"Mhm! Mhm! Tamako really likes seals!"

Upon first sight, one might notice that Tamako is a very delightful piece of eye candy. His appearance is gorgeous, quite captivating and the way he holds himself shows a confidence that no human could possibly ever achieve. He's fun, exciting and overall a very joyful individual who couldn't be some sort of spirit in mortal form, right? 

Height 5'4
Body Type Mesomorph
Weight ???
Body Shape Slim/Curved

Voice Claim
Usually he speaks at a normal range, but he has the habit of sometimes getting louder on accident. His voice has a bit of a seal-ish fleck to it, and he sometimes cannot pronounce words right or puts emphasis on words that don't need emphasis.  
Handwriting Handedness
Tamako primarily writes in hiragana and struggles with newer kanji. He has great penmanship and likes to make cute marginalia in any notes or autographs he signs. He isn't very good at writing in English and uses very easy words with bold print.  

Tamako is, pointedly, a very beautiful person. With seal-ish and dollish like features, he is thought of as adorable across many countries and has fans who adore him for not only his charming personality, but his bubbly looks. He has a heart shaped face, the kind that sits perfectly on a thin, yet sturdy neck. His hair is a silky caramel shade, very similar to plain milk tea and it extends past his shoulders to his lower back. The texture is  and flowy, with layers. His eyes are a bright, healthy maya blue, and when positioned in the sunset; can resemble soft depths of a clean, unpolluted ocean. 

His general frame is petite, and his bust and hips align with one another a little too perfectly. There isn't a flaw on his body or face, be it scar or blemish; though his ears and whiskers may come off somewhat confusing to anyone who isn't accustomed to seeing them.

Unlike normal rabbit ears, they're wider and flatter, rather than closed, curved and pointed. Their fur is short, soft and completely white on the outside with brownish/gray hair further into the inner ear. His whiskers are only sprouted out of his circle semi-large eyebrows and extend upwards like a cat's would. They blend in well with the rest of his appearance.


Attire 

Tamako's attire is more often than not, short clothed items that fit tightly against his body. He prefers short shorts and either full sleeved or sleeveless shirts, as partial sleeves rub against his arms too much and make him easily irritable. Majority of his closet consists of various shades of pink, though he collects all colors that aren't plain white. Typically, he keeps up with fashion trends to blend in with what's desired, though has his own fashion agenda he follows and enjoys. 

Generally speaking, if the weather is warmer, Tamako is bound to wear some type of fashionable sneaker, short shorts and a cropped, sleeveless top. If an occasion is (casual) special or fun, he may even strip down to some type of bathing suit bottoms and a cropped shirt. Sometimes he likes to add high heels to his looks.

In colder weather, he wears either full or cropped sweatshirts and shorts, along with thigh high socks and boots. Sometimes he will put on a jacket and long sleeved turtleneck shirt beneath it. In the winter, he tries to dress a little more reserved than he normally might. 

Accessories 

Tamako has many accessories, though the most important are the little gems he puts inside of his ears. They're made to stick in them for several days at a time and he is able to change them into whatever shape he has bought. The usual shape he wears is the heart shape, though on some occasions primarily in spring, he will put in strawberry and cherry blossom shaped ones. 

He doesn't often wear bracelets or necklaces, but when he does; they are always made to match his outfit. He typically gravitates towards gemstone related items and won't wear anything plastic. He believes that too much plastic is bad for your health, but also a huge contributor to many sea life deaths. 

Body Modifications 

Tamako does not have any piercings, tattoos or scars. 





Design Notes 
  • Femme presenting trans-man. He is non-passing, and does not care.

  • Yes, he has booba
Positive Traits
happy outgoing crafty open minded curious
Neutral Traits
ambitious dreamy playful touchy adventurous
Negative Traits
gullible scatterbrained melodramatic nosy vain

Goals
 Tamako doesn't have very many long term goals, if any at all. His short term goals consist of trying foods from around the world and traveling, along with remaining beloved and pretty, of course. 
Hopes
 This seal's hopes in life are to remain beautiful and beloved. He also hopes to live comfortably and never have to worry about poverty or more importantly, a food shortage. 
Secrets
Tamako's most concerning secret is a secret he doesn't even know about himself.  
Dreams
His deepest dream would be to find someone who truly loves him and who he truly loves in return. He'd love to settle down by the seaside with them and just be in one another's company until they grew old and passed on.  

