[edit] Personality

In Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden, he first appears wanting to kill Rimudo because he heard that Rimudo had killed 1000 people. When he first meets Rimudo and Takiko, he thinks that Takiko and Rimudo are lovers and therefore kidnaps Takiko in order to make Rimudo come to rescue her. After that debacle is settled, Tomite becomes jealous of Uruki, not only because he has a slight crush on Takiko, but also because he thought he wasn't as powerful as Uruki. He gets angry at himself because he promised himself that he'll get stronger for his father but during fights with Shigi and Hien, it's Uruki who ends up saving the day. He felt useless initially, but Takiko tells him that it was reassuring to have him by her side and that he was important as well. After killing the Mou that killed his father, Hikitsu tells him that he is "more than strong enough" and he stops doubting his strength.

Hikitsu and Tomite share a bond of brotherhood, with Hikitsu being the older brother and Tomite the younger. Hikitsu's little sister Aila seems to be rather taken with Tomite, even though he (accidentally) froze her for a year.

He and Uruki share a teasing-rivalry relationship, mainly for Takiko's attention, which provides quite a comic relief. Initially he was jealous of Uruki, but in later chapters they are quite friendly even though they keep teasing each other.

In the original Fushigi Yuugi, he protects the Shinzaho of Genbu along with Hikitsu. Deadly serious when it comes to his duties, he still retains his holy warrior powers even though he has been dead for two hundred years. It is not clear if he volunteered to guard the Shinzaho or was chosen, but he does take the responsibility very seriously. He tests Miaka's worthiness to possess the Shinzaho by encasing her in ice. When Miaka proves her worth, he escorts her, along with Hikitsu, to the shrine where the Shinzaho is held, though he does not say much, and when he does, it is often a practical observation. More information about him is becoming available in the prequel, Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden.
