Description
Accidentally summoned by Honmaru Edojo from the Great Magic Encyclopedia, the young, self-proclaimed wizard Tarurūto hails from a magical realm. He swiftly becomes Honmaru's best friend, offering magical aid against various challenges. His magic, however, proves inconsistent, typically lasting only 10 minutes and frequently backfiring or yielding unintended results. This unreliability, stemming from youth and inexperience, contrasts sharply with his boasts of greatness and makes him inept compared to peers like his sister Ria Kinakamo.
Physically resembling a small child, he wears a concealing helmet over spiky brown hair. His most notable feature is an overly long, thick tongue, utilized for both combat and object interaction, particularly in video game adaptations. He wields the ability to alter his size, shrinking to inhabit a drawer in Honmaru's desk or enlarging body parts like his face or tongue. Unexpected physical strength also surfaces, allowing him to overpower foes like the bully Jabao Jaba or confront adversaries such as Nezo Zakenja.
His personality radiates childlike innocence and cheerfulness, marked by a tendency to form instant attachments. Attention deficits often distract him, especially when his favorite food, takoyaki, is involved; he consumes Matsugoro Naniwa's version voraciously. This obsession drives plots like the film "Suki Suki Takoyaki," where he battles to restore Matsugoro's stolen "takoyaki soul." While generally cheerful, he exhibits rare outbursts of anger when his friendship with Honmaru is threatened or when defending Honmaru's honor.
Key relationships define his role. His deep, mutual protectiveness with Honmaru evolves, though Honmaru eventually desummons him to pursue independence. Honmaru's mother, Chizuru, and classmates like Iyona Kawai view him as a surrogate younger sibling. Other significant connections include his sister Ria, who visits Earth to locate him, and Mimora, a fellow wizard infatuated with him who uses the affectionate term "Taru-sama."
Tarurūto's primary narrative concludes when Honmaru releases him after elementary school graduation, symbolizing Honmaru's maturity and marking the end of Tarurūto's central role across the manga and anime.