Well rounded and an overall happy person, it's easy for anyone to notice that Tamako is very well fit for socializing and friendliness. With a cheerful demeanor and the ability to pitch into just about any conversation, Tamako can often come off as an extroverted individual who simple adores being in the vast company of others. While that is true to an extent, Tamako's general way of talking and eccentric behavior has more often than not, run average people away from him. Speaking in third person is the easiest way for him to communicate properly with others, but it has its drawbacks. People have the tendency to make fun of him for it or find it completely unneeded and weird. Luckily however, there are handfuls who find it endearing and suitable for someone so into Japanese show business as he is. 

Tamako is not easily angered, though when angry, expresses it in childish methods. Giving the cold shoulder, snooting his nose up and pointedly ignoring another, crying and whining are several ways he conveys his disappointment in someone else. He is easily jealous, but only when he thinks someone else is getting more attention than he is from a person he holds in a high regards. 

Tamako prefers to be the receiver of affection rather than giving it. That isn't to say he isn't affectionate, as he is very affectionate; though he would much rather favor being in the position of being fawned over. Hand holding, nuzzling, and snuggling are friendly, wonderful things to him and when others share the same comfort towards them, he's thrilled. Cuddling with friends is extremely appealing to him and he will be the first to flop against someone else, just like a little seal. 

Though Tamako understands and does feel sadness on occasion, he does not feel it often. Depression isn't an issue for him and he is always triggered by outside events in the case he does feel sad. Hearing upsetting things about climate change or creatures of the ocean both upsets and motivates him to try and do better. He tends to take a motivated approach to everything that makes him sad.


Loves 
  • Ocean life & the sea.
  • Strawberry & melon boba tea. 
  • Pretty articles of clothing and accessories, such as summer kimonos and beautiful gems to put as decoration inside his ears. 
  • Cuddling with others and generally being in their body space. 
Likes 
  • Hot, comfortable weather.
  • Dancing & roller skating while dancing.
  • Japanese game shows. They're great fun to him.
  • Talking to others and being generally appreciated by them.
  • Watching television shows and eating. 
Dislikes 
  • Sour tasting foods & drinks.
  • Unnecessary humidity.
  • Split ends and hair tangles.
  • Waiting too long in lines and being in places that are too overcrowded with too many overwhelming things going on. Bringing him to the local Korn concert might not be a great idea.
Hates 
  • Gigantic bugs. Anything bigger than a dime is a big no-no for him. He especially does appreciate roaches.
  • Being left alone for too long, or being completely abandoned. He may not realize he's been abandoned at first, but once he does, he will get very upset about it.
  • Poachers & individuals who kill seals and/or rabbits simply because they can or for profit.

Strengths 
  • Keeping spirited and helping others keep spirited. He's fairly optimistic and typically looks to positivity over negativity. 
  • Heightened senses give him a better footing when it comes to survival. Unfortunately in modern society, it's completely unneeded.
  • Good swimmer. If the world was to ever flood, Tamako would surely be able to swim around for a bit. If anyone ever needed help in the water, well; he might be able to do it, but considering his weak stature, he might not.
  • Pretty looks. What isn't strong about being beautiful?
Weaknesses 
  • Physical strength. Tamako isn't at all very strong and struggles to pick up and hold twenty pounds. Thirty pounds is asking too much of him. 
  • Pretty clothes. He really, really likes pretty clothes and things he thinks he'll look appealing in. It's difficult to stop buying articles of clothing when so many of them could really look great with him sporting them. 
  • Conflict in general is a huge weakness to Tamako. He's not a good fighter at all, be it through words or fists. He's more apt to cry in either scenario or rely on someone else to keep him safe. 
  • Smarts. Because he is a spirit of the ocean and affiliated with animals, he's not exactly the smartest person to ever walk the earth. While he's certainly not the stupidest, he does lack a sufficient amount of knowledge that might've been beneficial to him. One might say he's a bit of an air head. 

