Tomite is a Genbu Celestial Warrior. In the original Fushigi Yuugi series, he, along with Hikitsu, guards the Shinzaho left behind by Takiko Okuda, the Priestess of Genbu. In Genbu Kaiden, he has a much larger and important role, despite initially appearing to kidnap Takiko. Tomite is very close to his fellow warrior Hikitsu, and has a slight crush on Takiko.
