Tamahome

Tamahome (鬼宿, Tamahome) is the first of the seven Celestial Warriors of Suzaku that Miaka meets after he saves Miaka and Yui from slave traders. Born in the Hakko (Bai-Jiang) Village of the Juso (Shou-Shuang) Prefecture of Konan (Hong-nan), Tamahome is the eldest son of a large family. He is seventeen years old.

Tamahome is seemingly the strongest member of the Suzaku warriors. He is an adept martial artist, proficient unarmed and with weapons, and street fighter in addition to being able to channel his ki into energy blasts. When emotionally motivated, he is able to use his ki to increase his strength, speed, and reflexes in combat. Tamahome is also experienced in fencing thanks to being trained by Tokaki.

Initially, Tamahome is portrayed as a greedy young man who is only interested in helping others if it means getting paid for it later. It is eventually revealed that his interest in accumulating money derives from trying to support his family. He comes across as cheerful, vain, and comic, but is actually shy and emotionally strong. Throughout the series, he demonstrates himself to be a sincere young man who is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of others and unwilling to back down from enemies.

While he initially rejects Miaka’s feelings for him, he comes to reciprocate, though does not pursue his feelings for her until his family is unfortunately killed by Suboshi. They develop a strong romantic relationship to the point where Tamahome is able to hear Miaka when she calls for him. Though it is Miaka’s wish for them to be together, it is a wish that Suzaku cannot grant; thus, Miaka uses her final wish to restore ‘’The Universe of Four Gods’’ and the two are separated when Miaka returns to her own world. However, after Miaka’s junior high school graduation, she is introduced to a new classmate of his older brother: Taka Sukunami, who is Tamahome reborn in her world.
