Personality

A fierce will to win drives Tamao, yet she accepted her third-place finish with grace. That competitive fire flared again in a later private rematch against Isono and Chōji, where she and Isono butted heads, quite literally, in their scramble to settle who was best.

History

Tamao stood among Chōji's rivals at the Land of This eating contest. Clearing the opening two rounds, she reached a final barbecue duel against Isono and Chōji. To gain an edge she wolfed her food down as fast as she could, wielding a Double Chopsticks method that let her eat with a pair of chopsticks in each hand at once. Her ambidextrous approach and bottomless capacity carried her to third place and a small wicker basket as her prize.
