Appearances

• Persona 4: Dancing All Night: Supporting Character

Design

Tomoe is a mature-looking woman with long wavy navy hair and eyes. Her dance outfit is similar to Kanami's but is aqua and blue with a blue-trimmed white scarf.

Personality

Tomoe appears to be a calm and cool person who cares deeply about her fellow members of Kanamin Kitchen, seen from how she chastises Inoue about overworking Kanami. As the leader of the group, she constantly wears a mature personality so as to keep the group in line. Many, specifically men, view her as attractive for the sultry and dominant image she portrays, some even choosing only to support the group for her.

Tomoe's greatest insecurity is devotion, as she wants to protect the people she loves, but fears that if she cannot feel any love, she cannot protect them. She is shown in actuality to be very shy and nervous, quickly losing her cool after being thrown into the Midnight Stage over the disappearance of her groupmates. It is revealed that she had an embarrasing hobby, which spurred others to mock her in high school when she revealed it. As a result, she came to distance herself from others and strive for a more confident and appealing self.

After she reverts back to normal, she opens up to others about her hobby. It is revealed that she loves reading manga and watching TV, is bad at talking to people, scared of holding hands with boys, and likes to stay home in her kotatsu. She even shares certain traits with Yukiko, such as forgetfulness and spontaneous laughing fits.

Profile

Persona 4: Dancing All Night

Tomoe is a member of Kanamin Kitchen. She and the other members somehow ended up in the Midnight Stage. She is the second person found by the Investigation Team in her stage. Yosuke notices how she is completely different from the Tomoe they knew from television. Suddenly the Eerie Voice taunts her about her position as leader of the group and her choice about whether to take responsibility for or abandoning it.

After Tomoe submits to the shadow's will, she is transformed into a Shadow. Her appearance takes the form of a seductive hostess with a blue butterfly mask and prominent breasts.

After she reverts back to her normal self, she is kept safe inside what resembles a back room of Takura Productions. Ochimizu appears, revealing to Yu's group that the song the group was supposed to perform at LMB, The Morning Glory, Calystegia, was actually from the deceased idol, Yuko Osada. As with Tamami, who she claims is still safe, Ochimizu decides to stay with Tomoe while the Investigation Team go to rejoin Rise's group.
