Haruki Tamaki

Haruki Tamaki is one of the most powerful characters in the entire series. He is also the partner of Kurumi.

## History

Sometime before the beginning of the series, Haruki was in a relationship with Monika but then left her for Kurumi.

Haruki Tamami was first seen arriving on Ninja Island Resort with his partner Kurumi. The two of them checked in to the best room, but then it was already taken by Anthony Kingston and his party. Haruki wanted revenge, but then his luck came when Ran showed up. Haruki Tamaki gave her the Queen of Spades Climax Card for Kenji Uroninja to use. Suddenly, when he went back into his room, Kurumi was gone and Monika was there instead. Later, it turned out to just be a VR simulation.

During the start of Season 2, Haruki Tamaki visited the Ruined Mansion of Sorrow in his sleep and met Akinom.

### The Ninja Island Prophecy

When Darkprism visited Ninja Island, they sent Yuri to assist Haruki in solving a prophecy that would take place in Season 2. Kate Something brought Kurumi back as an incentive to get Haruki Tamaki to help Darkprism so that Kenji wouldn't have to. Haruki then found out who the prophecy was referring to, so he went to Gensokyo to find her...

...except that it was actually a red herring. Haruki Tamaki only went to visit Sakuya Izayoi so he could borrow some of her knives. Sakuya wasn't involved in the prophecy at all. Tamaki then returned during the fight between Kenji Uroninja and Shadow Kenji, and he used his own powers to defeat Shadow Kenji and send him to the Moon.

### Following the White Rabbit

In Season 3, Haruki Tamaki ran into a White Rabbit that fell from the Moon. He then found out about the Great Diamond Ninja Island Cup and believed that Arcturus was planning something sinister. Haruki then visited Gensokyo and invited Remilia Scarlet to Ninja Island via a letter given to Sakuya. He then traveled to the Shadow Dimension and borrowed "*Through the Looking Glass"* from the Ruined Mansion of Sorrow's library. Using that book, he fused it with a diamond sword and a Queen of Hearts Climax Card to make a Vorpal Sword.

### The Prophecy of Sayori

Later, Haruki ran into Monika, who warned him that soon, Sayori and Iroyas were destined to fight each other and destroy Ninja Island Resort. Tamaki ignored it for now, as the prophecy could only come true if 13 Touhou characters appeared in the series, and so far, only twelve appeared, until Reimu Hakurei showed up. Haruki Tamaki then worked with Kenji Uroninja during the finals of the tournament and stopped Shadow Kenji from interfering in the match.

After that, Kenji went to fight Ultima Kuroninja, who was unsealed during the duel between Sayori and Iroyas, thanks to Yukari Yakumo. Kenji was almost defeated until Kenji Uroninja and Anthony Kingston arrived. Once Shadow Kenji also came, Haruki combined everyone's powers into the Red Joker Climax Card, which he used to defeat Ultima Kuroninja once and for all. Haruki then became the new CEO of Ninja Island, after Kenji, who was given the title by Arcturus, gave it to him so he could go on vacation.

### Ninja Island Manager

As the manager of Ninja Island, Haruki converted the resort into a maid cafe. He also fired everyone except for Sayumi Shiina, whom he promoted to head maid.

One day as manager, Haruki found one of the Ultima Shards, which was colored red. He accidentally summoned a portal to Hell and summoned a succubus. This succubus, named Maya, eventually became his personal assistant and companion.

Later, after an invasion from some ghost pirates, Kenji Uroninja found out about how his assistant, Aya, was fired, and went to Haruki's office to give him a piece of his mind. However, at the same time, Yuri, who was the head maid, got the red Ultima Shard and revealed that she was working for Darkprism the whole time. Yuri fled with the shard, but Haruki stopped her and the shard ended up in the hands of Luke Amano, who also turned out to be evil, so Haruki and the others went to Skull Island to try and stop him. There, Haruki defeated Luke Amano and his master, Recnam Orcen.

Suddenly, Darkprism forces appeared on Skull Island, but Haruki refused to give them the red Ultima Shard, so Dark Kenji sent Devil Tower One to fire its eye laser at Haruki. However, it was Maya who ended up on the other end of the laser. Haruki Tamaki was enraged at this and destroyed Devil Tower One with ease.

## Personality

Haruki Tamaki isn't really a good guy or a bad guy, and prefers being more of an opportunist. He also doesn't really care for anyone unless it benefits him (such as when he only helped Kenji Uroninja get rid of Anthony Kingston because Anthony Kingston took the best room). The only person Haruki Tamaki cares for besides himself is Kurumi.

## Powers and abilities

Haruki Tamaki has some powers, but he has never used them yet.

* **10 of Hearts:** Haruki uses a 10 of Hearts Climax Card in combat, which allows him to manipulate time. According to Anthony Kingston in Ninja Island 6, the card contains so much power that Haruki Tamaki could accidentally hurt Kurumi if he used it. The card announces "くるみ" before it activates.
	+ **Freeze Time:** Haruki Tamaki can freeze time as one of the features of the 10 of Hearts. To do this, he cries out "時間よ止まれ！" which means "stop time!" in Japanese.
* **Joker:** Haruki uses a Joker Climax Card along with his 10 of Hearts, which allows him to deal additional thunder damage with his attacks. The card announces "ひびき" before it activates.
* **Noisnemid Egnahc:** This spell allows Haruki to travel to other dimensions. He was taught this spell when Akinom used it on him, and he learned it by recreating the spell with a magic scroll and an Enchanting table. Haruki Tamaki uses this spell mostly to travel to Gensokyo, but he doesn't really use this spell that much.
* **Red Joker:** Haruki uses the Red Joker Climax Card during his fight against Ultima Kuroninja. It combines the power of four Climax Card-users with different suits and brings all that power to the one who activated the Red Joker. The card announces "ハタノ" before it activates.

## Trivia

* Haruki Tamaki looks like Agent 100, but he isn't wearing a watch and his tie is red-orange instead of red.
* As a Climax Card-user, Haruki Tamaki is represented by the suit of Hearts (♥️):
	+ Most of the things he does is based on his emotions or his love for Kurumi.
	+ During Season 3 he created a Vorpal Sword which has a heart-shaped pattern in it.
	+ Almost everything involving the Climax Card connects directly to Tamaki, similar to how all the arteries and veins in the circulatory system are connected to the heart.
	+ Tamaki is also the one who made most of the Climax Cards in the series.
