Biography[]

Tanpopo at Birth[]

Tanpopo was hatched from an egg Yūko gave Watanuki as payment for retrieving water from a well while he was recovering from a near fatal injury. That egg was also the same egg that Sakura got from their visit to Kamui's world in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. According to Yūko, the bird was born for the sake of Himawari, and after Watanuki gave it to her, they are always seen together. Watanuki, at Himawari's request, gives the bird its name: Tanpopo (タンポポ, lit. dandelion). Tanpopo is unaffected by Himawari's unlucky jinx and thus can keep her in good company.

Trivia[]

  • It's unknown if people never notice Tanpopo's presence in a restaurant, a store, or even at school due to its constant presence on Himawari's shoulder.
  • Tanpopo usually copies Watanuki's rare movements and laughs with Himawari.
  • Tanpopo has shown to have its own personality, which can be defined as a childish.
