  • "It's said that when a pretty boy drinks it, a retainer from a fantastical land will come and take him away! Wait, that sounds familiar...!?"
  • The Tale of Genji is generally considered to be Earth's first example of the novel literary form. Called Genji Monogatari in its original language, it was written in Earth's early 11th century by a Japanese noblewoman named Murasaki Shikibu. Hikaru Sulu was named after the story's protagonist, Hikaru Genji. (TOS novel: The Entropy Effect)
  • By most modern definitions this was the first written novel, written by a woman known as Murasaki Shikibu; as it was written in the early 11th century, all tropes in it are necessarily Older Than Print at least. Hikaru Genji (literally "Shining One of the Minamoto Clan") is the son of the Emperor of Japan in the Heian Period (11th Century) and is considered too handsome for his own good. The novel is split into 54 chapters, beginning with the circumstances leading to his birth and ending shortly after his death. Not to be confused with Genji, which is (loosely) based on the Tale of the Heike.

abstract
  • "It's said that when a pretty boy drinks it, a retainer from a fantastical land will come and take him away! Wait, that sounds familiar...!?"
  • By most modern definitions this was the first written novel, written by a woman known as Murasaki Shikibu; as it was written in the early 11th century, all tropes in it are necessarily Older Than Print at least. Hikaru Genji (literally "Shining One of the Minamoto Clan") is the son of the Emperor of Japan in the Heian Period (11th Century) and is considered too handsome for his own good. The novel is split into 54 chapters, beginning with the circumstances leading to his birth and ending shortly after his death. Note that despite sharing a name with the author, Princess Murasaki is not an Author Avatar. In fact, the author was named for the character after the fact, since, like many women from that era, her real name is not known. Not to be confused with Genji, which is (loosely) based on the Tale of the Heike.

Hikaru Sulu was named after the story's protagonist, Hikaru Genji. (TOS novel: The Entropy Effect) When Sulu travelled back in time to 20th-century San Francisco and encountered his distant ancestor, Akira Sulu, Hikaru attempted to speak to Akira in Japanese; due to a rather sketchy grasp of the language, Hikaru thought that he must have sounded like a character from The Tale of Genji when speaking to Akira.
