Tokagero (トカゲロウ Tokagerō) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Shaman King, and is the guardian ghost of Umemiya Ryunosuke, nicknamed "Wooden Sword" Ryu.
About
Tokagero is a 600 year old spirit from the same time as Amidamaru. He was a thief who was eventually killed by Amidamaru and because he wanted revenge wasn't able to pass on. Because of his hatred he eventually turned his skin lizard green. During his life time he became infamous and even gained his own fighting style called Tokage Kenpo(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.
History
Past
He was born on November 14, 1374. When he was alive, Tokagero was a thief that was born into poverty. Tokagero was forced to eat his own dead mother to survive. He then 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.
There was a hill Tokagero 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 Tokagero and his group.
Present Time
In the modern age Tokagero attacks Asakura Yoh and his friends in order to get revenge on Amidamaru, who does not recall him at all. Through Kyoyama Anna's research, they learn that he is an obscure historical figure who was killed by Amidamaru. Tokagero 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 Tokagero and allows him to possess him instead of Ryu, who is just an innocent bystander, because Yoh believes that Tokagero is not as evil as he claims. Togakero does so, with the supposed intention of killing him in the process, but finds he does not have the heart to and leaves Yoh's body peacefully.
Shaman Fights
It was then Tokagero 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 Yohmei Asakura 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 Tokagero embodied the spirit of the mythical river god called "Yamata no Orochi".
Later, after training with Anna under the Shaman Tournament, Tokagero evolves into a Seirei(holy)-class spirit and gains a complete new form as the Yamata No Orochi.
Funbari no Uta
He is seen drinking with Amidamaru in Yasu's cart saying Hana just has a little father complex but just born in the wrong era and just let him fight now and then.
I think it would make sense to expose the @placeholder atuitbrte to AT such that e.g. screenreaders can read it out while the user is tabbing onto the input element. It could even be read out again while the user is considering what to put in if the user activates some kind of help key. It seems to be very useful information that should not be ignored by AT.

Trivia
- It is a common misconception that the "Yamata no Orochi" is a second spirit that Ryu possesses.
- In the anime, the O.S. "Yamata No Orochi Go" is referred to as a Giant Over Soul.
