**Jukai Enno (also known as "abbot Jukai" or "The abbot Jukai")** is a character from the **Kishin Douji Zenki series**. He is an elderly human man who wears a robe and a has a white beard. He is bald and has black eyes.

Jukai is Kuribayashi's and Chiaki's mentor. The Abbot Jukai is also Saki's brother and a 53rd generation decendant of Ozunu Enno.

In Volume 1 Chapter 2.1 of the Manga it is also stated that he is younger than Saki, as she refers to him as her little brother.

## Anime

In the anime, Jukai and Kuribayashi mainly work as a comic duo. They try at being serious monks, though only Kuribayashi succeeds in doing so.
Though Jukai is being playing fool. But, actually. Jukai is a gifted knowledgeable generalist in a varity of fields, which includs: Medicine, Martial-Art, Clothing-Design, money making...etc. He is very creative and attempts a great variety of tricks to make money. One of these includes him and Kuribayashi going on tour alongside Chibi Zenki to show him off like a circus monkey. Whenever Jukai gets creative, Kuribayashi will follow his advice, though sometimes, he will question Jukai's actions.

Abbot Jukai is also a wisecracker toward Chiaki and loves to exaggerate women's proportions to show his liking toward her. This often results in Chiaki hitting him in the head with a fan to punish his rude behaviour. In the beginning, Chiaki did show a strong disliking against this old dirty monk, Jukai. However, eventually things changed reversely. For no reason, she seems to be greatly surprised and fascinated by the martial art that Abbot Jukai demonstrated in a battle from the manga vol.6. Chiaki started to realized:　Never judge a book by its cover.　Chiaki realized:　Jukai is actually gifted and well educated in multiple fields.
The old monk Jukai is not as always happy nor ridiculous as he normally appears.
Somehow, Chiaki could sense the feelings of sadness and lonely from Jukai.
Ever since then, Chiaki began to drop by Jukai's Kirin Temple when there are long period holidays.
In the beginning, once half year, and then once every three months, and then one a month, and then once everyweekend．．．
That explained why we often see Chiaki hangs around in Kirin Temple being company with Jukai. Because she does not hope Jukai feel alone.
Later in the vol.9 of manga, after Enno Shrine was severly damaged in a battle, Chiaki finally found a good excuse to move out and in to Kirin Temple. Oddly, Chiaki's deep affection toward Jukai were appeared and seen in many pages of manga.

He only appears in a few cutscenes of the second SNES game Kishin Douji Zenki 2 - Den Ei Rai Bu. He is a minor character and only has a few lines ingame.

## *Trivia*

### **Manga**

In the original, Japanese manga, **Jukai Enno** is referred to as **Edachi Jukai** or simply **Abbot Jukai**.

In this media, his full name is depicted via the Kanji and Furigana writings of 役寿海 and えんの じゅかい, while his given name only is depicted as Edachi Jukai 寿海 or じゅかい.

His given name is a play on the word "Sushi", which is a type of fish dish, referencing his funny and cheerful character.

#### **Roles (Volume 6)**

At the end of Volume 6, there is also a subsection featuring "roles".
These roles aren't roles of the characters themselves, but their Japanese voice actors from the anime.

For Jukai Enno, his voice actress is depicted via the Kanji and Furigana writings of 丸山詠二 and
まるやまえいじ. Both of them transliterate as "Maruyama Eiji", which is Eiji Maruyama's name written
in the Japanese naming order.
