Bosse Kingdom

The Bosse Kingdom (sometimes called The Kingdom of Bosse) is a large, prosperous overworld kingdom in the universe of Ousama Ranking. It was founded by King Bosse roughly 10-14 years ago, just after the birth of Prince Bojji.

History
The exact location of the Bosse Kingdom is unclear, but it appears to be land-locked and in a fertile, hilly region. It has one capital city and abundant farmland.

An enormous stone border wall runs along the outskirts of the kingdom, separating it from the exterior wilds. The outskirts of the kingdom are filled with stone ruins.

Prior to its founding the Bosse Kingdom was an unaffiliated territory. It contained at least one fortified village that was being menaced by a tribe of monsters. Bosse, a giant adventurer, defeated the monster tribe and, upon learning his first son Bojji had been born in the village, declared that he would end his wandering and found a kingdom at that location.

King Bosse
The #7 ranked king in the world and the world's strongest man, Bosse is a member of the giant race who was a storied adventurer before founding his kingdom. There is much more to him than meets the eye, and he has kept deep secrets from the rest of his court.

Queen Sheena
Bosse's first wife and Bojji's mother, like Bosse Sheena was also a giant and an adventurer. She died of a mysterious ailment sometime before the start of the series.

Queen Hilling
Bosse's second wife, Daida's mother, and the current Queen of the Bosse Kingdom. Though human, Hilling possesses supernatural healing powers. She has a stern presence, but cares deeply for the people around her, including Bojji.

Prince Bojji
The first-born son of King Bosse and crown prince of the Bosse Kingdom. Bojji was born abnormally small, weak, and deaf. In spite of this Bojji is an exceptionally-resilient, dedicated young prince who continues to fight to inherit the Bosse Kingdom.

Prince Daida
The second-born son of King Bosse and the current King of the Bosse Kingdom. Daida was born physically fit and healthy. He was chosen to officially succeed King Bosse, being seen as a better candidate than his older brother Bojji.

When Daida succeeded his father as king of the Bosse Kingdom its ranking was dropped from 7th to 90th.

The Four Heavenly Kings/The Big Four
Four highly-ranked officers and advisors to the Bosse Kingdom, appointed by King Bosse himself. It is unclear if the Four Heavenly Kings (currently composed of Dormas, Bebin, Apis, and Drushi) are a chivalric order or just a rank of nobility within the Bosse Kingdom.

The term "Four Heavenly Kings" seems to only be used to refer to the collective group, and each member is rarely referred to as a Heavenly King by themselves. Each member also possesses a title bestowed on them by Bosse. Apis is the "King's Spear", Drushi is the "Queen's Shield", Dormas is the "Swordmaster", and Bebin is the "Snake Master". These titles appear to be informal, and refer to either their role or specialty as a warrior.

In practice each Heavenly King seems to be charged with protecting one specific member of the royal family, and all serve as advisors on the King's council. Bebin has the additional duty of being the Bosse Kingdom's spymaster.

The name Four Heavenly Kings (Japanese: 四天王) may cause some confusion to western readers. It is a reference to four Buddhist protective deities, and has been used historically by Japanese rulers to refer to their top generals. The implication is that Bosse's Heavenly Kings are his senior generals and advisors.

Note: Most translators prefer to call them the Big Four of the Bosse Kingdom, probably to avoid the confusing terminology of a direct translation.

Prime Minister Sorii
The Prime Minister of the Bosse Kingdom who worked closely with King Bosse, Sorii is a man known for his excellent judgment and decision-making skills. He handles the day-to-day governance of the Bosse Kingdom, and sits on the king's council along with the Four Heavenly Kings, Hilling, and Sandeo.

Minister of Justice Sandeo
The Minister of Justice of the Bosse Kingdom, Sandeo's title implies that he administers the investigative agencies and legal system of the Bosse Kingdom (assuming those exist). Relatively little is known about his character, but he was one of the council members who voted for Bojji to succeed King Bosse (alongside Apis). He sits on the King's council with the Four Heavenly Kings, Hilling, and Sorii.

Kage
A recent transplant to the Bosse Kingdom, Kage is a member of the Shadow Clan who was driven from his original home by a persecution. He is Bojji's first friend and was appointed his secret bodyguard by the Heavenly King Bebin.

Magic Mirror/Miranjo
A mysterious advisor and long time companion to King Bosse, Miranjo appears to be something like a court wizard, though her presence and role in the Bosse Kingdom is a secret. Only Bosse and Apis appear to be aware of her existence.

At some point in the past Miranjo became the Magic Mirror, after losing her original body. As the Magic Mirror she became a constant advisor to Prince Daida, manipulating him to her own ends.
