Kizaki, Tamayo

木崎珠代

Tamayo is 12 years old and serves as both a friend and classmate to Misaki. She calls Misaki "Misakichi" and displays a rather eccentric personality. One of her preferred pastimes involves practicing martial arts moves on her reluctant friend, Kotaro. During Angelic Layer matches, she consistently cheers loudly for Misaki and stands up for her against anyone who doubts her skills. It is subsequently revealed that Tamayo has harbored intimate feelings for Kotaro all along; this might explain why she insists on adding "chan" to his name (which Kotaro protests is reserved for "girls and little kids") rather than "kun," even though he is in middle school. She volunteers to act as Misaki's "second" for the national game match against the Angelic Layer Company's angel, following Hatoko's illness, before Misaki accepts Ohjiro's offer to take on that role.
