About[]
Tamegoroh is the spirit of an old man and the previous owner of the onsen where Asakura Yoh resides.[1] During Tamegoroh's time, it was known as the "Flame Inn (民宿 炎 Minshuku-En). He died when the inn mysteriously burned down and Tamegoroh refuses to divulge what caused the fire, though it is believed that he was responsible.[2]
Since his death, he has haunted the inn, moving from bathroom to bathroom.[1] Upon the establishment of Funbari Onsen, a picture of Tamegoroh's was placed at the Onsen's altar alongside portraits of Asakura Mikihisa and Johann Faust VIII. Although Tamegoroh was forcibly exorcised into the Great Spirit to await his day of reincarnation,[2] he eventually returned to the Onsen and continued haunting the bathrooms.[3]
