I don't consider Hakkai and Tenpou to be the same person. I don't consider any of them to be the same people they were when they were gods.

Hakkai Vs. Tenpou, Hakkai is very neat and efficient. Tenpou is very laid-back and my pace kind of guy.

Hakkai doesn't posses Tenpou's cunning and authoritative behaviors. It's like comparing tangelos and grapefruit... There are obvious similarities, but then there are some drastic differences. Oh, here's one! Tenpou and Dr. Ni are kind of similar in appearance and they share some personality traits, but one would never say that Dr. Ni and Hakkai are similar. It's not possible!

Gojyo Vs. Kenren, Gojyo is a slacker and has no real ambition in life beyond getting laid or winning enough money live off of. Kenren is a military man and has ambitions with in his fields of expertise = combat.

Yes they are both philanderers and they enjoy their sake, but Kenren strikes me as a sake connoisseur. He drinks it because it is good. And he's also neater then Gojyo. Here's a difference! Kenren's afraid if heights and Gojyo's afraid of water! There ya go, those are differences.

Sanzo Vs. Konzen, Sanzo can't connect with people because he refuses to. And he's angstier. Konzen is kind of a spoil brat, in that he's never done anything in his life besides paper work. He more open about his affection toward Goku too.

In these guys, you can tell their different people because of the environment they grew up in. Sanzo had to struggle for everything, even to survive. Konzen was shelter and bored out of his mind. Their greatest similarity though is that Goku has changed both of them and probably for the better.

Hakuryuu Vs. Goujun ... Not even going to go there man. Dragon war god becomes puny dragon that turns into a Jeep. The Commander of Heaven's Western Army is now a car... No, not going there...

When it comes down to it, I can see how someone might view them as the same people, but I say nay. They have similar personality foundations, but they grew up in different environment with different life experiences. That's what makes them different people.
