Gittanko
CharacterGittanko is a Dead Moon Circus Lemures and one half of a seesaw-swinging pair that Hawk's Eye summons to confront the Sailor Guardians. Taller and older than her teammate Bakkonko, she debuts in the SuperS season and is destroyed by Super Sailor Moon's finishing attack.
Appearance
She cuts a taller, more mature figure than her partner Bakkonko. Over a cyan bodysuit she pulls on a dark blue dress, its chest fronted by a single red diamond.
Personality
Known by the nickname the Terrifying Seesaw Acrobat, Gittanko never operates alone; she is one member of a two-monster act tied to Bakkonko. The 'Gittan' in her name echoes the Japanese term for a seesaw.
History
Hawk's Eye and Tiger's Eye find no trace of Pegasus while searching Minako's dreams, and they close in to kill her just as the rest of the team shows up. The pair respond by calling out Gittanko and Bakkonko, whose paired seesaw routine, hurling the plank or springing off it to fling opponents skyward, briefly overwhelms the Guardians. The balance shifts once Minako becomes Sailor Venus and unleashes a supercharged Crescent Beam that catches both Lemures and their two masters alike. Twinkle Yell then brings Pegasus to Sailor Chibi Moon's side, and Moon Gorgeous Meditation from Sailor Moon wipes out Gittanko together with her partner.
