Yaten Kou makes his first appearance in the beginning of the Sailormoon Stars season (Episode 173) as a member of the popular idol group, Three Lights. The members of Three Lights are Seiya Kou, Taiki Kou, and, of course, Yaten Kou, who are also the Sailor Starlights.      Yaten-sama transforms into Sailor Star Healer. She attacks using "Star Sensitive Inferno!".      Yaten is often seen wearing a blue suit with a yellow rose tucked in his pocket. Yaten is the most attractive (in my opinion) of the Starlights, with long silver hair and beatiful emerald eyes. Both as Yaten and Sailor Star Healer, she is rather rude, saying whatever is on her mind regardless of the other person's feelings. Yaten is incredibley annoyed at all his fans, and throws away all the fan letters sent to him.      Yaten tries his hardest to end Usagi and Seiya's friendship, because he believes Seiya is more interested in Usagi than in their mission. Like Taiki, he is a rather underdeveloped character, who doesn't do much for the story plot.      The Starlights came are from a planet outside of the solar system called Kinmokusei, which was destroyed by Sailorgalaxia during the Sailor Wars. The only survivors are the Starlights and Princess Kakyuu. Kakyuu was injured and disappeared, and the Starlights set out on a mission to find her and rebuild their planet. On Earth, they disguise themselves as idol singers, hoping to cover up their true mission and use their music to reach Princess Kakyuu. Anime      In the anime, the Starlights were originally women, reborn onto Earth as men to find Princess Kakyuu. They became idol singers to disguise their true mission. They use their music to send a message to Princess Kakyuu. When they transform they change to their true forms - women. Manga      In the manga, the Starlights are women - period. Three Lights were simply women dressed as men - no great sex-change transformation. ^.~ Also, in the manga, the Starlights do die at the end on volume #17 (heh, and are still dying at the beginning of volume #18). Misconceptions      What is Sailor Star Healer's first name? Kou or Yaten? Kou. They all have the first name of Kou. They don't have the same last names, rather they all have the same first names. Still don't believe me? Yaten introduces himself as Yaten Kou. In Japan, last name comes before first name.      The misunderstanding that they all shared the same last name has sprung the idea that they are brothers/sisters. Well, seen as how they were all born the same year on different dates, it would be mighty tricky of them to be siblings, ne? ^.~ Opinionated      Yaten in the most handsome male character in Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon, both anime and manga, in my opinion. The way he puckers his lips when he's giving his special look I've annointed 'Yaten's Glare', his eyes (Oh my, his eyes... *_*), and his overall Bishounen-ness makes me want to pull him right out of the television set...      And then he speaks. My love? Feh. 'Nuff said.
