Question
Can you help me with any information about a character from Japanese mythology
His name is 'Nyuun ryu kousonshou'.
This may be a Japanese name for a character from the chinese story 'Heroes of the water margin'.

Answer
Dear Daniel,

Thank you for your question.

I didn't know much about "Heroes of the water margin", but after some search, I understand that the stoy is called "Suiko den" in Japanese.

It's Chinese-origin story, and not a japanese story.

Or are you looking for the character in this game?

If so, yes, this is Japan made.  However, as far as I saw this web site, there is no character of that name.

As you might know, Japanese characters have many sounds and at the same time many characters have the same sounds.  Nyuun ryu kousonshou is not a common word and I couldn't imagine what characters are for the name.

I'm sorry not to be help so much.
If you give me further information like some web sites about it etc, I might be find the information you need.

Sincerely yours,

Chiaki
