The Sailor Starlights were introduced in the final story arc of Sailor
Moon. In the manga, the trio adopt human identities as male pop stars, but
in the anime they were changed into men, who become women when
transformed. Sailor Moon's creator and manga artist Naoko Takeuchi was
famously annoyed at the change and found it to be a cheap subversion of
her explicit rule that only women could become 'sailor senshi.
Their full titles are Sailor Starfighter (darkhaired), Healer (greyhaired),
and Maker (brownhaired), likely references to the gods
Shiva,
Vishnu, and
Brahma in
Hinduism. They are most famous for their bizarre uniforms, a
leather-looking vinyl haltertop and hotpants combo.
Although poorly thought out
English is famously used in
anime, Sailor Starmaker's attack phrase (Star Gentle Uterus!) is a
classic example. However objectively appropriate it may be, many fans
agree it is one of the stupider name choices by the creator.
