Tamahome's Page

Welcome to my Tamahome page. Tamahome proves to be one of the most dynamic and interesting characters in Fushigi Yuugi. I'll admit that at first I didn't like him and that it took about 15 episodes for me to really like him. Tamahome is obviously our leading male character, he is the love interest for our heroine, the fighting force behind the Suzaku seishi, and the object of contention for both Seiryuu No Miko and her protector Nakago.

***SPOILER WARNING*** (for tv ep. ~12)
(highlight to read)
Around here we find out the reason for Tamahome's money-centric attitude...his father is sick, his mother is dead, and he has four siblings to raise...all on his own. All of his siblings are younger than him, so they rely solely on him for food, money, and anything else they might need. So it turns out that Tamahome's thirst for money has been for his family's well-being. ^_^

***SPOILER WARNING AGAIN*** (for tv ep. 26)
After Amiboshi had posed as a Suzaku seishi, fled, and fallen headfirst into the river, Suboshi (Amiboshi's brother) decided to take revenge on Tamahome. Believing that Tamahome had killed his sibling, Suboshi mercilessly slaughtered Tamahome's family. The shock nearly destroyed Tamahome. Ultimately he came to the conclusion that Miaka was his life. He had been born to protect her, he couldn't protect his family, but with them gone, he had nothing to divide his attentions. His efforts were redoubled.

***SPOILER WARNING AGAIN*** (for end of tv & basis for OVAs)
Lastly, upon the seishi sending their chi to Tamahome (and Miaka summoning Suzaku), he was able to defeat Nakago in single combat. He and Miaka knew a wish to be together would not be granted by Suzaku. So they were forced to part, but Tamahome promised that he would find "nomatter how long it takes." We then flash forward to Miaka and Yui in high school (the same high school, not Jonan Academy), and Keisuke introducing Miaka to a new student at his college, "he has memories of a past life where he was born to protect a girl." He looks exactly the same, although his name is different (Sukunami Taka) and he was born into the real world...it is Tamahome reborn. ^_^
