Born stunted yet strong like the bonsai tree, the girl who calls herself Torii

Tamako was still only 13 when she was recruited into the Seven Samurai cast

to represent the element of Wood. She accepted the role and quickly became

immersed in various causes to save the SE Asian rainforests and to remind her

people how important the ‘green’ was to their everyday lives.

She is a serious activist and opposes pollution, improper hunting and fishing

and most of all, deforestation. She singlehandedly crusades against the

devastation of the Southeast Asian rainforests and has actually slain an

assassin sent to kill her at a Greenpeace rally. Fortunately the show was

already over by this point, because the images of her refusing to treat her

envenomed assailant were pretty damning, stating her case far more strongly

than any words she had uttered previously. Her words, “No, let him die and

fertilize the trees his shortsighted masters would cut down.” earned her many

enemies in the logging community, and many friends in more quiet circles.

She has gone underground so to speak and is known to have been working

on new techniques to tap the power of the wood. What frightful surprise

she will have for the authority or assassin who uncovers her hiding place

first remains to be seen…

As for her comrades, she is not in New Zealand doing voice-overs, that’s

for certain and she considers each and every one of them weak and without

will. Several of them have potential, but not a one of them is willing to

do anything about it. Even if they opposed her goals, she could at least

respect them for standing up for something. As it is, they are a waste.
