Tsunenaga Tamaki

Tsunenaga Tamaki is a major antagonist, the Assistant Warden and de facto tyrant of Deadman Wonderland.

Appearance
Tamaki has a fox or weasel-like appearance, being fairly slim and skinny. He has a narrow face on which is almost always a smile. His hair is dark grey and combed backwards, although there is always one strand of hair that is standing upwards. His hair is a little longer in his neck.

He always wears a grey suit with a a white, formal shirt, accompanied by a blue tie. He also wears glasses.

Personality
Under his calm, almost idiotic attitude, he is something of a sadist, caring nothing about the fact that he butchers dozens of prisoners every day for the sole purpose of gathering money or experimenting on them, or simply, and mainly, for his own twisted amusement. He eagerly hoped for the death of the director to become truly the supreme ruler of the prison, and he devotes much of his time and resources in studying and experimenting on the powers of the Branch of Sin and their origin.

History


Before the Great Tokyo Earthquake, Tamaki was a reclusive and indifferent computer otaku who spent hours if not days secluded in his room, playing games, not caring anything even about his own family. On the day on the earthquake, his computers and game consoles were destroyed. The power was down, so he searched for the back-up generator. In his path, however, lay his mother, who cried for help. Tamaki, who was hurried to keep playing, ignored her and left her to die. When the generator was running, Tamaki realizes that his games were broken. This sent him over the edge of sanity and led him to engineer Deadman Wonderland as a gigantic game, so as to keep playing as he did before the earthquake.

Plot
He also is in contact with the upper echelons of the Japanese government, his ultimate goal being the synthesis of artificial Deadmen. In sharp contrast with his cruelty, he enjoys playing with children's toys. It is later revealed that his sick game was really just part of his plan to kill the Wretched Egg. Through his research he has created a being that, according to him, will soon hunt down and kill all beings with Deadman powers, including the Wretched Egg, for nutrition. Nevertheless, when confronted by Toto, who revealed himself to be the real Director of Deadman Wonderland, and made aware that he himself was no more than another pawn in his own game, Tamaki shot himself in the head as an ultimate assurance that this was his, and only his, game.
