THE MYSTIC FILES

Sanzang is one of the honorific titles given to a monk known as Chen Hui. He is best known for traveling to India and influencing the acceptance of Buddhism into China. His adventures were romanticized in one of the Four Classics of Chinese Literature,Journey to the West. Due to the vague nature of Sanzang's gender within the original Japanese rendition of the story, it's not uncommon for a female Sanzang to appear in Japanese created media.
The monk's Warriors Orochi counterpart is known as a female who is called Sanzang in English and Sanzang Fashi (三蔵法師, onyomi: Sanzōhoshi, the full title) in Japanese.
