Tamamo-no-Mae

Tamamo-no-Mae (玉藻の前) is the mother of Karen Matsumoto and a legendary Japanese fox spirit. She was once a courtesan and seduced Emperor Toba (鳥羽天皇, Toba-tennō, 24 February 1103 – 20 July 1156), draining his energy and almost causing his death. She was supposedly defeated by Abe of Yasuchika; however, in reality, she escaped and lived a quiet life away in the countryside. Sometime later, she began running a hot spring inn called Tama no Yu (玉の湯) and gave birth to Karen.
