Tamako Kago (かご たま Kago Tamako), also nicknamed "Goalko Baske" (バスケ ゴール Basuke Gōruko), is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! anime. She is a Three-Meter Alien who spends her time avoiding work by disguising herself as a basketball hoop.

Design[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Full-body view of Tamako.

In her human form, Tamako appears as a three-meter tall pale-skinned woman with pink eyes and dark blue hair shoulder-length hair fading into sky blue. She wears a charcoal minidress patterned with a red tie over grey tights and black thigh-high heeled boots. She also wears a red headband with four blue feathers attached to it, and a yellow brooch with a blue visor resembling a reptilian helmet.

As with Mitsuko, Tamako can transform into a non-human form that resembles an ordinary object, in Tamako's case, she transforms into a basketball hoop.

Personality[edit]

Tamako is incredibly lazy, vowing to do whatever it takes to avoid work. This can come across as somewhat contradictory, as she was willing to accept a Tag Rush Duel alongside Mitsuko against Yuamu Ohdo and Epoch for Epoch's curry bread just to avoid having to pay for one elsewhere.[1]

Tamako is generally brash and prideful, confident in her ability to avoid effort.

Etymology[edit]

Tamako's nickname of "Goalko Baske" is derived from a basketball hoop, known in Japan as a "basketball goal".

Deck[edit]

Like Mitsuko, Tamako uses a Secret Investigator Deck focused on LIGHT Attribute Reptile Type monsters, though she includes a unique ace monster, "Secret Base Guardian Misshot", which leverages being Tribute Summoned using Mitsuko's own ace, "Elite Secret Investigator Mystery", to gain significant ATK and destroy the opponent's monsters.

Duels[edit]
