Story: Future Diary:

Tsubaki was born and raised within the walls of the Omekata Temple by her loving parents who founded the religion. Because of Tsubaki's poor sight, they kept her in the temple for her own safety. She became known as the Sacred Eye, the oracle and figurehead of the religion, her parents telling the followers Tsubaki possessed clairvoyant powers. Although worried that this lie would have an affect on their daughter, Tsubaki's parents kept up the act for many years. Tsubaki's mother gave her daughter a handball, which became Tsubaki's most treasured possession.

Eventually, around two years before the events of the Survival Game, Tsubaki's parents decided they would dismantle the religion and remove Tsubaki from the temple. However, Funatsu, the second-in-command of the religion, secretly attached a makeshift bomb to the underside of the car belonging to Tsubaki's parents. Obsessed with keeping up the act, Funatsu took Tsubaki's parents for a drive, only to abandon the car which exploded, killing Tsubaki's parents and leaving her as the figurehead and high priestess of the Omekata Religion, and Funatsu as her second.

Unfortunately, Funatsu altered the purpose of the religion. Instead of helping troubled people, Funatsu imprisoned Tsubaki in a confinement room along with the scroll which would become her Future Diary. He then declared the room would be use for people to cleanse themselves of their sins, using Tsubaki as a sponge. Tsubaki endured two nightmarish years as a sex slave, raped by countless men and possibly women, slowly going insane with only her handball as her one source of sanity. Eventually, Tsubaki's handball rolled out of the confinement room and disappeared, pushing Tsubaki over the edge, concluding everything on the "Outside World" beyond her sight and reach was evil, leading to her desire to become God when she joined the survival game.

The Cult of the Sixth:

Tsubaki is introduced in the manga and anime with the rest of the diary owners during Deus Ex Machina's first meeting of the survival game. Tsubaki specifically asks how the owners are meant to kill each other when they do not know what they look like. As the owners depart from the meeting with Yukiteru as their primary target, Tsubaki notes how she can see Yukiteru's fear.

On May 4th, Tsubaki's followers capture Minene Uryu after Yomotsu Hirasaka hypnotises several members of the religion to do his bidding. Yomotsu sneaks into the temple and keeps watch over Minene. Yukiteru,Yuno and Kurusu arrive at the temple the next day following a prediction on Kurusu's diary. Tsubaki acts normally, as if her time as a sex slave had never happened, remaining in her confinement room with her diary. Yukuteru, Yuno and Kurusu are led to her by Orin Miyashiro, actually there on behalf of Kamado Ueshita, the Eighth diary owner, along with one half of the Seventh diary owners Ai Mikami. Tsubaki quickly reveals she is a diary owner, claiming to have no interest in becoming God since she is already his messenger. She unrolls her scroll, revealing she has a Dead End flag which will occur later that night. Tsubaki makes a deal with Kurusu - to hand over Minene as long as Yukiteru remains as her guard until the time of her Dead End passes.

Yuno objects but Kurusu agrees to the proposal, Yukiterm remaining to be Tsubaki's guard for the night. Orin and Ai deliver some futons for Yukiteru and Tsubaki to use, Tsubaki informing Yukiteru her diary is not completely omnipotent, since it focuses on the views of her followers. She also informs Yukiteri that Yuno will be his undoing, causing Yukiteru's suspicions of Yuno to be intensified after he found the corpses in her house the night before. Yuno eavesdrops on Tsubaki through her diary, planning to kill Tsubaki at some point.

The futons suddenly ignite and burst into flames, trapping Tsubaki in her chamber. Kurusu runs off to turn on the sprinkler systems, whilst Funatsu rallies the followers to put out the flames. However, the hypnotised followers only make the fire worse with gasoline and another kills Funatsu. Yuki manages to enter Tsubaki's chamber using a fire axe just as Kurusu activates the sprinklers and puts out the fire. Tsubaki angrily berates the followers after they kill some of their own and banishes them from her chamber. Tsubaki thanks Yuki, suspecting Yomotsu's hypnosis powers were responsible for her followers' actions. However, she discovers her diary has been compromised, Yomotsu having hypnotised all of her followers to give false statements to her diary.

