Do Kanko
CharacterDo Kanko is a Lemures from Sailor Moon SuperS and the first monster Hawk's Eye unleashes on the Sailor Guardians. Nicknamed the Human Cannon, she strikes during the Dead Moon Circus assault on Usagi's mother, Ikuko.
Also Known As
Personality
For a living weapon she keeps oddly courteous habits. Before firing she tidies her cannon and counts down aloud, handing her opponents plenty of warning about the blast to come. Her name plays on the Japanese sound for an explosion, roughly a boom or a bang.
Abilities
Her method of attack is to climb inside a cannon, set the fuse alight, and launch herself at a target so the impact bursts into an explosion. The ritual of scrubbing the barrel and announcing a countdown, however, tends to rob her of any surprise.

History
Hawk's Eye sent her out while he pursued the dream mirror of Ikuko Tsukino, and she managed to overpower the guardians in open combat. With Pegasus nowhere inside Ikuko's dream, Hawk's Eye judged the woman worthless and had Do Kanko aim at her while she lay pinned and helpless. Chibi Moon's plea drew Pegasus, whose power lifted both her and Sailor Moon into their Super forms. A Twinkle Yell from Chibi Moon set up the finish, and Sailor Moon shielded her mother before erasing the Lemures with Moon Gorgeous Meditation.
