Character	Tamaki Marui
Appearance	Love! Sushi Ranger
Media	Otome Game
Type	Yandere
Love Interest	Protagonist

Tamaki is an energetic and cute boy whose original form is a tamago sushi. Although he looks very young, he is actually the same age as the protagonist (18 years old). He is a great help to the sushi restaurant due to his cooking skills. However, Tamaki can act spoilt, and gets jealous easily.

SPOILERS AND PERSONAL OPINION

Tamaki is straightforward in what he wants, and wasted no time in declaring his love for the protagonist. While initially appearing cute and innocent, his demeanor quickly becomes overbearing and imposing.

Tamaki would follow the protagonist around all day long, essentially keeping all her time for himself. He would also get irritated when he sees the protagonist interaction with anyone else other than him. In addition, he had also repeatedly declared his desire to make the protagonist his, regardless of what she wants.

When the protagonist became apprehensive of the situation and tried to tell others of her worries, Tamaki will intervene and prevent her from doing so. He went on to gift the protagonist a black bracelet, remarking that it looks like a handcuff, and reminded her not to remove it.

In his bad ending, he ended up knocking the protagonist unconscious and bringing her into a hidden apartment. Trapping the protagonist in the apartment, he vowed to spend all the time with her, with only the two of them, forever.

For such a short game and character route, I felt that Tamaki’s character was portrayed reasonably well. Outwardly, he looks cute and harmless. However, through his story, it is evident that there is more than meets the eye.

Even though I went through the game many decades ago, I still remember his character well. It is unfortunate that the game is no longer available, or I would have played it once more!