Though Tamako has no magical ability or anything completely outstanding, he does have  a few perks that come with being him. Aside from being as cute as a peach and able to stop a man in his tracks at the mere sight of him, he does have a few more tricks up his sleeves. 

Heightened senses Because he has traits of both a seal and rabbit, Tamako naturally has better senses than the average person. He can hear better, smell better, see slightly better, feel the world around him better, but most importantly; taste better. His version of a banana is nothing short of God's finest work, where as our version of a banana is.. well, a banana. 
Natural disaster warning Like every other (intelligent and aware) animal, Tamako can tell when nature is going to get a little fresh or funky. He particularly does not like thunderous or stormy weather and can sense it coming from many miles away, all depending on how the air pressure, temperature and scent feels and smells. He can tell when an earthquake is going to happen a couple of minutes before it does, and he knows when a hurricane is coming to make landfall. 
Whiskery whiskersTamako's whiskers aren't just for a cute, stylish appearance. Though they're not incredibly useful, he can use them in the dark when trying to steer clear of things that might get in the way. Like a cat's whiskers, they're able to help him feel around spaces or areas and provide an extra step to sensory advancement. 

Background information:


  Youth & childhood
  Life as a baby seal

Nobody knows! Not even Tamako knows! He's always been an adult!

  What does it mean to be a seal spirit?
  Finding humanity

Tamako doesn't have the faintest idea that he is both an ocean spirit and an entity protector of seals and rabbits. As far as he's convinced, he has been part of the mortal realm since he was born. Now, what year exactly that was and who his parents might be, are a complete mystery to him. Though he has lived several lives before this one, he cannot recall them at all and doesn't particularly care to. Present and in the now, Tamako is thrilled to be part of such a big culture that admires him and knows how to cook raw food into lavish dishes with savory flavors. Though he has a gut feeling he isn't the average, ordinary person, he doesn't feel the urge or desire to find out what he could possibly be instead. He's happy with his life as it is and that's all that matters to him. 

  Stardom
  Life as an idol

Tamako has flourished as a idol for the past year and a half, though isn't a newbie to being a popular figure. He has appeared in several television shows and movies, playing primarily roles catered to him being his natural self. His first premiere in any media, however, was on a gameshow where he starred as a commentor to the wacky challenges competitors had to face. His unique mannerisms and good looks gained traction quickly after the first season and from there he soared onto several other different programs, showing as a surprise guest star. He has featured in content ranging from beauty commercials to voicing characters in shoujo and shounen nbanime, to even parts in bigger films, such as a damsel in distress to the famous Super Sentai Heroes.

As of now, he debuts as an idol who makes appearances on Youtube channels, television shows, game shows, movies and other forms of media. Though he doesn't sing, he does perform short skits and makes his own line of accessories, all with rabbit and seal mascots. He has a habit of showing up to events and supporting their cause. His favorite types of events are ones that include helping aquatic life or anything on the beach. 

  The far past
  Before modern society & memory

Long before cellphones, laptops or even AOL and cars existed, Tamako was an entity only heard of by word of mouth. He was told to be some sort of elegant geisha, a mesmerizing enchanter that didn't belong to any okiya and was a loner that couldn't be bought. Every changing phase of the moon he would show upon the doorstep of a different ochaya and serve tea that sparkled like stars in the ocean's wavy waters and tasted of heaven-sent herbs. When everyone's stomachs were settled and comfortable, he would perform an entrancing, entertaining dance, one that was quick footed like a rabbit, yet friendly and playful like a seal; until the night faded into midnight's hour. From that point through sunrise, he would eat and drink with the humans, savoring their meats and sweets, and growing drunk on their sakes while laughing at their tales with them. 

After everyone had fallen asleep, he would quietly exit and nobody would see him until the next phase had come. 


