Profile
General:
Tam Tam is a tall
warrior of the Mayan country, hailing from "Green Hell" in South America.
He receives divine powers through the holy mask he wears, which influences
his fighting style. His weird movements like a crab are because he is partly
possessed by the mask. When he takes his mask off, he is a kind and
gentle guy who likes to play with kids. When the Palenke stone is
stolen, he wears the mask and heads to Japan to retrieve it. But because
he wasn't able to protect the stone, he was changed into a monkey. As a
monkey, he helped Cham Cham recover the two stones. He sets out to recover
the Palenke Stone which was stolen by Amakusa.
He is Cham Cham's brother.

Comment:
In the original Samurai
Shodown, Tam Tam appeared to just be one of those filler freak designs,
but he was reinvented in SS4 for the better. He developed some freakishly
hilarious taunts, and all of his classic moves looked much better. Not
to mention his cool and very oversized sword! He became a really cool design!
