Atsuma Ooyama (大山 あつま Ōyama Atsuma) was a Blood Pointer user, and the wife of Takeshi Ooyama and the mother of Takeru Ooyama. During his ten years in isolation, Tesshin Kushiya considered her his role model, and she was considered one of the greatest threats to Takeru Yamato upon his revival, despite being a member of Kamigari.
She died ten years prior to the start of the story due to an unknown disease, although Tesshin was able to discern that she was already dying during their fight.
History[]
Ten years before her son would enroll at Tenbi Academy, Atsuma was challenged by Tesshin under the orders of Ouken Yamato, who considered her to be a threat due to her Blood Pointer ability. She was caring for Inaho at the time, and during the fight shamed Tesshin as a father, asking if his behavior was that of a true parent. During the fight, she must have demonstrated her Blood Pointer ability, as Tesshin was able to imitate her sometime later. Soon after the battle she died due to an unidentified disease.
Abilities[]
Blood Pointer - As a member of the Ooyama family, Atsuma possessed the Blood Pointer skill, allowing her to drain elements from their environment through her mouth. This ability would increase her strength and healing her if necessary. It also weakens the people who she drained the element from.
Expert Martial Arts - Being one of the leaders of the Ooyama dojo, Atsuma was very skilled at martial arts. In particular, her greatest strength was claimed to be her right fist, which was considered deadly (Tesshin's attempt to copy her style resulted in a right punch that could blow someone away and cause damage just from the wind pressure).
Etymology[]
- Atsuma's surname Ooyama means "big, great" (大) (o) and "mountain, hill" (山) (yama).