Fun Facts 
  • He can 100% do the splits and is very flexible. Though he likely wasn't too flexible before, being an idol and dancing has helped push him to learning how to bend and lean in ways that most might find uncomfortable to perform. 
  • Tamako lives in a small apartment by himself despite his status among the media. He prefers a private life whenever he isn't performing and enjoys the quiet of his apartment. He particularly likes his small aquarium full of little fish. He has named them all after colors, even if they don't match. 
  • He often donates large sums of his profit to seal agencies and any program that has to do with helping seals and protecting them from endangerment. 
  • His cooking tends to be very flavorful and he can sometimes get ahead of himself with it, making it a bit too much for a normal human's tongue. He loves to make chicken based meals and will always have a bowl of sauced rice on the table, along with various, in season fruits. Vegetables are his least favorite category of food, and he refuses to eat celery sticks. They are number one on his list of 'disliked' foods.
  • Tamako is a clean person and actually really likes to groom himself. It's easy for him to sit on a windowsill and stare outside at the world while brushing his hair. He likes getting his nails done and being pampered, but really, really likes when he gets to spend time in spa oriented bath houses with purchased facial masks. 
  • Though he's not very good at it, he does like to fish and will go out on boat tours to do just that. Somehow, such a boring activity is a thrill to him and it's almost like gacha to see what he catches. 
  • His preference in partners are large men with big, muscular arms and who are handsome and masculine. He likes personalities that are courageous and frequent with providing him attention in fun ways. His least favorite type of person is the type who is hateful, grumpy and mean.
  • He is very creative and enjoys coming up with ideas on new products that he and his fans can wear. Though he cannot draw very well, it doesn't stop him from trying to design.
  • His favorite character is Jinbesan. 

Hobbies 
  • Fishing & swimming at beaches.
  • Partaking in activities or events that are being held to the general public.
  • Drawing & designing accessories and mascot characters for his fashion line.
  • Roller-skating every other Tuesday evening. 
Values 
  • Remaining beautiful is a huge value to him and the thought of not being beautiful upsets him very much. He can sometimes be vain about his looks.
  • He believes in living with the earth like it is a living being. He doesn't like hearing about littering or that things like climate change aren't being taken seriously. 
  • Leading a fun life is of great importance and though he can live many lives, he's convinced he only has one that shouldn't be wasted! Nor should anyone else's!
Favorites 
  • Dramas & thrillers are his favorite genres of movies and television programs.
  • His favorite color is a light pink, the kind that resembles strawberry milk.
  • His favorite season is summer, since it's the hottest and there's lots of things to do.
  • His favorite fruit is a peach or mango and his favorite vegetable is a carrot (reluctantly).
  • His favorite gacha types are miniature furniture. If they're plastic, he puts them inside of his aquarium for decoration. 
  • His favorite animals are baby harp seals and holland lop rabbits.
  • His favorite thing about himself is his cheerful personality! 
Possessions 
  • A stuffed brown and black rabbit about the size of a Build a Bear. It's especially special to him because it's from Ferrin.
  • A portable, old timey radio that he is oddly proud about.
  • Sakura blossom kimono that is highly expensive and very favorable to him. 
  • Many little accessories to stick inside of his ears.

Author's Trivia
  • The development of Tamako came on pretty fast. He was actually the first character I latched onto and enjoyed drawing. Usually the characters I have are a little too perfect for me, and when it just so happened that one came along and was also supposed to be overly perfect; I decided to make him mine and go wild with him. He's been a blast to draw and I hope to continue drawing him in the future!
  • Tamako, Dallas and Cyrus don't technically know one another through their series, but since Tamako is a series traveling character and has no bounds; he knows them through AUs and RPs. Tamako and Dallas might one day have their own spin off concept. 
  • Out of all my characters, Tamako would think Gwen is the most attractive, with Dallas following in close second. He would, ultimately think however, that Dallas is far too depressing and moody for him.

Inspirations 
  • Geisha culture. I've always loved it and decided to embed it within him! 
  • Seals, of course. The baby harp seal is the most inspiration I had when making him.
  • Gaki no Tsukai, if you're not familiar, is a hilarious show. I thought that Tamako would make a great host on a show like this. 
  • He, himself, and he.
