Moshimoshi!

The following fan fiction is in letter form (none of these letters are real, if you really believe that there are Japanese girls running around in skimpy Sailor Suits in Japan, other than the actresses of the Sera Myu or Live Action Sailor Moon, you really need to get your head checked!) all addressed to Takeuchi-sensei. There will be no letters from her in this fan fiction, so you will have to put together the pieces.

For the purpose to make it a bit more realistic, since I am basing it on reality, I did rely on my knowledge of Japanese culture, people, language, and other anime series. I did this for the reason that the characters are Japanese, and are going to of course talk about Japanese things in a Japanese point of view. It's also very rare for people in Japan to be as obsessive about anime series (the normal people in day-to-day life) as the people in other countries can be. They usually won't focus on one series an watch anime much like kids in English speaking countries like to watch Saturday Morning Cartoons. I apologize in advance if you feel lost, but I want people to feel like they are peering at someone's real letter, and not a contrived version. However, even though I make a lot of references to Japanese culture, I tried not to do it too outright, and the references to other anime are within their contexts. You do not need to explicitly to know every series, person, or cultural item in this to understand this fan fiction.

While Takeuchi-sensei, her husband, family, and other people in this story may be real, the events of this story are entirely fictitious. I have based some of the story on true events, but it will be safer to assume it is all fiction unless you find out otherwise. I apologize to Takeuchi-sensei's family, including her younger brother Shingo, and his family, and to Togashi-sensei and Petit Ouji. I would also like to apologize to the whole of the anime crew, and seiyuu for using their person in this fan fiction without permission. This was not intended to slander them in anyway, and was supposed to be a tribute.

Never has this been attempted before, where reality collides with fiction, so I also ask for your patience as I gather information, and cross breed it with the Punch storylines written by Takeuchi-sensei and occasionally Togashi-sensei.

A few notes that an average person should know:

Basic Family:

Takeuchi Naoko-sensei- creator of Sailormoon among other works. (duhh...)

Togashi Yoshihiro-sensei- husband to Takeuchi-sensei and writer of manga, such as Hunter X Hunter, Level E, and Yuu Yuu Hakusho.

Petit Ouji- The son of Togashi-sensei and Takeuchi-sensei.

Seiyuu:
Araki Kae- Sailor Chibimoon/ Chibiusa
Shinohara Emi- Sailor Jupiter/ Makoto
Tamagawa Sakiko- Sailor Kakyuu
Tomizawa Michie- Sailor Mars
Hisakawa Aya- Sailor Mercury
Katsuki Masako- Sailor Neptune

Sakamoto Chika- Sailor Starhealer
Tsunoda Narumi- Sailor Starmaker
Mitsuishi Kotono- Sailormoon/Usagi

Ogata Megumi- Did the voice for Kuruma and Sailor Uranus/ Haruka. She
also set up Togashi-sensei and Takeuchi-sensei on a date.

Anime Staff:

Ikuhara-san- Director of Sailormoon (the majority of it).

Tadano Kazuko-san- character designer for first 2 seasons, and part of the third.

Ito-san Ikuko- character designer for third season and fourth season.

I will be using these names occasionally, but you should able to derive who is who from the context.

Again, I apologize.

Ja!
