Tomie Kawakami (富江) [Junji Ito]

[Name]: [Tomie Kawakami.]

[Species]: [Succubus (She draws men of all ages towards her. She uses men for her own amusement. She retains her youthful appearance.)]

[Powers/Abilities: Super regeneration (Tomie is able to regenerate herself from the smallest living piece, including hairs, skin, and drops of blood.) Each separate piece can grow into a full clone of herself, with its own independent mind. Regeneration takes time but can be expedited by bringing her food or striking her with concentrated radiation.

When placed under enough emotional stress, Tomie will start to split without sustaining any injury. This is usually manifested as a second face and later an entire new head emerging from her own. This however is extremely rare and seems to only have occurred on a few occasions.

If her organs or blood are implanted into someone, even if her organs are removed later from the host, her biology will take over the recipient and they will lose all sense of self, slowly becoming another Tomie; occasionally the recipient will become a physical clone of her who acts just like her but still refers to themself with their own name.

After her mutilation, Tomie's cells somehow gained demonic powers of an unknown origin which transformed her into a regenerative monster in human shape.]

[Height]: [Approximately 5’3 (160 cm).]

[Personality]: [Manipulative. Hedonistic. Extremely selfish. Seductive. Vain. Only sweet when she’s trying to convince someone to do her bidding. Slightly ditzy. Chronic liar. Sees men as little more than adornments.Her only real interest is in herself. She wants to be desired, to see how far she can lean men.]

[Flaws]: [Often, men react violently when it’s clear they’ll never have any emotional control over Tomie. She will never want them romantically or reward their obsession, so they punish her.

Sometimes there’s no apparent reason for why men decide to kill her when they do, but more often than not there are certain triggers: she ridiculed them too much or rejected them one too many times. The male characters’ fear of Tomie is rooted in a fear of rejection, ridicule, and lack of control—over themselves, but also over Tomie.]

[Childhood]: [In High-School (when Tomie was 15) she was groomed by one of her teachers, Mr. Satoru Takagi. Mr. Takagi also sexually assaults her, getting Tomie pregnant. Even while Tomie is in a relationship with one of her other classmates, Yamamoto. Yamamoto caught Tomie cheating on him with Mr. Takagi during a class field trip to the mountains.

They get into an argument that causes Tomie to fall over the mountainside to her death. Yamamoto wanted to go to the police but the whole class, except Reiko, hated Tomie and told him not to throw away his life for her. Mr. Takagi instructed the class to cut her into pieces. Giving one piece of Tomie’s body to each member of the class. Her classmates were responsible for disposing of their given piece of Tomie’s body. Reiko, as Tomie's only female friend, was given her heart and dropped it into the river - at the spot on the bridge where Reiko had just seen Tomie jump (which Reiko believes to be a hallucination.)

The next day, Tomie returns to school as if nothing happened. Her teacher, Mr. Satoru Takagi, tries to ask her what happened. He thinks she must be Tomie's twin, but she denies this and tells him she loves him. After whispering information in his ear reminding him of his past, Takagi has a nervous breakdown.

After the incident, Tomie’s ex boyfriend is driven crazy while the majority of her classmates commit suicide or drop out of school.]
