Urato Tomiyama (富山 浦人 Tomiyama Urato) is a Department of Floaters agent. He is partnered officially with Inasuke Akagashi and unofficially with Kaguya Hazama and Momoka Shigisawa, forming an unofficial agent ensemble called the Four Demonly Kings (四夜叉王).
Agent Profile[]
Appearance & Physical Characteristics[]
A 188 cm tall man with a muscular build and tanned skin. He inherits his bronze-red hair color and green eyes from his home fic, but has a pointy haircut. He speaks in a Kansai accent, and his voice is said to be like a combination of Makoto Furukawa and Yūki Kaji.[1]
He is more physically capable than his friends, as seen when he suffers no negative effects from a mission that forces the agents to perform ballet despite having no prior ballet experience[2], is good at playing Just Dance while his friends aren't[3], and kills Suvians by barehandedly hitting their heads.
Personality[]
Since he didn't have much of a character in his home fic, most of his personality is developed during his time with the PPC. He's a staunch "manly man" who has "manly" interests and cannot keep a tidy room. He's highly boorish and has little to no concept of gracefulness or manners, and is often irritated by his partner Inasuke, who likes cute things and is quite vocal about it. He has a tendency to nickname people he knows, up to and including his superior the Floating Hyacinth, whom he calls "Hotetchi" (from hoteiaoi, the Japanese word for the plant species)[4].
He dislikes badfics and Suvians in general, but is most strongly annoyed by badfics that contain large amounts of plagiarism of the source materials they're based on, citing that they are boring and unoriginal.
Urato is homosexual and is attracted to Kaguya despite considering him an enemy at the same time.
Background[]
- Home fic
- For details, see: "Of Jumbled Storytelling Orders and Historical Aberrations"
He was originally named Hajime, an improbable member of the Matsudaira clan and the first love interest of a highly abusive Sue. He was supposed to die in the fic, but was rescued, renamed and recruited in time and participated in bringing down the Sue. After undergoing PPC treatment, he joined the DF with Inasuke as a partner.
Official background
After sitting in a reality room, his improbable family relation was removed and he was given a character background completely independent of the events of TouRabu canon: an ordinary human youth from Osaka who happens to live in the canon's time period. His birthday is June 21, the same as Kaguya's[3] (making him a Cancer).
Relationships[]
- Inasuke Akagashi: His official partner, rescued from the same badfic as him and sharing RC 🤘 with him. They often disagree and clash due to contrasting personalities and interests; Urato considers Inasuke's taste for cuteness sickening. He is nicknamed by Urato as Inatchi.
- Kaguya Hazama: His rival, though Urato is also attracted to him. Similar to Inasuke's case, the two disapprove of each other's behavior: Kaguya sees Urato as boorish and uncultured, while Urato sees Kaguya as uptight and old-fashioned, mockingly referring to the latter as a yamato nadeshiko[3]. Nicknamed Guyatchi.
- Momoka Shigisawa: Generally on good terms with her. Nicknamed Momotchi.

Trivia[]
