Tamaki amajiki⁴

appearance

Tamaki is a tall young man with quite pale skin. His ears are pointed, similar to those of an elf. He has messy indigo hair that sticks out behind his head and small, tired-looking eyes; his forehead is partially covered by his bangs despite the fact that they are supposed to be parted to avoid impairing his vision. His shoulders are usually hunched, and he avoids making eye contact with people. When wearing his school uniform, Tamaki wears his attire in a careless manner. His tie isn't fully tightened and his shirt isn't completely tucked in as it should be, making it seem like he doesn't put much effort into his appearance.

hero name

Suneater

hero costume

Tamaki's Hero Costume consists of a black bodysuit decorated with gold-like decoration around the arms and shoulders. He wears a white tunic, as well as a matching cape and hood that features more gold plating on top of the hood. The cape connects to a scarf-like collar that features a silver mask on the front. He also sports a purple mask over his face, as well as a matching carrier vest with red straps. He wears a mask over his eyes and has no shoes, giving him more freedom when using his Quirk.

personality

Tamaki is extremely shy, aloof, depressed, and introverted, especially in public. He gets nervous very easily when talking to other people. If his anxiety gets the better of him, Tamaki will often walk away and lean against a wall to hide his face from others.[2] This also happens when Tamaki has a bad feeling or feels insulted.[3] Tumblr pftnrbviDN1wzavojo1 1280 Tamaki hides his face from view. Tamaki does not believe that anyone should undermine another person's hard work. He noticed that Class 1-A was unable to recognize the amount of work Mirio Togata put into honing his own power and even showed his face to comment on it.[4] He is also quick to point out when others are overly optimistic in his pessimistic opinion and is unable to recognize his own achievements. His pessimism is a direct contrast to the optimism of his teacher, Fat Gum. Even after being complimented by Fat Gum, Tamaki often receives his mentor's praise as ridicule.[5] While his physical abilities and Quirk are exceptional, Tamaki is very socially awkward and lacks confidence in his own powers and abilities, as shown when he belittled himself for manifesting extra wings while trapping villains. He is seemingly overwhelmed by the pressure to be perfect and this has damaged his self-esteem, pushing himself to the limit in order to live up to the expectations set by Fat Gum, Mirio, and others who believe in him. [6]

personality

Despite his timid heart, Tamaki is fully capable of showing flashes of bravery and takes his job as a Hero and the responsibilities it entails seriously. Even though he has been shy and reserved since he was a child, Tamaki was able to hone his skills and rise into one of UA's Big Three. Mirio is a great inspiration to Tamaki and their cooperation throughout their lives has led Tamaki to establish his own set of stern beliefs that he will uphold and vocalize. Mirio often gives Tamaki the inspiration to take action even when he feels anxious. In the mission against the Shie Hassaikai, inspired by Mirio's bravery, Suneater displays a shining flash of courage, taking on the challenge of taking on three powerful Yakuza alone so the others can complete the mission. [7] Tamaki is shown to be calculating and intelligent, as in his fights he can quickly analyze his opponents' powers and devise different strategies until he defeats them.

Gift

Manifest (再さい現げん Saigen ?): Tamaki's Quirk grants him the ability to manifest the characteristics of anything he has eaten. The more of the substance Tamaki eats, the stronger his manifestation will become. Additionally, anything he manifests is significantly stronger than normal, as seen by how his crab-like claws were able to easily crush metal weapons. She can only manifest the traits of substances still in her system, and she loses access to those traits once the substance is fully digested. She needs to replenish her Gift every day and must decide what foods to eat beforehand. After vigorous training at UA, Tamaki is able to use multiple manifestations at once, control the size of the manifestation, as well as accurately choose the best characteristic of whatever he has eaten to suit any situation. Chimera Kraken (キメラ・クラーケン Kimera Kurāken?): Tamaki's arms transform into a pair of four incredibly large tentacles covered in suction cups, which he uses to strike in a large area, hitting multiple opponents. Chimera Centaur (キメラ・ケンタウロス Kimera Kentaurosu?): Tamaki transforms his lower body into the lower half of a horse, grows horns, and his hands transform into vines that hold different hard fruits on the end of which he uses to hit multiple enemies at once.[9]

