From Japanese 富 (tomi) meaning "wealth, abundance" and 江 (e) meaning "bay, inlet". Other combinations of kanji are possible. This name is borne by the character Tomie Kawakami (川上富江 Kawakami Tomie), the titular character of the horror manga series Tomie by Junji Ito. Tomie is a mysterious, beautiful woman identified by her sleek black hair and a beauty mark below her left eye. She acts like a succubus in that she can make any man fall in love with her to a delirious and disturbing extent. She is psychologically manipulative and can drive people into jealous rages that often lead to brutal acts of violence through her mere presence. Men kill each other over her, and women are driven to insanity as well. Tomie is inevitably killed time and time again, only to regenerate and spread her curse to other victims. She can also replicate herself by sprouting unnaturally from any part of her body, whether it be from severed limbs, organs, or even her blood. This prevents her from ageing, making her effectively immortal.
