''Spirit Warriors'' is a BBC children's adventure series, broadcast on BBC Two, BBC HD and CBBC. It is the first British television drama series to have a predominantly East Asian cast. Very loosely inspired by ancient Chinese myths and legends, the show follows Bo, her sister Jen, and fellow schoolchildren Vicky, Trix and Martin who, during a trip to a museum, are transported to a parallel spirit world. Once there, they find themselves transformed into Spirit Warriors, each with his or her own special spirit power. With the help of their mentor Shen, a dragon, they have to use their new-found skills to navigate the realms of Wood, Water, Earth and Fire and find twelve legendary spirit pieces before the evil warlord Li and his henchman Hwang can get their hands on them.〔(Spirit Warriors: introduction ), BBC, 21 December 2009〕 The series was created and written by Jo Ho and produced by Nick Pitt. The working title was ''Bo and the Spirit World''. Jon East, who had previously won a BAFTA for the children's docu-drama ''That Summer Day'',〔(Children's Award Winners in 2007 ), BAFTA〕 was the executive producer, and directed half of the episodes including the start and end of the series. Episodes 4 to 8 were directed by the Australian director Mat King. The show has been picked up internationally by Norway, South Korea, New Zealand and Singapore.〔http://entertainment.xin.msn.com/en/tv/okto/programme-article.aspx?cp-documentid=5760436〕 == Cast == The BBC initially sought two young British Chinese or other East Asian actors to play Bo and her brother Timothy, characters aged 13 and 11. The roles were later changed to sisters, and it was announced in June 2009 that 16-year-old Jessica Henwick had been cast as Bo. Within the next month, announcements were made about the rest of the cast, including Alicia Lai in the role of the younger sister. *Bo played by Jessica Henwick *Shen voiced by Burt Kwouk *Jen played by Alicia Lai *Vicky played by Lil Simz *Trix played by Gilles Geary *Martin played by Karl Rogers *Li played by Benedict Wong *Hwang played by Tom Wu *Fei-Yan played by Daphne Cheung *"'Ding-Xiang"' played by David Yip *Qi-Shi played by Andy Cheung *Ji played by Henry Wu 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spirit Warriors (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
