There was a local hill Tokageroh and his group used as a hideout, but one day [[Amidamaru]] passed by and was ambushed by them. However, being the strongest one, Amidamaru killed Tokageroh and his group. He was unable to pass on because he wanted revenge and his hatred eventually turned his skin lizard green.
==History==
 
===Past===
 
He was born on November 14, 1374. When he was alive, Tokageroh was born into poverty and eventually he was forced to eat his own dead mother to survive. He became a thief ambushing people. An ancient bandit, he stole everything, money, food, lives and even more. He led a horde of bandits who terrorized the area 600 years ago.
 
   
 
In the modern day, Tokageroh possesses [[Umemiya Ryunosuke]] and uses him to steal [[Harusame]] from the museum and then attacks Yoh and Amidamaru, who does not recall him at all. In the ensuing fight, Yoh and Amidamaru are forced to break Harusame in order to save Ryu's life. Yoh appeals to Tokageroh and allows him to possess him instead of Ryu because Yoh believes that Tokageroh is not as evil as he claims. Togakeroh does so, with the supposed intention of killing him in the process, but finds that he does not have the heart to do so, and leaves Yoh's body peacefully.

  +
Tokageroh prepares to move on, but for some odd reason, he can not enter the afterlife and eventually decides to become Ryu's guardian ghost after meeting him again in Izumo. While training in the mountains of Izumo, Tokageroh embodies the spirit of the mythical river god [[Yamata no Orochi]] and after training with Anna during the Shaman Tournament, Tokageroh evolves into a Seirei-class spirit.
===Present Time===
 
In the modern age Tokageroh attacks [[Asakura Yoh]] and his friends in order to get revenge on Amidamaru, who does not recall him at all. Through Kyōyama Anna's research, they learn that he is an obscure historical figure who was killed by Amidamaru. Tokageroh possesses [[Umemiya Ryunosuke]] and uses him to steal [[Harusame]] from the museum and attack Yoh and Amidamaru. The fight that ensues forces Yoh and Amidamaru to break Harusame in order to save Ryu's life.
 
 
Yoh appeals to Tokageroh and allows him to possess him instead of Ryu, who is just an innocent bystander, because Yoh believes that Tokageroh is not as evil as he claims. Togakeroh does so, with the supposed intention of killing him in the process, but finds from great sadness he does not have the heart to do so and leaves Yoh's body peacefully.
 
 
===Shaman Fights===
 
It was then Tokageroh prepared to move on, but for some reason he still could not enter nirvana and eventually decided to become the spirit ally of Ryu. It was during this time that Ryu wanted to train with Asakura Yohmei who had trained Yoh when he was young. But he declined, saying that the Shaman Tournament was too dangerous for an unskilled man like Ryu. However after agreeing in the mountains of Izumo, Ryu became stronger and Tokageroh embodied the spirit of the mythical river god called "Yamata no Orochi".
 
 
Later, after training with Anna under the Shaman Tournament, Tokageroh evolves into a Seirei (Holy)-class spirit and gains a complete new form as the Yamata no Orochi.

He is seen drinking with [[Amidamaru]] in Yasu's cart, talking about [[Asakura Hana]].

'''Description:''' This is Ryu's first Over Soul, made by integrating Tokageroh's ghost with his bokutō. This O.S. provides Ryu with much needed protection in the form of shoulder armor and prehensile, snake-like tendrils that are used to bind enemies as well as defend against attacks. Originally, this O.S. manifested as armor, turning Tokageroh into a shield bearing his likeness, before being re-imagined. Overall, this O.S. proved to be Ryu's most versatile O.S. type, if not the weakest. Ryu even created a 'legendary hitch-hiking' technique revolving around this O.S. called his "Big Thumb Over Soul" creating a huge green thumb with a striking resemblance to Tokageroh's face.

Tokageroh (トカゲロウ, Tokagerou) is a fictional character in the manga and anime series of Shaman King, and is the guardian ghost of Umemiya Ryunosuke. In life, he was a thief that was killed by Amidamaru. He is voiced by Wataru Takagi in Japanese, and Wayne Grayson in English.

About

Tokageroh was born into poverty and eventually, he was forced to eat his own dead mother to survive. He later became a thief ambushing a lot of people. As an ancient bandit, he stole most of everything, money, food, lives, and so on. He led a horde of bandits who terrorized the area 600 years ago.

During his lifetime he became infamous and even gained his own fighting style called "Tokage Kenpō" (Lizard Style).[1] He always calls himself a nasty villain but is, in reality, a big softie who only misses the comfort of a mother's care

There was a local hill Tokageroh and his group used as a hideout, but one day Amidamaru passed by and was ambushed by them. However, being the strongest one, Amidamaru killed Tokageroh and his group. He was unable to pass on because he wanted revenge and his hatred eventually turned his skin lizard green.

In the modern day, Tokageroh possesses Umemiya Ryunosuke and uses him to steal Harusame from the museum and then attacks Yoh and Amidamaru, who does not recall him at all. In the ensuing fight, Yoh and Amidamaru are forced to break Harusame in order to save Ryu's life. Yoh appeals to Tokageroh and allows him to possess him instead of Ryu because Yoh believes that Tokageroh is not as evil as he claims. Togakeroh does so, with the supposed intention of killing him in the process, but finds that he does not have the heart to do so, and leaves Yoh's body peacefully.

Tokageroh prepares to move on, but for some odd reason, he can not enter the afterlife and eventually decides to become Ryu's guardian ghost after meeting him again in Izumo. While training in the mountains of Izumo, Tokageroh embodies the spirit of the mythical river god Yamata no Orochi and after training with Anna during the Shaman Tournament, Tokageroh evolves into a Seirei-class spirit.
