Usagi Tsukino (月野 㠆㠕㠎, Tsukino Usagi, renamed "Serena
Tsukino" or "Bunny Tsukino" in some foreign adaptations), also known
as Sailor Moon (セーラームーン, SÄ"rÄ MÅ«n), is a fictional
superheroine who is the main protagonist and title character of the
Sailor Moon manga series written by Naoko Takeuchi. She is introduced
in chapter #1, "Usagi â€" Sailor Moon" (originally published in
Japan's Nakayoshi magazine on December 28, 1991), as a carefree
schoolgirl who can transform into Sailor Moon, the de facto leader of
the Sailor Soldiers. Initially believing herself to be an ordinary
girl, she is later revealed to be the reincarnated form of the
Princess of the Moon Kingdom, and she subsequently discovers her
original name, Princess Serenity (プリンセス・セレニティ,
Purinsesu Sereniti).In Sailor Moon, Usagi meets Luna, a magical
talking black cat that is searching for the Moon Princess. Luna
reveals that Usagi is destined to save Earth from the forces of evil
and gives her a brooch to transform into Sailor Moon. She asks Usagi
to form the Sailor Soldiers, find their princess and protect the
"Silver Crystal". As Usagi matures, she becomes a powerful warrior and
protects her adopted home planet, Earth, from villains who wish to
harm it. Usagi is depicted as usually carefree and cheerful, but with
cry-baby tendencies that show themselves when things don't go her
way.As the protagonist, Usagi appears in every episode, film, and
television special of the anime adaptations, Sailor Moon and Sailor
Moon Crystal; as well as the live action adaptation, Pretty Guardian
Sailor Moon. She also cameos in the sister series Codename: Sailor V.
She has been the subject of parodies and has appeared in special
events. Most Western audiences were introduced to Usagi appearing in
the Sailor Moon anime, which is an adaptation of the manga series.
Usagi's critical reception has been largely positive and she is
recognized as one of the most important and popular female superheroes
of all time.
