Description
Tomori Takamatsu is a first-year Haneoka Girls' High School student with short ash brown or gray hair and rose-gold or red eyes. Her band outfit consists of an oversized white jacket featuring blue stripes and chartreuse yellow straps, layered over a black turtleneck and shorts, paired with blue-and-white shoes. Casually, she wears a dark blue and pale yellow hoodie with dark blue shorts and black-and-white sneakers. She stands 155 cm tall, and her November 22 birthday makes her a Scorpio.
Tomori displays a kind but sensitive personality, frequently struggling in social situations through stuttering, avoiding eye contact, and assuming blame for conflicts unrelated to her. Her social difficulties and unique habits—collecting rocks, fallen leaves, animal-design band-aids, and pill bugs—led to her nickname "Haneoka's Weirdo Girl." She finds comfort in konpeito candy, seasoned seaweed, and furikake, yet avoids raw eggs, salmon roe, and cod roe, perceiving them as "full of life." Visits to planetariums and aquariums soothe her.
A deep-seated sense of not belonging originated from childhood challenges in forming friendships. During her third year of middle school, a chance meeting resulted in forming the band CRYCHIC with Sakiko, Mutsumi, Soyo, and Taki. CRYCHIC disbanded abruptly after their debut performance, devastating Tomori and fueling her self-blame.
As MyGO!!!!!'s vocalist and lyricist, she channels emotions into songwriting but initially battles stage fright and hesitates to share lyrics. Her development includes shifting from "watashi" in daily speech to "boku" while singing, reflecting a bolder stage identity. A turning point occurs when Uika Misumi encourages her to express feelings through poetry, leading to a solo poetry reading that evolves into an impromptu MyGO!!!!! performance of "Shicho Kizuna."
Her relationships are complex, particularly with former CRYCHIC member Shouko. After Shouko departs MyGO!!!!!, Tomori attempts reconciliation by gifting a notebook of her feelings, only to discover it rejected with a "Please stop" note in her shoe locker. She later confronts Shouko at her home, declaring, "Shou-chan, let's play in a band!" Though Shouko initially rebuffs her, questioning if bands bring happiness, Tomori persists, writing lyrics like "I Want to Be Human II" to convey her yearning for normalcy and connection.
Band conflicts, including tensions involving Mutsumi Wakaba and online criticism, challenge MyGO!!!!!'s cohesion. During a live performance, Soyo and Taki bring Shouko and Mutsumi back, culminating in a collaborative rendition of Tomori's new song "Kasuga Kage," which addresses her unresolved feelings toward Shouko. She admits the song is "about you" but acknowledges lingering confusion.
Shouko later proposes reviving CRYCHIC alongside MyGO!!!!!, triggering Tomori's indecision. At a planetarium visit with Mutsumi and Uika, she shares a notebook detailing her conflicted emotions about choosing between bands. After open discussions with both groups, Shouko apologizes in a letter, wishing Tomori happiness. MyGO!!!!!'s final concert at RiNG features songs like "Itsunichisen Shu" and "Takion Da," marking her growth as a vocalist and lyricist.
Her name "Takamatsu" blends "tall" and "pine tree," while "Tomori" means "light from a torch or lamp," contrasting with her mother Hikari’s name, meaning broader physical light.
