英国

**英国**（イギリス, *Igirisu*）是**《黑塔利亚》**漫画、动漫等系列作品的主角之一。他代表着大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国（United Kingdom）及英格兰（England），是联合国的成员。英配当中称其为**不列颠**（Britain），这是用来指代**大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国**的一种非正式的简写方式。2008年，日丸屋秀和给部分角色起了角色名，他的角色名为**亚瑟·柯克兰**（アーサー・カークランド, *Āsā Kākurando*）。

## 外貌特征

*主条目：Uniform Guide: England*

英国有着乱乱的金色短发和酸橙绿的眼睛。 据法国描述，英国的身材相当苗条。二战中，他身穿绿色军装，本质是件绿色夹克，军装外系着武装带（位于右肩及腰带上方），以及塞进靴子中的绿色长裤和白色衬衫（在实体漫画/网络漫画中衬衫颜色泛黄），衬衫上系着一条绿色领带，颜色比制服要略深一些，及一双几乎能漫过膝盖的棕色长靴。

日丸屋秀和表示，英国大部分时间都穿着时髦的休闲装，当他出去玩时会穿得比较朋克。虽然明显英国修过眉毛，但他的眉毛依旧浓密突出。日丸屋秀和提到英国的眉毛是因为受到了诅咒才这么浓密。眉毛浓密是他和其弟弟西兰，以及澳大利亚、香港和瓦伊等人的共同特点。他恰好和法国一样高。

在初版漫画中，他的头发似乎是金黄色的，但在动漫版前四季中，变成了嫩黄色。动漫前四季也夸大了他的眉毛大小。

## 性格与爱好

英国是个爱空想、直言不讳、固执己见的人，在古典时期曾狠狠地收拾过同为海盗的西班牙。在现代他自诩自己是名彬彬有礼的绅士；然而，他实际上性格玩世不恭，讲话尖酸刻薄，并怀恋与渴望着自己曾经的光辉岁月。他经常使用英式词汇，如“Bloody（加强语气之意）”和“git（死鬼）“。他的厨艺不是一般糟，导致美国诉苦自己以前跟他一起混时，吃到的食物味道都”不咋地“。

很明显，英国也是所谓”丢三落四之王“，法国曾描述他”遇到无关本人和美国的麻烦时，会表现地成事不足败事有余“。他也被众多人认为精神总有点”游离“，毕竟他对魔法、精灵、仙子等幻想生物有着强烈的信仰。他会施展魔法，咒语与诅咒，也会召唤恶魔与其它魔法生物。不仅能与英国本土的魔法生物交流，他几乎能和任何超自然生物对话，比如能与日本民间传说中的妖怪和鬼魂互动。他也有一些幻想朋友，如飞飞兔、独角兽、仙子、侏儒和铁钩船长。但奇怪的是，直到芬兰给大家带来圣诞礼物，他才肯相信圣诞老人。尽管如此，英国经常嘲笑美国居然相信Tony的存在。

根据本家的设定，英国的兴趣包括刺绣、手工、文学、摇滚乐以及批驳美国电影。虽然他有点倒霉，但好歹有一副敏锐的大脑和极具创造力的思维。再据本家的设定，英国胆子很大，对鬼故事相当感兴趣，尤其是爱用鬼故事吓唬美国。他似乎也很坚持己见、意志坚定，不易屈服于压力与负担。他偶尔会表现出惊人的成熟，对待年幼和可爱的人群或魔法生物时会非常友善。他也有着强烈的责任感，当法国和美国不把事情严肃以待时，就会责备他们。在近期的设定中，本家指出，英国有着丰富且变幻无穷的魅力与个性，他也无法决定英国究竟是不是个严肃刻板的人。

