Tahomaru

Tahomaru is a secondary antagonst of the remake 2019 Dororo. He is the youngest son of Daigo Kagemitsu and Nui No Kata. He is also the younger brother of main protagonist, Hyakkimaru.

Appearance
Tahomaru is a youth who bears resemblance to his father, Kagemitsu Daigo. He has a pair of black eyes and black hair that spikes outwards. His hair is also brushed back and tied into a ponytail. Similar to his father, Tahomaru has slanted eyebrows, which gave him a serious look on default.

Later on, he lost his right eye after getting slashed and has a scar blinded his eye after his humiliating defeat by his elder brother, Hyakkimaru.

Personality
He was a once headstrong, daring adolescent, who wanted to be the best for his parents; often doing dangerous acts to get attention. Although he is still young, he feels confident enough to take over his father's mantle and fight for his country. Unlike his father, however, he is very much right-minded and willing to risk his life for his subjects.

Rather than standing his ground for morality, he understands that killing his elder brother may "save" his father's land.

Tahomaru harbors extreme jealousy towards his elder brother, Hyakkimaru for their mother, Nui No Kata, focused her attention more on Hyakkimaru by going as far as stabbing herself for her love for him. On the other hand, Tahomaru couldn't get any attention or any love from her at all, even during his childhood. Due to Nui's favouritism towards Hyakkimaru, Tahomaru also believes that his mother doesn't care or love him. After his defeat by Hyakkimaru, Tahomaru doesn't care about his mother's well being at all.

Tahomaru became vengeful and embarrassed of his scar from his humiliating defeat by his elder brother. Since then, he has adopted a colder and corrupted personality, killing his enemies including civilians without remorse and forbidding his emotions from getting in the way of his life and fighting much as his father. Now, he is bent on fighting Hyakkimaru once more by training with his retainers till night to prepare for his rematch against his brother. In spite of this, he still retain his emotions when Hyogo got severely injured from the rockfall from Shiranui cause them retreat.
