Summary
Tooka Yatogami, also known by the codename Princess, is a central female protagonist in the Date A Live series and holds the distinction of being the first Spirit successfully sealed by Shidou Itsuka. Originally appearing with the name Tooka, she was renamed by Shidou to commemorate the tenth day of their initial encounter, with Reine subsequently adding the Yatogami surname. As a AAA-Class Spirit with Spirit number 10, she attends Raizen High School alongside Shidou and works with Ratatoskr. Her Angel, Sandalphon, manifests as a Throne-type weapon, specifically a gilded broadsword whose scabbard is formed by the throne itself. Her Astral Dress is identified as Adonai Melek, associated with the Sephira Malkuth. Born on April 10 and standing 155 cm tall, Tooka possesses a youthful and energetic demeanor that often borders on naivety. Having spent her existence sealed away before her unsealing, she is largely ignorant of worldly customs and human social norms, which occasionally makes her appear gullible or childlike. Despite this lack of experience, she retains a normal sense of embarrassment, frequently overreacting to situations involving nudity or social faux pas. She harbors a deep affection for Shidou, a bond that solidified after he saved her from the relentless attacks of the AST. This relationship causes her significant distress when she perceives threats to it, such as when Shidou accidentally kisses Yoshino or when Origami Tobiichi enters the picture, leading to frequent, albeit minor, quarrels between Tooka and Origami over Shidou’s attention. Her combat capabilities are formidable, characterized by high offensive power and significant mana reserves that enhance both her physical strikes and defensive capabilities. Sandalphon allows her to encase her sword and body in mana for powerful physical attacks or to unleash high-energy beams. The throne component serves as a support machine, capable of transforming into a transport vessel or being split in half to unlock her ultimate weapon, Halvanhelev. Although her power was sealed by Shidou, she retains the ability to recover a portion of her original strength through intense focus or emotional turmoil. Her attributes include high strength, consistency, spiritual power, and agility, though her intelligence stats are notably lower. Tooka’s perspective on humanity shifted dramatically after her rescue. Initially hating humans for their hostility and desire to eliminate her, she came to appreciate the world through Shidou’s kindness. She actively supports Shidou’s mission to save other Spirits, such as Kurumi, and participates in battles to protect them. She shares a close, energetic bond with Kurokawa Kaguya and its twin Yuzuru, though their unique manner of speech can sometimes confuse her. Her favorite sentiment reflects her gratitude, noting how Shidou saved her and showed her the beauty of the world, contrasting sharply with her previous isolation.