或许因为他是个岛国，英国性格有些孤僻，喜欢独自工作。正因如此，他不懂表达自己，别人也经常误解他。他的角色定位是个自谦又傲娇的人。例如，虽然他常常处事严厉，但这绝不代表他没有温柔的一面，他似乎由衷地关心着其他国家。他喜欢给大家提建议，特别是提到他”这样做才不是因为担心你们！“，说明了他有点口是心非。尽管如此，他高度重视本国的自尊，致使他有时会表现得傲慢自大。虽然他对世界保持着愤世嫉俗且现实主义的看法，但据说他是个”睡前浪漫主义者“。喝醉后，他便会陶醉于念旧之中，到第二天早晨，他会假装无事发生。而且，每临近美国国庆日时，他的身体就会出现各种毛病，并且病情逐日恶化。

在一篇博客文章中，英国设定上是个旱鸭子，以此恶搞某些电影中的英国佬多么不会游泳。

本家曾提到过英国有兄弟，一位是**苏格兰**，另外两位可能是**威尔士**和**北爱尔兰**，他们讨厌英国，在孩提时就用扔石子和射箭的方式来把他赶走，甚至还寄信诅咒他。

## 人际关系

### 美国

*主条目：美国*

美国在很小的时候就被芬兰和瑞典发现了。芬兰告诉英国和法国他的存在，于是两人开始争谁该当小孩的哥哥，不过英国开始抽泣后，美国选择了他，毕竟这个可怜人的厨艺根本不能和法国相提并论。英国把他珍视为“亲兄弟”，只要一有时间他就会去看望美国，虽然之后需要花大笔时间回到欧洲。也只有美国能容忍的了英国的黑暗料理，英国表示很高兴，但美国久而久之也失去了“味觉”。他非常疼爱美国，会给美国玩具和衣服，甚至让美国因读了恐怖故事而失眠时睡在自己的床上。但某天，英国来访时，他惊讶地发现美国已经长大成人，并变得日益独立，不再需要依赖英国了。

不久后，独立战争爆发，美国为自己的自由与权利同英国作战。战争接近尾声时，英国本有机会亲手射杀美国，但他没那么做，他决定投降并允许美国独立。英国在他面前哭泣时，美国说着“你以前明明显得……那么高大…”。

这份记忆经常扰地英国心神不宁；某次喝醉后，他开始怀恋着曾经的时光，咒骂着美国丢下他独立（英国曾说过“有人让他心如刀绞”，大概指的是美国），尤其是到了美国国独立日，或者说美国的“生日”到来时。独立战争将两人的关系一刀两断，致使他们之间产生争吵与分歧。话虽如此，他们似乎也真心地关乎着彼此。

### 法国

*主条目：法国*

虽然英国和法国都是联合国的成员，但两国之间存在着根深蒂固的历史竞争。虽然他们经常会为琐事争吵，但他们似乎也对彼此保持着一定尊重，如果有第三方介入他们的争论中，两人就会迅速合为一伙。法国曾经试着与英国结婚来拯救自己的国家，但实际两人都相当不情愿。在以英国的童年为主题的漫画章节中，他经常被十岁出头的法国挑毛病。某次，他嘲笑英国不留长发，但英国头发长长后，却变成了一团乱。法国取笑他说，他会给英国剪成“酷酷的”风格，于是把英国的头发剪回了原样。In **Crossing Through the Year 1000**, the two younger countries are fooled into believing that the world will end soon, and England agrees to let France pretend to have conquered him, since it is only for a little while. They later reminisce about their childhood when Japan makes the same mistake. In the movie "Paint it White" they said "they have an undesirable relationship but indestructible and in their heart they get along very well".

### Sealand

Main Article: Sealand

Sealand is England's youngest brother, an abandoned naval fort who declared himself a nation at the end of WWII. The two always bicker because Sealand wants to be recognized as a full-fledged nation and often sneaks into conferences the other countries attend (such as the G8, in which Sealand pretended to be Canada). In **This Kind of Sealand is OO,** England has a nightmare about the earth around Sealand rising up, causing Sealand to become taller than him. Despite being called "Jerk England" and being promised that he will one day bow to him, England, though annoyed, does look out for Sealand.