skills

Overall Abilities: Tamaki is one of the most powerful students at UA, along with Mirio Togata and Nejire Hado, who are known as the Big Three. Tamaki has been said to have skills and abilities that far surpass those of most Pro Heroes. Tamaki has mastered his Quirk through vigorous training. He possesses the ability to manipulate feature selection, size manipulation, and simultaneous manifestations. This gives Tamaki's fighting style incredible variation and unpredictability.[8] Tamaki makes sure to eat plenty of takoyaki and clams every day because he believes they are great for both offense and defense. He often uses his tentacle fingers to bind his opponents and defends himself using a clam shell.[5] Tamaki also has a variety of other powerful combinations, including using chicken claws reinforced with octopus muscles or tentacle fingers reinforced with crab shells. Fat Gum strongly believes that Tamaki's skills are above his own and an entire team of pro heroes and students that included the rest of the Big Three, Ryukyu, Eraserhead, and Rock Lock.[6] Tamaki has proven his strength on multiple occasions. He was able to effortlessly neutralize dangerous villains before they temporarily erased his Quirk.[5] Tamaki's mettle was proven when he faced Toya Setsuno, Yu Hojo, and Soramitsu Tabe of the Shie Hassaikai in a 3-on-1 fight and was confident that he could take on the Yakuza trio on his own. In an Emergency Drill, Tamaki defended himself against Mashirao Ojiro's rapid attacks and momentarily trapped him without being able to move. Also in the Drill, he kicked Izuku Midoriya off guard and during the Paranormal Liberation War, he was able to quickly render several members of the Liberation Front unconscious with just a Super Move.

skills

Enhanced Speed: Tamaki possesses incredible reaction time when using his Quirk to attack or fight. During his and Eijiro Kirishima's internships with Fat Gum, Tamaki was able to quickly outmaneuver both heroes and easily defeat two villains who were fleeing from the police. Before facing the three Yakuza alone, Tamaki acted quickly to slam Toya, Yu, and Soramitsu against a wall before they and the present Heroes could react. Improved Durability: Despite receiving severe blows from Yu Hojo's crystals to his face and body, Tamaki possesses enough resilience to block one of his attacks and counterattack him, Setsuno, and Soramitsu, defeating them before finally losing consciousness. Even with the injuries from his fight against the Yakuza, he was able to regain consciousness and carry an unconscious Mirio while single-handedly stopping Chronostasis.

skills

Tactical Intellect: Tamaki demonstrates incredible tactical judgment during fights. He acted quickly to trap Toya, Yu, and Soramitsu at once to give the Heroes an advantage. After doing so, he declared that it was a bad idea for all the Heroes present to fight all three Yakuza at once, correctly deducing that the villains were trying to stall the heroes as long as possible so Overhaul could escape with Eri. He noted that the rest of his comrades, especially Eraserhead, had better save their Quirks for when they go deeper into the Yakuza stronghold and need to be at 100% of their power to break through the shifting walls caused by Mimic's Quirk. During his battle against three of the Eight Bullets, Tamaki displayed his ability to strategize in the midst of battle. Tamaki attempted to manifest the neurotoxin from an octopus's saliva within his arm, knowing that Soramitsu would be unable to move if he ate the appendage. Even when overwhelmed by the trio's camaraderie, Suneater was able to quickly develop an improvised strategy. He disrupted their teamwork by first obscuring Toya's vision, knowing that the item-stealing villain relies on sight to use his Larceny, then used Yu Hojo's crystal against him by devouring them and creating a solid defense to stop Hojo. After defeating the trio, Tamaki removed their masks and kept them on hand as a precaution, having witnessed Toya reveal that he had a dagger hidden within his own mask at the start of the fight.
