing something? Anyway, not only is his personality enough to make many fall head-over-heels in love, but he's as kawaii as they come! I could go on, but do I really have to? ^_^ Extras: Armor of Strata! - a .wav file of Rowin's henshin phrase Arrow Shock Wave! - a .wav file of Rowin's sure-kill Collage - a teenage Rowin, plus two young Rowins sleeping and studying (kawaii!)
