Genji

Genji is the male protagonist of Seiji Tanaka's 1988 Ultima-inspired  manga,  Ultima: The Terror of Exodus.

Description
Genji is a human space pilot living in the colonized asteroid belt of Earth's future. While responding to a mayday signal from a local archeological expedition in mining expedition, Genji falls victim to a strange seeming gravitational collapse of space which transposes him into the land of Sosaria. His forehead etched with the prophetic Mark of the Dragon, Genji is soon drawn into the quest to save the realm from the threat of Exodus, fulfilling his destiny as one of the four foretold warriors.

Having lived most of his life in the overpopulated colonies of the Terran Solar System, Genji is deeply moved by Sosaria's verdant landscape and by the numerous animals which come to settle in the holy city of Yew - not understanding why the natives of the realm don't assign them more importance. Direct and often tactless, Genji often seems out of place within the high fantasy setting into which he has been thrust, although his loyalty to the other heroes and to the quest he is tasked with becomes quite deep over the course of the story.

Genji shares a deep connection with the cleric Aida, whom he has dreamed of for many years prior to meeting her. It is eventually revealed that Minax, resurrected by Exodus' power, will send Aida into the Terran's past through her own sorcery, causing the woman to encounter Genji throughout his lifetime at varying points. While Genji reveals to Aida at the point of her near death that there is much he wishes to tell her and it is evident that they care for one another deeply, it is unclear if the two warriors will pursue a romantic future together at the novel's end.

Genji's "seal," bestowed upon him in Ambrosia, takes the form of his magic sword, which he uses to slay the revived Mondain and to eventually help to banish the freed Exodus.
