Mitsumata (ミツマタ, Mitsumata) is a character in Ousama Ranking and its anime adaption. Mitsumata is a giant, triple-headed snake that Bojji befriended as a small boy. Its life was saved by Queen Hiling, and it was later nursed back to full health by Bebin.

Appearance

Mitsumata is a giant, green, double-headed snake with a yellow belly, yellow eyes, and numerous scars. It is so large that it towers over most buildings.

It appears to have been born with three heads, but one head (the middle) was severed at some point. Most of its eyes are similarly destroyed, and it only has one remaining eye on the left side of it's left head (the other being completely blind).

Personality

When first introduced Mitsumata was the size of an average snake and exhibited typical snake behavior, defensively biting anyone who attempted to touch it. It bit Bojji several times, even after its life was saved by Hiling's healing magic.

At some point after its meeting with Bojji Mitsumata was attacked by guardsmen again, and this time saved by Bebin, who nursed the snake back to health. Bebin seems to be the one who taught Mitsumata to speak, and generally trained and civilized it so it could remain in the Bosse Kingdom.

Now a mature, enormous snake, Mitsumata is completely loyal to Bebin (who it considers its master) and is good friends with Bojji.

Abilities

Prophetic Dreams

Mitsumata appears to have prophetic dreams, and foresaw the turmoil currently embroiling the Bosse Kingdom. Bebin takes Mitsumata's dreams very seriously, and the two have been acting to save the kingdom for years.

Trivia

• Mitsumata's name likely derives from the Japanese word for "three-headed" (三つの頭, mitsu no atama).
