Tamaki Damo
Tamaki Damo (田最 環, Damo Tamaki) is a character featured in JoJolion, introduced as Hato Higashikata's boyfriend, later revealed to be an antagonist to the Higashikata's family.
Appearance
Tamaki Damo claims he is 23, though he appears much older, seeing as his hair is styled into a comb-over to hide his bald spot. His facial hair is styled into a goatee and horseshoe mustache. He is introduced wearing sunglasses and a dark-colored tracksuit with an image of a saxophone on the left breast. He is much shorter than Hato and is considerably overweight.
Personality
Damo appears to be nervous when first meeting the Higashikata family, as he mumbles while speaking to Norisuke IV and Joshu. This is later revealed to be a facade hiding a much colder and calculated personality, which he unveils while interrogating Norisuke. Interrogation on his immobile victims seems to be his preferred method of drawing information out, and appears to have a penchant for slicing their limbs off with a 1,000 yen bill if they do not comply.
Abilities
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.
Synopsis
Tamaki Damo is introduced as Hato's boyfriend, and from Daiya's explanation to 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 Damo Can Cleaning, while Kyo 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 prints 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 discovers his I.D. with a picture of Damo. Shortly after, his Stand becomes hostile, melting Kyo and Joshuu 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.
Dropping his awkward demeanor, Damo states that he entered the home in order to solve three problems at once. For his first goal, he plans on discovering and eliminating the culprit behind the disappearance of four of his acquaintances: an architect, two twin brothers, and a security guard.
Trivia
- His first with Joshu and Hato seems to be based on the first scene of American Bluff.
- Tamaki bears several physical references to the minor antagonists, Pesci, Ringo Roadagain, and Shigekiyo Yangu.
