Tsunenaga Tamaki

Tsunenaga Tamaki is the first major antagonist of the manga and anime Deadman Wonderland. He acts as Deadman Wonderland's Promoter, and is essentially the de facto tyrant of Deadman Wonderland. The anime also depicts him as the son of Deadman Wonderland's Director.

Appearance and Personality
Tamaki has a fairly slim build. He has a narrow face and is almost always depicted smiling. His hair is dark grey and combed backwards, although there is always one strand of hair that is standing upwards. His hair is longer in the back, reaching his neck.

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

Beneath his calm, goofy, almost idiotic attitude, he is quite sadistic, not caring at all that he has dozens (if not hundreds) of prisoners slaughtered every day for the sole purpose of making money or expiremnting on them. More often than not, he does this simply for his own sick amusement.

He is also shown to be very deceitful, punishing Nagi Kengamine for intentionally throwing a fight that pitted Nagi and his wife against each other during Carnival Corpse (she was pregnant with Nagi's child at the time and Nagi did not want to hurt her) by having his wife killed and their unborn child preserved for study (being the child of two Deadmen, the child was apparently of high scientific value to him) and later feigning sympathy towards Nagi for doing so.

In stark contrast to his sadistic tendencies, his office is littered with children's toys that he enjoys playing with when not working. He eagerly hoped for the death of Deadman Wonderland's Director so that he could finally control the prison/amusement park for himself. He devotes much of his time and resources into researching and experimenting on the powers of the Branch Sin, its origin, and the various Deadmen that are infected with different strains of the virus.

Background
Before the Great Tokyo Earthquake (a massive earthquake that sunk seventy percent of Tokyo and killed 150,000 people resulting from the Wretched Egg awakening) ten years prior to the events of Deadman Wonderland, Tamaki was a reclusive and indifferent computer otaku who would spend hours (if not days) shut up in his room, playing video games and not caring about anything else (even his family).

When the earthquake struck, his computers and game consoles were destroyed. The power was down, so he frantically searched for a backup generator; in his path he encountered his mother, who begged him to help her. Wanting nothing else but to play his games, he completely ignored her and abandoned her to die. When the generator was up and running, Tamaki realized that his games were all destroyed. This shattered his mind, and led him to engineer Deadman Wonderland to act as a gigantic video game, so he could keep playing like he did before the earthquake.

Plot
He initially appears posing as a lawyer, "defending" Deadman Wonderland's protagonist, Ganta Igarashi (who was framed for killing his classmates when in reality it was the Wretched Egg). He presented false evidence to the court to ensure that Ganta would be sent to Deadman Wonderland.

The next time we see Tamaki, he is presented as the promoter of Deadman Wonderland. He speaks to Chief Warden Makina about her assault of Yoh Takami. He asks why she didn't explain to Ganta the death sentence rule. Makine says there is no point in explaining it to him since he will die in an "accident" at the construction site. She questions why it is being done so soon, to which Tamaki explains that he is impatient.

Tamaki is next seem watching the "Dog Race". He begins to get complaints about the Dog Race and high authority's demand that they see the Director of Deadman Wonderland. However, Tamaki response saying that he is in control because his "father" is a "living corpse".

Tamaki is then seen making a deal with Yoh Takami: If Yoh watches Ganta for him, Tamaki will give him enough cast points to but his sister out of prison. Yoh accepted the deal and began looking after Ganta. Tamaki then gets a call telling him that the mother goose system is down and that the Wretched Egg has escpaed. Tamaki tells his workers to do whatever it takes to get the mother goose system working again. Meanwhile Tamaki looks at the Wretched Eggs actions and notices that Ganta is a deadman. This fills Tamaki with excitment as the mother goose system turns back on and the Wretched Egg is recaptured. Yoh complains that he dosent want to work with something crazy like that but Tamaki offers him more cast points, leaving Yoh to stop complaining.

Later, Shiro, Yoh, and Ganta were caught while breaking into G-block and destroying a robot. Tamaki lets Yoh and Shiro go beacuse they have no value to him, but he experiments on Ganta. He begins by telling Ganta his true identity and that he provided the court with false evidence in order to get Ganta sent to Deadman Wonderland. Ganta is enraged by this and tries to kill Tamaki using his branch of sin. However, Tamaki pushes a button that makes Ganta feel emense preasure in his body. Tamaki then begins to toy with Ganta but is stoped by his worker. Tamaki then shows Ganta a video of a Deadman Wonderland event that Ganta will be participating in callled the "Corpse Carnival". This event is about two deadman fighting to the death or fighting until one of them can no longer fight. The loser gets a body part taken away from them which is used for study. Tamaki then opens a fridge filled with deadman body parts. Tamaki tells Ganta that he will be fighting against Senji Kiyosama. He then lets Ganta back into his cell.

Tamaki is then seen watching the fight between Ganta and Senji. Tamakis doctor asks him what will he do if Gantas dead, Tamaki says that he wont care because he has no intrest in "broken toys". Tamaki begins laughing as he sees Gantas suffering, but when Ganta defeats Senji, Tamaki gets suprised.

He is next seen in Minatsukis past story giving off a sadisitic grin while Yoh has a breakdown because Minatsuki is getting sent to Deadman Wonderland.

He is next seen with Deadman Wonderlands Director, teasing him and telling him that the next Carnival Corpse fight (Ganta vs Minatsuki) will be intresting.

Tamaki begins to watch the fight between Ganta and Minatsuki. However, when Yoh interferes, the guards begin to move him out of the way. Tamaki then orders the guards to stop because the audience had a good reaction to Yohs interference. After Ganta defeats Minatsuki, the audience gets mad because he lets her live. Ganta begins fliping off the audience and even yells at Tamaki to end that days Cranival Corpse (in which he does).

Tamaki is then seen in Nagis past story, he is senn punishing Nagi for losing on purpose by playing the penelty game with his wife. Nagi and his wife try to escape but Genkaku shoots his wife dead.

He is then seen bragging about how he will be Director of Deadman Wonderland. However, his bragging stops when the doctor/scientist informs him about Gantas blood crystal in his chest, the Nameless Worm.

Tamaki then discovers that the Director of Deadman Wonderland is dead, making him the new Director. As a celebration, he went bowling with the Directors head.

He is next seen in G-Block (the secret prison block where Deadmen are housed) with Genkaku. He tells Yoh that Cast Points (Deadman Wonderland's currency) cannot be used to buy the freedom of Deadmen, so Yoh cannot buy his sister's freedom. Yoh tries to attack Tamaki for deceiving him and using him for nothing, but Genkaku beats him down. Tamaki takes his leave while Genkaku goes off to confront a particular Deadman.

It is later revealed that his sick game was all just part of his plan to finally kill the Wretched Egg. Ironically enough, Hagire Rinchiro, in the body of Toto Sakigami (the strongest Deadman), reveals himself to be Deadman Wonderland's true director, and Tamaki is made aware that he himself was nothing more than a pawn in Rinchiro's game. Tamaki next shoots himself in the head in a delusional assurance that this was his, and only his, game.
