Before her resurrection, Tae was a well-known figure in Saga, though the specifics of her “legendary” status remain ambiguous. Some theories suggest that she was a famous performer, a noblewoman, or even a historic figure in Saga’s past.

Additionally, Tae was formerly the leader of the Saga Sagako Busters, a group that fought against the Sagako Curses and Saga’s supernatural misfortunes. She was also known to work part-time at her father’s food stand, Karatsu Burgers, further linking her to Saga’s local traditions and culture.

However, unlike the other members of Franchouchou, Tae was the first successful case of human resurrection. Due to unknown reasons, she has yet to regain her human consciousness, leaving her in a perpetual, primal zombie state.

Tae Yamada has a disheveled and undead appearance, making her stand out among the other members of Franchouchou. She has long, unkempt dark green hair, with strands often covering her face. Her pale skin, dark rings under her eyes, and frequent blank expression emphasize her classic zombie look.

Tae often wears Franchouchou’s idol outfits, though she rarely behaves in a way that matches the elegance of an idol. Her clumsy and wild demeanor adds a humorous contrast to her stage presence, making her a fan favorite for comedic moments.

Tae is the most unpredictable member of Franchouchou, primarily because she functions more like a traditional zombie than a conscious idol. She mindlessly wanders, groans incoherently, and bites anything that gets too close to her, particularly Kotaro Tatsumi, much to his annoyance.

Despite her lack of verbal communication, Tae displays a strong bond with her fellow group members, often mimicking their actions and showing recognition through body language and expressions. She exhibits basic emotional responses, such as excitement for food, playful affection toward her friends, and enthusiastic participation in performances.

Tae’s love for food is one of her defining traits she has a voracious appetite and is often seen stuffing her face with food, particularly Karatsu Burgers and squids. This leads to many humorous situations, as her cravings sometimes interrupt important moments.

Despite her zombie-like behavior, Tae has a strong stage presence. Even though she doesn’t fully grasp what’s happening, she instinctively follows Franchouchou’s performances and contributes in her own unique way, often dancing wildly or making strange, yet oddly fitting, movements.

• Comedic Relief and Unpredictability
  Tae serves as one of the main sources of comedy in Zombie Land Saga. Her random outbursts, zombie mannerisms, and uncontrollable hunger often result in chaotic but hilarious moments. She provides spontaneity to Franchouchou’s performances, occasionally running off mid-performance or stealing food during live shows, much to the group’s surprise.

• Idol Activities Despite Being a Mindless Zombie
  Despite not fully regaining her human consciousness, Tae still participates in Franchouchou’s activities. She follows simple directions, joins dance routines, and adds her own unique flair to performances, making her a beloved part of the group. Fans find her unconventional presence charming, and she has amassed a cult following for her unpredictability.

• Hints of Hidden Intelligence
  Though she acts completely brainless, Tae occasionally shows signs of awareness. There are moments where she reacts emotionally, indicating that some part of her past self may still exist within her. Her legendary status remains shrouded in mystery, leading many to speculate that she may eventually regain her consciousness and reveal her full backstory.
