He originally (in the first manga and anime series) wore black tabi socks and straw sandals on his feet, but later switched to black boots. He's got a decent handful of scars, mostly not visible in his normal dress, all of which are fairly old. Underneath the robes, he's usually wearing simple blue-jeans and a thin, tight-fitting sleeveless mock-turtleneck, with black fingerless gloves connecting to slave-rings on each hand. It is has been mentioned more than once that he is fair looking, once a villager even tried to make a move on him, but was immediately greeted with a gun to his forehead before he could touch him. The sacred sutra's powers protect it from accumulating any signs of damage or wear, despite its being worn in all sorts of weather every day for years. Draped over the shoulders of the robe is a green-bordered scroll covered in Tibetan calligraphy, the Maten Sutra, one of the five Tenshi Kaigen or 'Sutras of Heaven and Earth'. He has bright golden blond hair kept vaguely short and violet eyes, and is considered to be strikingly attractive. Genjo Sanzo is of relatively average height and athletically wiry, although he's usually enveloped in his very loose beige robe.
