Changes: Tamura

Revision as of 16:35, 17 November 2007

Yeoman Tamura was a member of the landing party that visited Eminiar VII in 2267. It appeared that she reported primarily to Spock, although she wore security red and not sciences blue, perhaps because landing party security and any scientific survey activity related to security were under Spock's leadership as First Officer. On one occasion, Spock asked her for a scientific survey to identify the nature of Vendikar's attack. Her confusing lack of confirmation for the attack was one clue that helped Spock realize the war between Eminiar and Vendikar existed only as a series of computer models. On another occasion, Spock left her in charge of Mea 3, with instructions to prevent Mea from reporting to a disintegration station, as citizens of Eminiar VII dutifully did when declared casualties. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon")

Although women handle phasers from time to time in the series (Uhura, Marlena Moreau, Marla McGivers), Tamura is the only one ever given a weapon for a security job, as Spock assigns her the duty of keeping Mea 3 from disintegrating herself.

Yeoman Tamura was played by Miko Mayama. The character's name was spelled "Tamula" in the credits, although the closed-captioned script spelled her name as Tamura (a typical Japanese family name).
