Tomo Takino
Source: Azumanga Daioh
Debut: Azumanga Daioh (1997)
Nationality: Japan
A rather energetic and loud girl with a knack for challenging others, getting competitive, and charging in while screaming. She's constantly excited for what each day could bring and loves messing with her friends. Tomo will never let an opportunity to gain everyone's attention fly by... for better or worse. Her energy atleast brings some sort of positive aura to her friend group, despite their annoyance with her.
Playstyle: Hit-and-Run/Mix-Up
Tomo isn't just energetic, she's also extremely cocky. She constantly loves painting the spotlight onto herself and does things on a whim out of amusement or for the sake of a reaction. While her energetic side is represented with her excellent mobility, her cocky side is represented via her moveset itself. The tools she has may not be effective per say, but they can prove to be extremely irritating to deal with. As a result, Tomo is a hit-and run fighter focused on weaving in and out, disrupting setups, and in general being an annoying piece of shit that won't leave you the fuck alone. While definitely annoying, Tomo's low damage, range, and KO power means that Tomo will have to do a lot of work before she can even attempt a KO. Which is not helped by her below average weight and the fact that she falls like a brick. So while charging in like Leeroy Jenkins can work, you can't be stupid about it either, and will need to use her mix-up tools to help mitigate these critical downsides.