### Seychelles

*Main Article: Seychelles*

During their first meeting in the Gakuen Hetalia universe, England snaps a dog collar onto Seychelles and claims her as his colony. He uses her like a servant in the game, though they occasionally are able to get along. In one of Seychelles's appearances in the comic, she is shown to be angry at England.

动漫
--

England first appeared in Episode 01 where he disagreed with America's plan to stop global warming and later fighting with France before being stopped by Germany.

In the anime, his hair is a more vivid yellow shade of blond, rather than the paler blond used in the manga illustrations.

## 角色名

The name **Arthur** is likely to be a reference to Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes series, who was famed for his obsession with fairies. It could also refer to the legendary King Arthur.

Before fans settled on the **Kirkland** rendering (which was more accurate from the katakana), some early fanworks referred to his last name as **Clarkland**.

## 你知道吗

* He is referred to as **United Kingdom**, or **UK** for short, in most merchandise and in his character design on the official anime website (and in some merchandise and fanworks, **The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland**, his full nation title). In other instances, however, he is referred to as **England**, most notably in Gakuen Hetalia and the English-language preview for **America's Cleaning Of The Storage**. The Japanese word *Igirisu* means *Britain* but is sometimes used to refer to England (normally rendered as *Ingurando* in katakana or *eikoku* in kanji) in colloquial speech. He is commonly referred to with either name by fans, though *England* tends to be used to differentiate him from his brothers (that represent the other parts of the UK). A note by Hidekaz Himaruya confirms that he would only be known as *England* to his brothers, while he would be known as *UK* to the others. However, the English dub refers to him as **Britain**. According to FUNimation, this was a request from the Japanese anime producers.

* Although he's always called *Igirisu* in the manga and anime, historically, he would be known as simply England up until the 18th century, when The Kingdom of Great Britain was formed, uniting both England and Scotland (the *Act of Union of Wales and England* had already taken place 1536-1543). In the early 19th century, Ireland was added, creating The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. After Ireland split to declare itself independent in 1919, the Irish War of Independence waged until 1922, when it became the *Irish Free State*. Six of the 32 counties of Ireland (mostly from the province of Ulster where there was a great English/Scottish population) rejoined the UK while the other 26 counties formed the Republic of Ireland.
* A **UK** character is actually first seen at the end of **Hetalia: Chapter 1**, however, his design was not yet completely finalized. He appears as a short-haired man with a *UK* label on his shirt and with somewhat thinner eyebrows. Notes in the special booklet for the third volume of the published manga reveal that England was originally to have normal eyebrows, as well as have the appearance of a middle-aged man who dressed much younger. Himaruya decided to give him thicker eyebrows, as he liked the idea of a character having brows modeled after a Shiba Inu.
* He appears to be modeled after the character **Hikone Kalom** from Himaruya's other webcomic **Barjona Bombers**, though he is the exact opposite of Kalom in personality.
* His birthday could be referred to the 23rd of April, or St. George's Day.
* Himaruya once stated that his eyebrows are actually trimmed, although they don't appear that way since they still remain thick in appearance. He has also stated that **Ireland** has thicker eyebrows, but with a "different feel" to them.
* It is possible that he has a tattoo, for he mentions in his version of Marukaite Chikyuu that "My tattoo really hurts, but it's a hot six-string!" (*six-string* meaning *electric guitar*).
* According to a blog post (11/14/10), ironically, island nation and former pirate England, can not swim (in reference to English people in movies,) although, historically, many pirates could not swim. Although, in the *Gakuen Hetalia* PSP *game*, he jumps into the water to save a drowning America. The original blogpost was a parody based on characters from English movies and there is nothing to suggest England cannot in fact swim, though the fandom seems to have adopted the idea misguidedly.
* In a translated blog post (17 January 2015) of the official Himaruya blog, it is confirmed that his tattoo is located on his butt.
