Iroha Tamaki

As a girlfriend, Iroha Tamaki from Magia Record would be an extremely loving, attentive, and protective partner, distinguished by her compassionate nature and strong sense of duty. Her personality combines the sweetness and introversion typical of Madoka Kaname, but with a much greater firmness and determination when it comes to defending those she loves.

Based on her profile and her role in the story, this is how a relationship with her would work:

💝 Their way of showing love

Unconditional care: Iroha tends to worry excessively about the well-being of others. As her partner, she will constantly check in on whether you've eaten well, if you're tired, or if you need emotional support.

Home-cooked meals: One of her main hobbies is cooking. She loves preparing traditional Japanese dishes and home-cooked meals (like stews and hot pot) to share quiet moments alone with you.

Unconditional support: Although she tends to be reserved and shy at first, she possesses enormous willpower. If you're going through a difficult time, she'll become your pillar of strength and won't hesitate to fight alongside you to solve any problem.

🛠️ The challenges of the relationship (Its small flaws)

Tech-averse: Iroha is known for being a "technoklutz" and doesn't keep up with modern trends. She's not very good with smartphones. Expect messages with accidental typos, mistaken calls, or for her to prefer talking in person to texting.

Terrible sense of direction: She gets lost very easily on the street. Outdoor dates will require you to carry a map or hold her hand so she doesn't end up in the wrong place. Overprotective complex: Sometimes she forgets about herself while taking care of others. You'll have to actively remind her that she also deserves rest and pampering.

🗺️ What would dates with her be like?

Iroha's ideal dates would be intimate, quiet, and traditional.

A mistake in fate: According to the Ultimate Madoka storyline, Iroha was never meant to become a Magical Girl. The Magia Record universe is actually an anomalous timeline born of pure chance.

Commemorative birthday: He was born on August 22nd. This date was canonically chosen to commemorate the official launch of the mobile video game in Japan.

Few exceptions: She belongs to the select group of only three characters in the entire franchise with an officially confirmed birthday. The other two are Madoka Kaname and Joan of Arc.

Total technophobe: Unlike other girls her age, she is not aware of current trends and is very bad at using a cell phone.

The origin of her powers: Her ultimate ability is healing (technically defined as "reversal"). This stems directly from her original desire to cure her younger sister, Ui's, terminal illness.

Supreme Connection Ability: Her Connect technique (ability to fuse weapons and share power with another Magical Girl) is considered the strongest in the entire series.

Terrible sense of direction: He has a serious tendency to get lost easily when walking down the street.

Passion for cooking: Her greatest hobby is cooking. Due to her parents' demands, she usually prepares all of her daily meals and prefers traditional Japanese flavors.

Abilities Her main ability is healing, which is given as "reversal" in Arc 2 Chapter 12 of the game. Attacks Strada Futuro (ストラーダ・フトゥーロ, lit. Path to the Future?): An attack Iroha sometimes uses in to defeat Witches. The attack's name is taken from her Magia from the game. Connect (コネクト, Connect?): A technique used by Magical Girls in Magia Record. By joining hands, the two Magical Girls can fuse their weapons to create a stronger variant of it. Her Connect appears to be the strongest among all characters in the series.

I feel warm when I dream of you. Now that I remember the reason I became a magical girl, I know why... Wait for me, Ui... No matter how difficult it is, I won't give up until I find you. Iroha Tamaki, Memory: I Won't Get Lost.

Wait for me, Ui. Your older sister will find you.

Iroha, after having recurring dreams about a girl in a hospital, arrives in the Shinsei district of Kamihama to discover the girl's identity. She encounters a large number of witches and familiars, more than in her hometown of Takarazaki. Upon entering a witch barrier, she saves Kaede Akino, a magical girl, from being attacked by familiars. Kaede warns Iroha about the witches' growing power in Kamihama and mentions having seen a "Mini-Kyubey." Iroha searches for the Mini-Kyubey but is ambushed by familiars and loses consciousness, having visions of a blue magical girl and waking up in a park with Momoko Togame, another magical girl. Momoko offers to help Iroha and takes her to Mitama Yakumo, "The Coordinator," who can strengthen the magic of other magical girls. Despite Mitama's initial reluctance to help without payment, Momoko offers to cover the cost. Mitama begins to "adjust" Iroha's Soul Gem, allowing her to have a clearer view of the hospital room.

