Now I'll introduce to you the Nataku from the latest Hong Kong TV Show of Journey to the West. Journey to the West is my *favorite* HK show, so it should be no surprise that this is one of my favorite representations of Nataku despite the fact that he's portrayed by a woman. There are two parts to Journey to the West though, and a lot of the actors and actresses changed in the second part including Nataku, but I like this one better. The other one's not as pretty. ^-^ She gets more lines though. This one gets picked on by Red Boy. *shniffu*

Not a whole lot happens to this version because he's more of a supporting character that goes after Sun Wu-k'ung/Son Goku when he causes trouble. In the second half though, there's one trial where Goku goes into Li Sei's pagoda and does something that helps bring them closer together or something like that.
