Age and Date of Birth: Middle-aged; birth date unknown

Appearance: Professor Souichi Tomoe is moderate height for a Japanese adult male, neither tall nor short. He has an average build, neither thin nor heavyset. His skin tone is typical, if not somewhat on the paler side. This may simply be because the man rarely spends time anywhere other than his basement laboratory complex. His eyes are a slate blue-gray colour, although the right eye is obscured by the decorated lens of his glasses. He wears wire-framed round-lens glasses, and the opaque right lens displays the outline of an open eye with a pentagram at the center. His white hair is styled in a slightly long businessman-style cut.

He typically wears a long-sleeved powder blue dress shirt with slightly darker blue stripes, paired with a tie of the same darker blue colour. He wears darker blue slacks, a brown belt, and brown dress shoes. Over this is a white lab coat that reaches his knees. In the manga, he sometimes wears a white dress shirt, black tie, and the vest and pants of a dark three-piece suit under his lab coat. He sometimes wears a gray vest in Crystal.

When Professor Tomoe is hard at work, he frequently looks like less of a man and more of a creature. His form appears to be a black silhouette in a white lab coat. The round lenses of his glasses illuminate to form white glowing circles. His mouth is the only detail of his face that can be seen besides the glasses, and it is a wide red sideways crescent shape. It resembles the way children draw a mouth, not any actual human mouth. Sometimes his hands are shown with their actual flesh colour—sometimes they are also part of the black silhouette.

Germatoid:

Personality: Professor Tomoe is insane.

He may have once been a mild-mannered scientist, content to seclude himself in the lab and work on his research rather than interacting with others. He may have been a brilliant man—a forward-thinking mind that sought out answers to questions never yet asked. He may have been a loving, caring father who doted on his only daughter. He may have been a considerate husband who showed compassion and love to his wife.

Now, none of those descriptions are accurate. He is driven only by his desire to fulfill the great scheme of Master Pharaoh 90 and make the Earth and the Solar System a home world for those from the Tau system. His extreme intelligence is now warped and twisted, unable to feel concern that his cultivation of alien life forms is endangering humans. Now he wants to replace them, to take this world from them and alter it for new and different tenants.

Professor Tomoe is incredibly enthusiastic about his missions and tasks. He frequently expresses himself with booming laughter and excited exclamations. He is unnecessarily cheerful about almost all of the horrible things he is doing, demonstrating a clear disregard for morality and common decency. He doesn't seem terribly concerned about repercussions or consequences, acting on whims and easily improvising as he goes along. He often seems lacking in focus when others are being serious. On the flip side, he can sometimes speak gravely on issues that are completely nonsensical. This is only when he is in his element as an agent of evil—when forced to interact with others under the guise of the human man Souichi Tomoe, he is cold and aloof. It is only towards his daughter, Hotaru, that he shows any affection.

In most forms of Sailor Moon canon, Professor Tomoe primarily winds up down this path due to his love for his daughter, Hotaru. He accepts the devil's bargain with Master Pharaoh 90 as a means to save her. He sacrifices his own life and sanity to prevent her death, although ultimately he cannot save or protect her. His own subsequent madness is twisted by evil influences. His love for Hotaru regularly shines through, particularly in the 90s anime, where he tries to save her even as her body (possessed by Mistress 9) tries to kill him.

In Crystal, Professor Tomoe's own hubris leads to his destruction. He dreams of creating Super Life-Forms. The Professor believes that alien beings exist, despite being ostracized by the community for his wild beliefs and unethical experiments, and he longs to merge alien life-forms with humans to create superior beings. He is filled with resentment at being treated like anything less than the genius that he is. He wants revenge on everyone who turned up their nose at his work. Tomoe willingly accepts the power offered to him, wanting to use it to further his research. The longer he continues under the power of Master Pharaoh 90, the more his unhealthy egomania is fueled. It eventually leads to his undoing, when he challenges and is killed by Sailors Moon, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

Any Unique Abilities/Skills:
• Scientific Genius - This may seem somewhat muddied by his madness, but Professor Tomoe is extremely intelligent and creative. He asks questions and seeks answers that no one else has broached. He knows his way around a laboratory and understands proper research, even if he sometimes fails to follow appropriate methods.
• Unbound Insanity - The Professor's craziness allows him to bend several natural laws. He frequently contorts his body in ways that should be impossible. He appears to be able to access, store, and generate items in a way that ought not be possible. (Such as grabbing them out of thin air.) He sometimes disappears and reappears in ways and places that do not make sense. He has access to seemingly unlimited resources, allowing him to use equipment and materials, build secret underground laboratories, and more.
• Daimon Eggs - Professor Tomoe uses Daimon Eggs to turn humans or objects into Daimon. He cooks these up in the laboratory and frequently provides them to the Witches 5 or Kaolinite when dispatching his subordinates on missions.

History: Professor Souichi Tomoe is a scientist. In the manga, his research seemed to focus on cybernetics and genetics. In Crystal, he was involved in bio-engineering and astrophysics. A catastrophic lab accident claimed the life of his wife, Keiko, and nearly killed his young daughter, Hotaru. This accident coincided with the arrival of life forms from a distant place—the Tau system. These entities reached out to the Professor, promising to save his daughter's life if he pledged to serve them and their purpose.

Professor Tomoe agrees. He becomes an agent of Master Pharaoh 90, and plants the Daimon Egg that will mature into Mistress 9 into his daughter, Hotaru. His lab assistant, Kaori, becomes Kaolinite. His successful vesselization of power from Master Pharaoh 90 (in the form of Germatoid) makes him the leader of the Death Busters. In the 90s anime, the Death Busters collect Pure Heart Crystals, searching for the power of the Talismans to awaken Mistress 9. In the manga and in Crystal, they seek Hoste. Both are a form of human energy, following the grand tradition of Sailor Moon enemies. He created and cultivated Diamon Eggs to collect energy for Master Pharaoh 90.

He attempts to harness power that will allow Master Pharaoh 90 to make the Earth and the Solar System the second home world of the Death Busters. When the sailor soldiers arrive to stop this plan, Professor Tomoe turns into his final Daimon form, Germatoid. He is not successful in defeating them, and is instead himself defeated. In most of the sources, he dies. In the 90s anime, he is cleansed of the evil forces and reborn with no memory of his time with the Death Busters. He briefly is reunited with baby Hotaru until Michiru, Haruka, and Setsuna take the child to raise her.

Other Noteworthy Facts:
• In Crystal and some musicals, he created the Witches 5. It's possible that he may have created them in the 90s anime as well. (They appear to be students from the academy in the manga, but the potential is there that he created them and then they enrolled.)
• He's the best.
