Tamamura Tamao (玉村 たまお, known in the English anime as "Tamara"), is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Shaman King.

Appearance

Tamao has short pink hair and constantly wears a simple white shirt and black pants. She always carries her sketch book wherein her ouija is drawn. Tied around her is her planchette; the medium she uses in making her oversoul.

When working at the Asakura Family in, in Izumo, she wears a screaming pink kimono, with a white shirt beneath and a purple sash around her waist tied with a green string.

Personality

Tamao is a shy girl who has a huge crush on Asakura Yoh, even though she knows that Yoh loves Anna Kyōyama, his fiancé. She once even stated that her feelings for him were not less stronger. Initially, she is so shy that she uses her sketchbook and points to pictures in order to tell people what she wants to say. However, in her first appearance in the manga, she predicted that two people will bring catastrophe to Yoh. Even though, Yohmei did not took her prediction seriously, she decided to do something- nearly killing Manta if Anna had not intervened. it turned out that Ponchi and Conchi had messed with her predictions because they want some action. During the Shaman Fights she becomes a strong person and even refers to Anna's teaching about women, while standing up against a stronger foe. In the timeskip, she has obviously matured out of her shyness to be similar to Anna personality-wise as Asakura Hana calls her a "monster".

Abilities and Powers

Tamao's specialty is her use of a kokkuri board, which is similar to a Ouija board, in order to perform divinations. She is also an ascetic, like Mikihisa.

Spirits

See More: Ponchi and Conchi

Her spirits are Conchi, a kitsune, and Ponchi, a tanuki, in the same way Mikihisa has a kitsune and a tanuki. However, even though they are Seirei-types they have still not completely given up on their ego and can therefor not completely evolve. Both of them act like crappy old geezers.

History

Past

Tamao is 10-years-old at the start of the series. Her birthday is on June 17th, 1988 and her blood type is A. Orphaned at a young age, she was found and brought to the Asakura family by Yoh's father, Asakura Mikihisa. He intended her to train under Asakura Yohmei to learn divination.

Shaman Fights First Round

Shaman Fights Second Round

Invading the Plants

While Yoh and his friends was transported to the Continent of Mu, Tamao had an outdoor grill feast, with the Asakura Family, the Tao Family, the Usui Family and the people that was once Hao's followers.

Funbari no Uta

Tamao has aged quite a bit. She has grown her hair long wears a black dress similar to the one Anna wore, but does not wear the red bandana She looks after Asakura Hana(the son of Yoh and Anna).Hana has somehow come to think of Tamao as his mother,

as Anna and Yoh has been away for an unknown reason and Tamao wants to wait until they get back to tell him the truth.[1]

Anime/Manga Difference

In the anime and manga her first appearance are the same, however the result of her divination are different in the versions. In both versions she see that of a short and a tall person will come and hurt Yoh, however it is here the difference come in. In the manga her Guardian Ghost's interfered with her predictions, while in the anime she mistook Ryu and Manta for the persons even though it was someone else. Also in the anime she is not so shy that she uses her sketchbook and points to pictures in order to tell people what she wants to say, and does instead talk clearly, even though she stutters a lot.

And another missing part in her character is that in the manga, she (together with Tao Jun) fought the Hanagumi in order to save Redseb and Seyram Munzer. Her oversoul was more emphasized unlike in the anime. Also, her other oversoul, Angel-san, was shown in the manga and not in the anime.

Trivia

  • As said by Anna, if she was not there it would be most likely that Tamao would become the bride of Asakura Yoh.
  • A running gag in anime shows "Kokkuri angel cupid tamao" as a popular tv show
