Minamoto no Tokitomo is the primary guardian to Prince Kazuhito, the Emperor's half-brother embroiled in a political conflict against the reigning imperial faction. Standing 195cm tall with long black hair typically tied in a ponytail and wearing an eyepatch, Tokitomo executes his duties with unwavering loyalty to Kazuhito's commands, even while privately questioning their ethical justification. This tension between duty and conscience defines him. His role necessitates routine antagonism toward the protagonist, Karin, and her allies, acting on Kazuhito's orders. When Karin accidentally disrupts Kazuhito's cloak in the capital, provoking the prince's rage, Tokitomo intervenes to de-escalate. He advises composure and formally halts Karin's pursuit, demonstrating pragmatism in mitigating his charge's volatile impulses. Tokitomo later accompanies Kazuhito during an attempt to frame Crown Prince Akifumi for treason, where Kazuhito manipulates vengeful spirit-influenced retainers to attack Akifumi. His presence at this event underscores continued allegiance to Kazuhito's faction despite its tactics. Tokitomo harbors unspoken doubts regarding the righteousness of Kazuhito's ambitions, sustaining an internal struggle between professional responsibility and moral judgment.
