Here are some bitmaps Peter "Peto" Lin and I made originally for the Sun Workstation Sunview windowing environment. Scanner was so kind to keep these around and convert them when we switched to the X window system. You may need the X window system to view these bitmaps properly (of course), but there should be some graphics format converter that will convert these images to a format that you can use. Here is the XBM.README that Scanner wrote for this bitmap collection that's available from ftp.sunet.se |
Project A-ko |

A-ko Magami, the heroine of Project A-ko | |
B-ko Daitokuji, A-ko's rival | |
C-ko Kotobuki, A-ko's best friend and general all-around nuisance. (=B | |
Urusei Yatsura As you may have guessed from the number of UY bitmaps, I'm a fan of Rumiko Takahashi's earliest work. I didn't make any bitmaps of characters from her other works: Maison Ikkoku, Ranma 1/2, and Rumic World because I didn't know about them at the time... ^_^;;; |
|
Lum was a champion of alien invaders until she was defeated by Ataru in a game of tag. Believing that he proposed to her at the moment of his triumph, she takes up residence in his closet and throws jealous tantrums that give Ataru the shock of his life. | |
Ataru Moruboshi was just an extraordinary lecher until the day Lum's people from Oniboshi arrived on Earth. Since then, the city of Tomobiki has never been the same... | |
Shinobu was Ataru's girlfriend at the beginning of the series, but her affections drift to Shutaro Mendo and later to Inaba as the series progresses. She usually has a demure personality until angered, and then she uses her super-human strength... | |
Shutaro Mendo is the "last son" of the filthy rich Mendo clan. Even with a private army at his disposal, Shutaro can't win the heart of the one girl who does not desire him, Lum. Shutaro's weakness is his fear of the dark, enclosed places. | |
Jariten, also affectionately known as "Ten-chan," is a young cousin of Lum. With the appearance of a baby and a mind of a 30-year-old, Ten-chan is often at odds with Ataru. In addition to the power of flight, Ten-chan can also breathe fire, but his mother is a firefighter... | |
Sakuranbo, better known as "Cherry," is a wandering Buddhist priest who loves nothing more than trouble-making and a free meal. | |
Sakura is Cherry niece. In addition to her job as a school nurse, Sakura is a Shinto practitioner. | |
Benten is one of Lum's close friends. | |
Ran is another close friend of Lum. | |
Yet another close friend of Lum, Oyuki is a princess of an ice planet. | |
Ryunosuke was raised by her father as boy. She desperately wants to lead a life as a girl, but she doesn't know to how. | |

Inaba is custodian to the Doors of Fate. He becomes Shinobu's boyfriend after the adventure they have together. | |
Kotatsu Neko is the ghost of a cat who died after being thrown out into the cold. Attracted to kotatsu tables (Japanese heated tables), Kotatsu Neko becomes a fixture in the UY series. | |
Rescued by Shinobu from a pack of dogs, this little Kitsune (fox) becomes infatuated with his rescuer. Kitsune uses his abilities to impersonate people to attract Shinobu's attention. | |
Kurama is a Tengu princess in search for an ideal mate to perpetuate her race. Unfortunately, Ataru keeps getting into the picture. | |
Tobimaro's family is just as filthy rich as the Mendo clan. | |
Asuka is Tobimaro's sister, and she has a phobia of all boys except her brother, for whom she has an unhealthy affection... | |
This Space Taxi Driver makes his first appearance in the second episode of UY. He gets summoned by Lum's Guard when they were trying to call down Lum. | |
This alien mailcarrier makes an appearance in the opening credits of the first UY movie Only You bicycling over Tomobiki spreading wedding invitations. | |
