Isami Tahara is an NPC in Maou-sama, Retry!, created by Akira Oono alongside characters like Kunai and Hakuto. Kunai himself calls him a genius—and for good reason. At his core, Tahara's a seasoned soldier with serious leadership chops and experience commanding people. He's got an arsenal of weapons at his disposal, making him genuinely dangerous in a fight.
What makes him stand out personality-wise is that constant smirk and laid-back demeanor that masks something harder underneath. He's got this talent for needling people and throwing them off, and his poker face makes him genuinely difficult to read. Good at heart, sure, but ruthless the second you become an actual threat.
There's a practical side to his character too—he joined some kind of committee and does questionable work specifically to support his much younger sister. It's a solid motivation, though his feelings about her have. escalated. He's got a severe sister complex, the kind where he literally divides all women into two categories: his sister Manami and everyone else. Fans often note he's pretty much beyond help on that front.
For Kunai, though, Tahara's presence is invaluable. Having him around means genuine peace of mind—the security aspect is locked down.
