Tamayo Osugi (大杉 珠代, Ōsugi Tamayo) is the wife of Takao Osugi and the mother of Suzuno Osugi, the Priestess of Byakko. She first appears in Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden, and later again in Fushigi Yuugi: Byakko Senki.

Character[]

Tamayo is a kind and gentle woman who does her best to take care of the Osugi house and her family. She's also one of the two persons who know that the murder-suicide of Einosuke Okuda and his daughter Takiko Okuda was not just a random fatal incident, the other being her husband Takao. Tamayo strongly resembles Suzuno, save for having dark hair and eyes.

Story[]

Byakko Senki[]

Tamayo died at the beginning of Byakko Senki when the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake destroyed Tokyo. She was in the kitchen of the Osugi home and couldn't escape in time, so she was crushed to death by the debris. Tamayo's best kimono (which she wore in her and Takao's wedding) becomes a keepsake for Suzuno, who was using it as a cape when she barely escaped the same fate and was sent into the Universe of the Four Gods by a dying Takao.

Later, Neiran puts said kimono on since her own clothes were taken away when she was imprisoned by Sairou caravans. She initially intends to give the kimono back to Suzuno as soon as she obtains other clothes, but she later uses it as part of the fake evidence that she is the Priestess of Byakko, usurping Suzuno's spot as such.

Trivia[]

  • The name Tamayo means "bead, pearl, gem, jewel" (珠) (tama) and "generation" (代) (yo).
  • Tamayo's surname Osugi means "big, great" (大) (o) and "cedar" (杉) (sugi).