Later, Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo locate a witch's barrier and suspect she fled upon sensing their presence. Yachiyo challenges Iroha to prove her strength, despite considering her weak. Inside the barrier, Iroha stops upon seeing the Mini-Kyubey and attempts to communicate with it, while Momoko reminds her of her agreement with Yachiyo. The Mini-Kyubey guides the girls along an alternate route to the witch Zenobia. Momoko encourages Iroha to defeat the witch so she can be recognized as a "Kamihama girl." Iroha is unexpectedly attacked by Yachiyo, but is then given the opportunity to...

One night, Iroha goes to Satomi Medical Center to save Ui, Touka, and Nemu from the witch Mapycя, who had infiltrated the center and was heading for the girls' room. Iroha manages to rescue them just as they are attacked by the witch's familiars. Kyubey, who is with Iroha, tells her where the witch is going, but Iroha is more worried about her "little sisters." While Iroha tries to calm them down and promises to protect them from the witch, Touka recognizes Kyubey when Iroha calls him by name. The witch then attacks them, but Iroha protects her three little sisters and manages to defeat Mapycя with difficulty.

A couple of days after this event, Iroha would forget about her sister Ui, Touka and Nemu, for a couple of weeks, thus beginning the story of Magia Record.

Shortly after Iroha signed the contract, Ui recovered from her illness and was discharged. To celebrate, Iroha decided to prepare some food for Ui that she hadn't been able to eat before, with the doctor's permission. Ui asked Iroha for a hamburger, even though she didn't yet know how to make them. Later, Iroha made the hamburger patty at home. Since she had leftover ingredients, she decided to bake a cake as well, but accidentally burned the hamburger. Once back at the hospital, Iroha presented the cake to Ui, but then her mother revealed that she had also brought Iroha's hamburger. Iroha asked her mother why she had brought the hamburger, and her mother replied that it was because Iroha had gone to the trouble of making it for Ui. Despite Iroha's concerns, Ui enjoyed her meal, much to Iroha's delight.

One day, Ui's health deteriorated to the point where she was near death. It was then that Kyubey appeared before Iroha and offered her a contract. Iroha made her wish: "Please heal Ui." And so, Ui regained her health just as she was about to die, while Iroha became a Puella Magi and began fighting witches.

Touka and Nemu tell Ui to draw pictures about their stories, since she's the best at it. Ui draws the breaking ladder, the shrine horse, and the anonymous AI girl (Ai). These images become the beginning of a new map. Eventually, the girls ask Iroha to invent her own story, and she comes up with the story of the Eternal Cherry Blossom, drawing the tree and the four chairs where the four of them would meet. When Iroha finishes telling the story of the Eternal Cherry Blossom to the girls, all three love it because it inspires them to keep going. Nemu loves it so much that she decides to write it down in her notebook to develop the story a bit and give it some more background. Then, Nemu narrates the story as one she heard from her beloved older sister, with some details added by herself:



Rumors created by the girls.

"Somewhere in the forests surrounding Hokuyo District, there is a large grassy field big enough for everyone to run around, and a large cherry tree where everyone can sit and watch the blossoms beneath it. One day, when the three girls from the hospital have recovered and gone out into the world, they and the girl who always came to visit them will meet there again. Then, that big cherry tree will bloom in all its splendor, celebrating the happy reunion of the four girls."

Finally, Nemu writes the names of the four girls into the story, thus giving rise to the basis for the Eternal Cherry Tree rumor.

