Each separate piece can grow into a full clone of herself, with its own independent mind. Tomie is able to regenerate herself from the smallest living piece, including hairs, skin, and drops of blood. This drive is almost universal and even applies to parts of her, as characters were driven to cut up her hair as it grew without any previous knowledge that it would grow further. People enthralled by Tomie tend to feel a mixture of intense love and hatred towards her, often beginning as the former and shifting towards the latter as time passes.Įventually, either due to love or due to hate, people will be driven, often irrationally, to kill and chop her into pieces. Tomie's mere presence seems to drive people to become fixated on her, both positively and negatively. As well, she seemed to view humans far lesser, and would partake in cannibalism while regenerating. Each would use their powers to bend men to her will and order them to kill and burn the other copies. The only thing ever shown to effect her after this was when an individual resisted her abilities which would cause her to start to obsess over them.Įventually, every Tomie would even start to see other clones as lesser and would begin a war against each other. Over time, her ego grew, as she considered herself the most beautiful woman in the world and saw everyone else as lesser. The only thing that would bother her is being called or shown as a monster, this causing her to go into a blind murderous rage and send her minions to kill the offending party. After her resurrection she began to see men as simply tools for her to use while still attempting to retain some plausibility into her cover. She had a crush on and had a intimate relationship with her teacher before she died and seemed to be genuinely in love with him. Initially Tomie was a love struck girl who was liked by the guys in her class but disliked by the female students.
There have been numerous live-action adaptations of Tomie's stories, with the character herself being portrayed by a wide variety of actresses. She is one of Junji Ito's most recurring characters, appearing for a grand total of 3 series: Tomie, Tomie: Part 2 and Tomie Again. Tomie is a manipulative, hedonistic, and extremely selfish woman, seducing men to do her bidding. Tomie's hair is normally long and black, but in certain versions it is shorter but still black, while in others it is light blonde. Tomie Kawakami is a young woman frequently described as almost impossibly beautiful by those she meets.
