Cygnus Hyōga, or in the US version, Swan Hyōga, is a bronze saint of the Cygnus constellation. He was born in the fictional village Kohoutek, Siberia, which, at the time of manga's writing, was in the Soviet Union. He has multiple supernatural powers, including the ability to magically create ice and snow at temperatures as low as absolute zero. Hyōga is always portrayed wearing a cross and rosary, which is symbolic of the Northern Cross, another name for the constellation Cygnus. Hyōga is depicted as being calm by nature, and displays a seemingly emotionless exterior - however, a more tender element to his character is occasionally revealed, such as his deep gratitude to Andromeda Shun for having saved his life. In Japan, Hyōga is a popular character, ranking at 2nd in the main character polls of the Bronze Saints.[1]