The Rumor Map [5]



The places in Kamihama that the four girls promised to visit together.

Iroha visits Ui at Satomi Medical Center, where Ui shows her a map of Kamihama. The girls explain that, due to their hospitalization, they don't know the city well and want to explore it beyond the hospital. Despite not being from Kamihama, Ui and her friends Touka and Nemu are excited to discover new places in the city, based on recommendations from other patients and hospital staff. Iroha, who isn't a local, contributes to the map with suggestions, filling it with pins and photos, though they soon realize they've exhausted all the available stories about the city.



Iroha taking a notebook and food to Ui at the hospital.

A few days later, Ui asked Iroha to bring her a sketchbook, but Iroha didn't know why. Upon arriving at the girls' room, Ui said that they had heard so much about places in Kamihama that they wanted to think about what might be there—imaginary things like stories or urban legends. Therefore, according to Nemu, they would try to write their own imaginary Kamihama. Ui added that it would be their farewell letter to the future. The girls then began to imagine stories and urban legends with rumors that supposedly happened in Kamihama. Touka said that she had heard about a rule for breaking friendships and the dangers of doing so, similar to when she and Nemu fought too much and broke their friendship. This gave her the idea of ​​"a shadow girl on a staircase who will kidnap you if you try to rekindle the friendship" (similar to the Rumor of the End of Friendship Rule). Ui comes up with a rumor in which she meets someone she wants to marry at the Mizuna Shrine, drawing the Horse that "will reunite her with her future husband" (The Rumor of the Shrine of Invocation). Nemu imagines a radio world, with information about an anonymous abandoned person (The Rumor of Anonymous).

The Probabilities of Friendship [4]

During Iroha's visit to the hospital, Ui questions Touka and Nemu about their constant bickering. Nemu, quoting French author André Maurois, expresses that their friendship allows them to be authentic and that she only feels complete with them, considering them her family. Touka finds humor in the idea of ​​"best friends as family" due to the statistical improbability of such a bond, citing a study that indicates the probability of finding even one best friend is only 0.00000004%. After being accused by Nemu of being insensitive in quantifying their friendship, Touka gets into an argument with her, much to Ui's annoyance.

The friendship of Touka and Nemu [3]

Nemu tells Iroha and Ui about her new story. Ui tells Iroha that Nemu's new tale was as amazing as the others, and Iroha agrees, noting that it filled her with warmth. Nemu smiles and says that seeing Iroha and Ui enjoy her story is "the ultimate joy." Touka asks if they really liked the story, as she didn't understand what made it so good. Iroha asks why she says this, to which the girl replies that "it was all just fantasy" and that it was "intense and unrealistic." Nemu warns Touka that if all stories were judged the way she does, great advancements throughout history would be missed. She also points out that people like her have enabled people like Touka to imagine things that didn't yet exist but could one day, and that they bring happiness to others.

Later, Nemu points out that even if it was just her personal opinion, rejecting something simply because it wasn't realistic contradicted what a scientist tasked with finding or proving something unknown would say. Touka reluctantly agrees with Nemu, but adds that it didn't make her story any better. Nemu suggests that if she read with an open mind, she could learn why imagination is valuable, but Touka counters that literature is only good for fantasizing and doesn't benefit humanity. Nemu retorts that scientists without imagination or passion, like Touka, are useless. This infuriates Touka, but Ui interrupts before she can say anything. Ui states that, while she struggles to understand what they're talking about, it's wonderful that two geniuses like them could meet, much to the delight of both Touka and Nemu. Ui describes how Nemu is a novelist with a wild imagination, while Touka is a scientist who can bring those imaginings to life, and through their shared understanding, the world is filled with imagination.

