History[]
Past[]
Hisami was born on February 23, 1980 in Fukuoka, Japan.[1] She was once an aspiring writer and planned to create a collective work with Mamy, a soprano singer, and another friend, an aspiring artist. While the three friends were traveling in India, their train derailed. Samy and Mamy were seriously injured, and their friend died. Although Gandhara rushed to the scene, they were unable to save everyone. Afterward, Samy and Mamy were angry at Gandhara for not saving their friend. However, when they went to the group's school, they found Sati Saigan exhausted from daily overwork and the medical treatments she was administering, so they instead asked if they could help teach at the school. Sati accepted, with Samy teaching Japanese and Mamy teaching music.
Because of the strong anger and sadness, as well as kindness, they had experienced in India, Asura chose to work with Samy and Mamy, and with his guidance, the two women vowed to support Sati and became members of Gandhara.[2]
Coming to Tokyo[]
Samy and the other qualifying competitors attended the opening ceremony at Mimata Hall.[3]
A month later, Samy and the other competitors gathered at Yokocha Base and were flown to America in the Patch Jumbo. The shamans were tasked with locating and reaching the Patch Village within three months. While still tens of thousands of feet in the air, the jumbo jet was revealed to be an Over Soul shortly before it was dematerialized, dropping all of its passengers. Gandhara rode on the group's elephant and descended safely to the ground.[4]
The Gandhara members successfully reached the village, and Samy and Mamy joined Team "Deva" for the tournament, with Ozam.[1]
Shaman Fights Second Round[]
Team "Deva" easily defeated Team "Cowboys" in the first round of matches[5] and Team "Nazca" in the second.[6]
Samy and the rest of Gandhara watched as Team "Myooh" faced off against Team "The Ren".[7]
In preparation for the final battle, most of the Gandhara members met up with Yoh, and Sati sent him to Hell in order for him to train and become one of the Five Elemental Warriors.[8] After Sati explained to Team "Funbari Onsen" about Gandhara's mission, Namari confronted them about their plan to steal the Five Grand Elemental Spirits from the Patch Tribe, and then informed them that Team "X-II" had been killed so Team "Nyorai" would face Team "Kabbalahers" next.[9]
As Namari left, Team "Tsuki-Gumi" arrived and tried to bait Ryu into a fight. When Sati was distracted stopping Ryu, Hang Zang-Ching stabbed her in the back, killing her.[10] Team "Tsuki-Gumi" then managed to kill the rest of the Gandhara members there. Johann Faust VIII revived Yoh, who quickly defeated Team "Tsuki-Gumi" by himself. After Johann revived Sati,[11] she revived Iron Maiden Jeanne and together, the two women revived everyone else.[12]
After Lyserg Diethel's revival, Teams "Nyorai", "Deva", and "Kabbalhers" withdrew from the tournament, allowing Team "X-I" to continue on and bringing an end to the match between Teams "Funbari Onsen" and "The Ren".[13]
Invading the Plants[]
After the four Grand Elemental Spirits had been retrieved from Hell, the Gandhara members boarded the Sphinx so they could deliver the spirits to Mū. However, before they reached the underwater continent, Asakura Hao awoke as the Shaman King and destroyed the Sphinx and everyone inside it.[14]
The Gandhara members then boarded the train of souls in the Great Spirit and rode it the highest commune in support of the Five Elemental Warriors' fight against Hao. After Hao was placated,[15] he revived the fallen shamans.[16]

Like many of the Gandhara members, Samy does not appear in the 2001 anime series.
