{{main|Vitamin C}}
[[File:Damo's weapon.jpg|thumb|150px|His preferred weapon]]
Damo's [[Stand]] Vitamin C enables him to "soften" human bodies to turn them into something as malleable as putty or as viscous as liquid. He then takes advantage of his victim's softened state to torture them for information or kill them outright. He typically cuts them with 1,000 yen bills or other thin objects.
 
On one occasion, Damo even inserts a living fish inside his victim's body and watches it swim.

==History==
Line 80 ⟶ 76:
Damo was born as a nameless [[Rock Humans|Rock Human]], and subsequently stole the name "Tamaki Damo" from some hapless human. He subsequently set shop at a cleaning shop named "Damokan Cleaning". At the same time, he led his men in the [[Locacaca Organization]], using it to sell the [[Locacaca]] to a handful of wealthy people for a hefty price.
[[File:Damo tortures Kira.jpg|left|thumb|Damo tortures [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]].]]
On August 19, 2011, Tamaki Damo and his accomplice [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]] stow aboard [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]]'s ship and ambush both him and [[Josefumi Kujo]]. Kira attempts to stop Damo with his [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]], but [[Vitamin C]] softens Kira, Josefumi and their Stands. Damo reveals that he's aware of the duo's plan to steal and graft [[Locacaca|Locacaca Branches]] to grow their own fruits. He informs Kira that after the two stole the branches, Damo and his men searched for four months straight to find the culprits. Damo proceeds to interrogate and torture both Josefumi and Kira on the ship, trying to gain information as to their motives for stealing from him. He then states that the one who tells him the truth and betrays the other will be spared. After Kira and Josefumi escape, however, Damo furiously orders his men to search for the two and kill them, not knowing that Kira is already dying from the interrogation/escape and Josefumi is about to be fused with him due to the [[Wall Eyes]].
 
After all of his men were killed in short order, Damo decided to confront the [[Higashikata Family]]. During a photo shoot in a studio next to Damo's shop, he approached [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] when one of the {{MI|"I Love You" Necklace|necklace}} she was wearing broke. Damo picked up all the pieces and repaired it, offering the necklace to Hato. Moreover Damo managed to write the sentence "I Love You" on the necklace, and Hato was seduced by the incredibly romantic gesture and he became her boyfriend. During their short time together, Damo and Hato had sex twice and bathed together five times.

====[[Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home (storyStory arcArc)|Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home]]====
[[File:Hato tidies Damo's hair.png|thumb|Hato tidies Damo's hair]]
In the present day, Tamaki Damo is introduced as [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]]'s boyfriend, and from [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]]'s explanation to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] the first she has ever had or brought home to meet her father. Everyone is taken aback by his appearance, aside from Joshu, who is humored by him and even snatches the man's sunglasses off of his face and undoes his comb-over in reaction to his nervous mumbling. Damo presents Norisuke IV with a box of chocolate yokan he bought from the store near his cleaning company Damokan Cleaning, while [[Kei Nijimura]] and Norisuke IV notice that his fingerprints are left behind on things he has touched and are sticky and wet to the touch, suggesting that he also has a Stand. Nijimura also sees several clawed hand printshandprints left behind him in the entry way, and Joshu is too amused with his family's guest to notice the fingerprints on his own arm.
 
Upon looking for info about Josefumi, [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] discovers his I.D. with a picture of Damo. Shortly after, his Stand becomes hostile, melting Kei and Joshu away into the walls and a sink drain respectively, their fates currently unknown. After Daiya is affected by his Stand while trying to give the fax sent by Yasuho to Josuke, Damo convinces Hato to go look for her. Due to now being alone with Norisuke, he immobilizes the latter with his Stand and explains his motives.
Line 95 ⟶ 91:
Norisuke continues to feign confusion when pressed with more questions from Damo, but is tortured further as Damo has a fish flop about in Norisuke's liquefied body. It isn't until Damo threatens to murder the entire Higashikata family with Hato being killed in front of him that Norisuke cracks and confesses what he knows about Josuke's connection to Josefumi Kujo. Josuke then confronts Damo, demanding that he free the Higashikatas. Once a tearful Hato also approaches Damo, he melts her and rushes Josuke with Vitamin C. Soft & Wet is revealed to have planted bubbles on Hato, allowing her to escape from Vitamin C's liquid prison. Damo renders Josuke's body into a puddle using Vitamin C; preparing to kill him until he is attacked from behind by multiple spikes. Hato reveals herself as a Stand user and proceeds to viciously impale Damo using multiple spikes fired from her body, all while crying over Damo's betrayal. Damo, now terrified by his girlfriend's unknown powers, attempts to bargain for his life, insisting he was just joking and still loved Hato as she climbs a wall using her Stand to confront him.
[[File:Damos death.jpg|thumb|Damo's death {{Nsfw}}]]
Damo, now seriously wounded hurries to the fireplace while Hato scales the house. He berates Hato under his breath while gathering the liquefied Norisuke and shoving him into the fire pit. Damo hopes Hato will attempt to save her father from burning to death and in the process, touch Vitamin C's fingerprints. However, Josuke's bubbles reveal his location, allowing Hato to fire her Stand's spikes through the roof and into Damo's skull. The attack leaves Damo fatally wounded and damages Vitamin C enough to turn everyone that was liquefied back to normal. Damo flees from the house while trying to escape the Higashikatas, but runs into Josuke on a sidewalk. Damo once again tries to bargain for his life, offering to become Josuke's ally and supply him with Locacaca fruits to help his [[Holy Joestar-Kira|mother]]. This ultimately backfires, however, and Josuke swiftly delivers a punch to Damo's head; killing him as his body crumbles into rubble.

==Creation and Development==
[[Hirohiko Araki]] writes in the author's comment of Part 8's [[JJL Volume 14|fourteenth''JoJolion'' volumeVolume 14]] that when listening to music there are artists that make him wonder to himself, "How have I not heard about an artist this talented and this amazing for decades? Where were they, and how did I not hear about them? Why were they hiding from me until now? What a shocking encounter". Such an example is the band {{W|Can (band)|Can}} and its now former lead singer {{W|Damo Suzuki}}, hence the name of {{nihongo|Tamaki Damo|田最 環|Damo Tamaki}}. The kanji for {{nihongo|"Tamaki"|環}} can be read as either "''Tamaki''" or "''Kan''".
 
Several aspects of Damo's appearance and backstory appear to be based on the character Irving Rosenfeld from the 2013 movie ''{{W|American Hustle}}'', as Damo shares a very similar body build, hairstyle and pair of sunglasses with him. His occupation of owning a dry -cleaning service and having committed identity theft are both also shared between the characters.