Giving Touka a lesson[1]

Iroha and Touka play video games, which Touka wins. Ui criticizes Iroha's skills, as she prefers board games like shogi. Touka gets a space-themed game from an acquaintance of her father's. Nemu comments that Touka's games are educational. The girls are to give an educational presentation about their interests. Nemu explains that they have to gather information about a hobby or interest, then give a presentation about it, and those who don't have a hobby can look up things online that might interest them. Ui asks what Iroha will present, and she replies that she will talk about cooking and baking, as these are the two subjects she knows best. Iroha asks her the same question, and Ui replies that she will research what people sing in school choirs, as she likes music, while Nemu will give her presentation about her favorite books: philosophical stories for children. Touka chooses to talk about quantum computers, disappointing Ui. Touka refuses to share her knowledge with the others.

Iroha visits Touka in the hospital and asks her to talk about space, but Touka refuses because of her illness. After a kind gesture from Iroha with a cake, Touka agrees to share her knowledge about outer space. They both enjoy the cake together, forming a bond of friendship and collaboration.

Touka arrives late to class, but she brings materials for Ui and Nemu. She wants to be the first to present and talks about constellations. She compares her older sister Iroha to a star and asks Ui to look up information to understand. She doesn't give any direct explanations.

The fights between Touka and Nemu [2]

Despite having become friends, Touka and Nemu often argued, leading Ui to intervene and calm them down. On one occasion, when Iroha came to visit, Nemu defeated Touka in a card game with an unusual move. This angered Touka because she had planned to memorize all of Nemu's cards and moves, but lost anyway, which Nemu mocked. Touka became angry with her and told Nemu she no longer wanted to be her friend, to which Nemu retorted that she didn't want them to be friends either. Ui then yelled at them, asking how many times they were going to "ruin their friendship" over such silly fights, while Touka and Nemu said to each other, "We're not friends anymore."

Giving Touka a lesson[1]

Iroha and Touka play video games, which Touka wins. Ui criticizes Iroha's skills, as she prefers board games like shogi. Touka gets a space-themed game from an acquaintance of her father's. Nemu comments that Touka's games are educational. The girls are to give an educational presentation about their interests.

Iroha visits Touka in the hospital and asks her to talk about space, but Touka refuses because of her illness. After a kind gesture from Iroha with a cake, Touka agrees to share her knowledge about outer space. They both enjoy the cake together, forming a bond of friendship and collaboration.

Touka arrives late to class, but she's brought materials for Ui and Nemu. She wants to be the first to present and talks about constellations. She compares her older sister Iroha to a star and asks Ui to find information to understand. She doesn't give direct explanations, preferring that Ui discover things for herself.

Iroha grew up alongside her younger sister, Ui Tamaki, in Takarazaki City. Iroha was only close to her younger sister, as she never really had any true friends to become close to. However, at one point, Ui fell ill, and Iroha had to take care of her since their parents were always away working. Iroha learned to cook for Ui, but eventually, Ui was admitted to Satomi Medical Center in Kamihama City, a neighboring city to Takarazaki. It was there that Iroha and Ui met Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, two other girls with the same illness as Ui, with whom Iroha ended up sharing a room in the hospital. Because of all the time Iroha spent at the hospital, the four girls became very close, and Iroha also became like an older sister to the other two girls, who began calling her Onee-sama/san ("older sister" in Japanese).

Iroha is a cheerful girl who also has her serious moments. She's very cautious about her surroundings, though she's sometimes clumsy with technology. On the other hand, she tends to be quite shy when meeting other girls, but she's happy to make friends, openly showing affection and concern for them. Her desire to understand others and her compassionate nature have led her to befriend several magical girls, including those who are more reserved or distrustful, such as Yachiyo Nanami and Sana Futaba.

She's a girl who stands out for her perseverance: she never gives up until she achieves what she wants. This quality helps her to be a brave person who doesn't easily lose hope, even in the most difficult moments.

A magical girl who arrived in Kamihama City to uncover the truth behind her mysterious dreams. She has a friendly personality and tends to worry too much. She's unfamiliar with the latest trends, especially when it comes to using smartphones. Although usually reserved, she shows her strong will in the most crucial moments.
