Sakanoue no TamuramaroWP (坂上田村麻呂?) was the Sei-i Taishogun and a hero of the Heian periodWP known for his exploits of slaying demons together with Suzuka Gozen.
Profile[]
Background[]
Sakanoue no Tamuramaro was ordered by the emperor to slay Suzuka Gozen, so he traveled to Mount Suzuka to battle her. Upon his arrival, she got him mixed up with Otakemaru, to whom she was sending letters, and battled him for her own reasons. While she was raving at him about Otakemaru's supposed misdeeds, Tamuramaro eventually revealed his name, causing Suzuka to freeze up at the revelation and lose the battle. Disliking having won the battle for such a reason, they deferred the match and eventually fell in love. They joined together to slay demons, including Akuji no Takamaru and Otakemaru. Defeating Otakemaru required Suzuka to pretend to be his wife for three years while slowly softening his hard skin with her powers.[1]
Suzuka eventually died at the age of twenty-six, but Tamuramaro traveled to the underworld to negotiate her revival. They were said to have lived a happy life after that point.[1]
There is however a tragic ending where Sakanoue no Tamuramaro chose to slay his beloved Suzuka because he believed she had truly deserted him for Otakemaru, leading him to slay her and history recording him as slaying both Otakemaru and his demon wife. Prior to this, they had a daughter named Shourin together.[2]

The alive Sakata Kintoki mentions him and Suzuka Gozen as great heroes who exterminated various monsters and made the country safe. The alive Minamoto no Raikou claims that she will never betray those that have helped her and will never be like Lord Tamuramaro. Hyoubi Suzuka Gozen berates the Four Heavenly Kings for how they struggle against her and that they can't call themselves Tamuramaro's successors if they let Suzuka and Touta get the better of them.
Abilities[]
Tamuramaro is strong in battle, although Suzuka thinks she would have won had she not been shocked during their fight.[1]
Suzuka Gozen says that the Onikiri Yasutsuna was his sword.[3] His main sword was the Sohayamaru. Like his wife's Daitouren sword, it can presumably split in 250 copies as in life they did a combo attack where they rained down 500 copies. [2]