Yuki decides to remove Tsubaki from the Omekata Temple for her own safety, although Yuno objects, accusing Tsubaki of deceiving Yuki, to which Tsubaki objects. Yuno realises the dead followers are faking death and promptly goes about killing them. The three diary owners escape the room and race for the entrance, only for Yomotsu to release the followers so he can personally confront the trio himself. Yomotsu along with four other hypnotised followers dressed in similar outfits to his, appear before Yuki and warn him that Tsubaki has indeed been fooling him and reveals the true intentions of Omekata. Yomotsu tries to kill Tsubaki, only for Yuno to identify the real Twelfth and swiftly kills him.

Tsubaki reveals her true colours, her freed followers closing the entrance doors to the temple and capture Yuki and Yuno. Tsubaki explains she does plan to become God after all and gives Yuki a crude kiss to see Yuno's reaction. Concluding her Dead End should have gone, Tsubaki discovers it hasn't. The enraged Yuno attacks Tsubaki, chopping off her right hand and rendering her incapable of holding onto her Claivoyance Diary. As Tsubaki collapses in agony, Yuno gives Yuki her diary and forces him to flee before she collapses from exhaustion.

Tsubaki's arm is wrapped by Ai, Tsubaki angrily challenging Yuki's devotion to Yuno. Deciding to make Yuno suffer like she did, Tsubaki allows her followers to gang-rape Yuno as they did to her and calls Yuki through a microphone to rescue Yuno. Yuki charges in, protecting Yuno and fending off the followers. Surprised by Yuki's return, Tsubaki challenges him to kill her. Yuki pulls out a throwing dart, and declares his choice of Yuno over her, reflecting on an earlier choice Yuno had told Yuki to make: choose Yuno or Tsubaki - to live or die, respectively. Tsubaki becomes infuriated by his choice.

Yuki, having found Tsubaki's handball whilst hiding, tosses it into the air as a distraction. Tsubaki is in awe for a moment upon seeing the ball, but discovers that all of her followers are looking at the ball and not at Yuki as he throws the dart. Tsubaki goes to protect her diary, only to realise she has just one hand left and cannot pick up the scroll from the floor; the dart pierces her diary at that exact moment. The handball lands nearby, Tsubaki bursting into tears and asking why the ball returned to her just at that moment, concluding it arrived too late, and she is erased from existence.

The Final Battle:

When Yuno, Muru Muru, Yuki and Minene perform a time leap to the third world, Tsubaki is alerted to their battle at Sakurami Elementary School. As an aide enters with the news that Funatsu is taking her parents for a drive, Tsubaki tells them to wait, as it seems dangerous outside. The aide later discovers a bomb planted by Funatsu under the car, exposing him as a criminal. Funatsu is taken away by the followers, while Tsubaki declares that the religion will help those in need, and not used for giving in to sins. This changes Tsubaki's future, avoiding the original future of becoming parent-less and enduring years of sexual abuse.

In the final chapter of the manga, Tsubaki is shown walking out on the streets of Sakurami City with her parents. She appears to be eyeing Akise with interest, possibly hinting that some elements of Future Diary: Paradox had survived in the third world. In the anime, with the dissolution of the Omekata religion, Tsubaki is shown sleeping peacefully under the loving care of her parents.

Kingdom Hearts: Universe Shift:

After the cancellation of Futer Diary project, Tsubaki is seen dating Aru as she fell in love with him. She is now a wandering martial artist as she fights the strong opponents for the thrill of the fights. She isn't called the priestess of Omekata for nothing.

Lyrics for WANDERERS

Ayashii hodo kagayaita hikari, nabiku tsukikage ni
Mimi wo sumaseba kikoe kuru yajuu-tachi no tameiki
Shukumei no Chain karamitsuki mienai ori, torawareta
