Hikita Tenko

Hikita Tenko was the Master Guardian before Princess Tenko, and trained Tenko and several other magicians to become Guardians of the Magic.

History
A powerful mage, Hikita Tenko took notice of the young magician Mariko after she rescued a little girl from a burning building. He invited Mariko to join him and several other magicians as they trained to become Guardians. She accepted, and over time, Mariko proved to be the most promising student in the bunch.

During a secret meeting with Mariko, Hikita revealed that his time was coming to an end and that he wished for her to take his place as Master Guardian. He bestowed the name Princess Tenko on the young magician, and showed her the magic Starfire Gems. Meanwhile, the Dark Twins were outraged that anyone but them would be chosen, as their grandfather was the one to train Hikita. The twins stole two gems before Hikita interrupted them, though Hikita was outmatched. Princess Tenko, Bolt, Steel, and Hawk came to his rescue, but it was too late. Hikita Tenko bid farewell to his students and was placed inside the Tenko Box to rest for eternity.
