Tomoe (Kamisama Kiss)

Tomoe is the main male protagonist from the Kamisama Kiss series.
== Charactah Account ==
Tomoe is a familiar to the last land god, Mikage. Currently he is the familiar of Nanami and sealed their contract with a kiss. He shows a wonderful talent for cooking and is shown to be highly dedicated to the shrine. Tomoe worries a great deal about Nanami and is very aware of how delicate she is as a human, threatening anyone who harms her or speaks ill of her. It is often implied that he loves Nanami, such as doing random acts of kindness for her and refusing to kill in front of her. Plus, it is also indicated that he sometimes gets very jealous of other guys who hang around her. He is also very loyal to Nanami, as shown by him kissing her to seal their contract again after it had been broken.
In the most recent chapters it's revealed that Tomoe is in fact in love with Nanami, but Nanami is unaware of this. However, this triggered a "switch" that causes Tomoe to return to his dying curse and remember his love for Yukiji, the girl he previously loved. It is shown that when she died, Tomoe, cursed and alone, lost his will to live and searched for a place to die until Mikage found him and sealed his memories. By doing that, the curse fell asleep and Tomoe was able to live a new life.
After Tomoe's dying curse returned, Nanami embarked on a journey to save him and nullify his dying curse. She time-travelled back to the past, and it is revealed that she was the one Tomoe originally fell in love with in the past, not Yukiji. She was the one inside Yukiji's body when Tomoe first met Yukiji in an abandoned house 500 years ago. Nanami was also the one who cared for Tomoe when he was almost killed by the villagers and turned into a child, and Nanami was also the Yukiji who promised Tomoe that she'll marry him one day and gave her hairpin to him as a proof of her promise.

== Trivia ==
* The name Tomoe means "earth", "death" and/or "blessing" in Japanese.
** The name Tomoe is a rare female Japanese name that means "friend and blessing". It's also a Japanese abstract shape (a swirl) that resembles a comma or the usual form of magatama. The symbol is quite similar to the Yin-Yang symbol for balance and it is made up of interlocked flames resembling tadpoles.
* Tomoe wears different outfits in the anime and manga:
** In the manga, Tomoe is seen wearing fancy kimonos with butterfly patterns.
** In the anime, Tomoe is seen wearing regular kimonos (some of which are adorned with flower patterns).
* Tomoe is actually over 628 years old.
* In the manga, Tomoe's eyes are portrayed as being yellowish or even green in color, but in the anime and some of the covers of the manga, his eyes are a purple color.
* According to Akura-ou, Tomoe has a fox-like habit of hiding his precious things. This could explain why Tomoe is always trying to hide Nanami Momozono away from others, males included.
* Tomoe refers to Nanami in different formal names:
** In the manga, Tomoe refers to her as his "Master".
** In the anime, Tomoe refers to her as either his "Lady" or "Mistress".
* Tomoe seems to have a fascination with hair.
** In the manga we see Tomoe kiss Yukiji's hair while holding her. He buys Nanami a hairpin even though she rarely puts her hair up, and then finds a reason to use it later (showing that he is good at hair styling). He plays with young-Nanami's hair in the 12 Zodiac arc. We also see him getting his hair cut (after he is changed back to normal from his chibi self). In chapter 92 Tomoe holds Nanami while patting her head, touching her hair.
** In the anime, Episode 6, Tomoe plays with her bangs after checking her temperature.
* Tomoe's favorite food is sasamochi (bamboo leaf-covered rice cake). He came to like it because originally Nanami fed it to him when he was injured in the past arc although he has no recollection of it in present.
* In the manga, Tomoe had 3 types of hairstyles, one similar to Kirihito Mori's current hairstyle, a bob cut and his long hair, however, in the anime, Tomoe was only seen having the latter two.
* Tomoe never fell in love with Yukiji and the woman he fell in love with was Nanami - who was disguised as Yukiji. Tomoe described the things he loved about Yukiji to Kuromaro, all of which were about Nanami or things she had done while in his presence.
* Tomoe has only ever shed tears twice in the manga, but never in the anime.
* Due to Tomoe's hair length, catlike ears, and tail, most of the fans often compare Tomoe to Inuyasha, the half-demon from the anime series Inuyasha.
* Tomoe has shown a fondness for roller coasters.
