'''Sunyeophaa''' (1769-1780), also called '''Lakshmi Singha''', was an [[Ahom]] [[Swargadeo|king]]. Shortly after he was installed he became a captive of the rebels of the [[Moamoria rebellion]] for a few months but soon regained his kingdom.

'''Jusenkyō Guide''' is a fictional character in [[Rumiko Takahashi]]'s [[anime]] and [[manga]] series ''[[Ranma ½]]''.

== History ==

{{spoiler}}

The Jusenkyō Guide works at [[Jusenkyo|Jusenkyō]] and usually warns anyone that comes there that they should not train there or they will fall under a grave curse. He knows the names of the hundreds of pools throughout the area, when they became cursed, and the "tragic story" behind each of them. He uses a formulaic expression to describe all the various cursed springs to those he leads. Usually this includes the phrase "very tragic story," the number of years past (x years ago), the name of the spring, the person(s)/thing(s) that drowned in the spring, and that whoever falls in it will take that form.

The Guide is also in charge of the guest registry that Pantyhose Taro later uses to track down all the victims of the Jusenkyō curses. Despite being the caretaker of Jusenkyō and having to deal with a parade of of newly-cursed people, the Guide himself surprisingly does not have a single curse on him.

The Guide is always very helpful to anyone that visits and tries to offer whatever help he can. Unfortunately, he is not very efficacious. Despite his efforts, nearly every character who comes to the springs ends up cursed, and in the case of Pantyhose Taro, this happens multiple times.

The Guide is also somewhat of an expert on [[China]], explaining the phenomenon of the [[Chinese Amazons]] to [[Genma Saotome|Genma]] and [[Ranma Saotome|Ranma]]. It is not revealed until late in the manga that he is also an expert on Jusendo and can navigate his way around it without the use of the Jusenkyo map. In fact, one of the perks of his job is a second home high on Jusendo, and he has a poster advertising Jusendo as a tourist attraction in the guide office. He is also very knowledgeable about the Phoenix people and the capabilities of the Kinjakan and Gekkaja.

The Guide has a young daughter named Plum. He also mentioned having a wife, but she is never seen. He also loves his family, as he modified his earlier claim that he was willing to die for Jusenkyo by stating that he could not leave them behind by risking his life.

The Tendos have his phone number and have called him about the nature of Rouge's curse. At the close of the Saffron arc, he sends a cask of Nannichuan to Soun as thanks for the help that was given him.
