A Japanese figure skater known for her sharp tongue. She is on bad terms with the media and the public because of her attitude and string of bad luck in competitions.
Her goal is to compete in the Winter Olympics in Torino (Turin, Italy). At the beginning of the series is possessed by the ghost of Pete Pumps and while she initially hated him, she gradually grew to accept his constant presence in her life and grew even more to love him.
While possessed, she picked up the habit of eating tomatoes, because her possessor Pete hates tomatoes, and using masochism, since Pete can share Tazusa's pain, to keep him in line. She has an unlucky tendency to fall asleep when she gets bored, but can never sleep the night before a competition. In the anime, she describes herself as "The $10 Billion Dollar Beauty."
