Tomo

Tomo Takino is an excited young lady. She is an active and enthusiastic person that never considers, nor cares about, the consequences of her actions. This usually irritates those around her, especially Yomi, her classmate/friend since elementary school. She is easily moved into trivial competitiveness that seldom reaches her self-imposed goals, to the indifference of her classmates, and usually receives awful test scores (in which she has a perverse pride).

Tomo is, however, capable of doing well if she tries — though the only notable instance of this is getting admitted to their prestigious high school, and she only did this to annoy Yomi (as well as actually scoring better than Chiyo at a P.E. test once, for similar reasons). She also likes to irritate Yomi by teasing her about her weight insecurity. Tomo's favourite foods are fried chicken, egg roll, meat-balls and bananas. During the second trip to Chiyo's summer home, Tomo grabbed Chiyo's house keys and flung them into the overgrown yard to see what would happen if they lost them, then afterwards, while looking for it says "If I, like, found the key and threw it again, it would be totally hilarious." She later attempted to throw the key again after the keys were found but was pinned down by Sakaki. She also got a stool and put it in from of Chiyo when she was sleeping to torment her for sleeping so early.

Despite this, Tomo cares for her friends in her own way. Tomo also constantly imagines that she is competing with others. She is a fan of the graphic novel and animation series Lupin III and sometimes compares herself to the character Fujiko Mine, despite being completely different in appearance and personality.

Tomo is more interested in dirty stories and sexuality in general. Dirty jokes are Tomo's "forte".

In sum, Tomo is the "life to be enjoyed" kind of person.

Appearance: Tomo is of medium-short height for a Japanese woman her age. Her figure is slim, but she considers herself underdeveloped and tends to be jealous of girls who are "better endowed" than she is. When not in uniform, Tomo dresses in casual but fashionable clothes, favoring pantsuits over skirts. Although she wore her hair long her first two years of high school (another attempt to emulate Fujiko), she switches to a shorter hairstyle in third year that she sees as more in keeping with her choice of profession.
