Konzen Douji is Genjo Sanzo&#039;s previous incarnation.     ~~~ __Background__~~~    Kanzeon Bosatsu&rsquo;s nephew. His status as a god was high, but his job consisted mainly of paging through documents, and the boredom was killing him. He&rsquo;s a typical young master and doesn&rsquo;t know what hard work is; although he&rsquo;s the iron fist in a velvet glove and has a huge attitude, he has no strength or patience. He&rsquo;s pure only so far as he has no worldly knowledge. He met Goku, and was influenced by Tenpou and Kenren as well, and defeated his previous self in order to protect that which was important to him, gaining the determination to face up to a huge power.     ~~~ __Character Features__~~~    He has long, fine golden hair, and long-lashed drooping eyes. His appearance resembles Genjo Sanzo somehow.     __Source:__ Saiyuki.wikia

500 years before the story of Saiyuki, a heretic child with golden eyes is brought into Heaven. He is given into the reluctant care of a minor deity named Konzen, the nephew of the Merciful Goddess Kanzeon Bosatsu. Konzen eventually gives the child the name "Goku". Goku becomes friends with two other minor gods, Marshal Tenpou and General Kenren of the Western Army of Heaven. He also meets a strange little boy who seems to be his own age, the War Prince Nataku. Although Goku is happy in his new home, Heaven is not kind to heretics. There are those who would use Nataku and Goku as tools in an attempt to seize the throne of Heaven, and Konzen, Tenpou, and Kenren may not be able to save them.
