Thanks for the Mammary: Intentional or not, Takashi grabs Saeko brutally by the breast in the park, probably to keep her from contemplating Suicide By Zombie again.Stripperiffic: In the OVA, he wears a very-tight fitting pair of speedos that tend to slightly show off his cheeks, along with a pair of boots.The kicker is that while he may be the most centred of the group, heвЂ™s not completely stable either and he knows it. Takashi himself worries that heвЂ™s got no real outstanding skills compared to the rest of the (useful) members of the team, yet given the flaky cohesion and variable sanity of the group, his ability to keep everyone on a leash is quite invaluable. He's able to relate to Saeko's Ax Crazy impulses because of this.

Earlier on he notes to himself that he may have crossed the Moral Event Horizon when he killed Hisashi without being too bothered about it. He acknowledges that a part of him actually likes the lawlessness brought about by the Zombie Apocalypse when he enjoys smashing a cash register at a gas station. Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Saeko's blue.He and Rei then leave the nutjob to die, having made enough noise to attract the zombies. The Plan: Does one against the gas station nutjob by throwing his bat onto the ground and shooting him.Ordinary High School Student: At least until 'they' showed up.He does constantly worry that his grip may end up slipping, and worse, knows very well that any freakout would have a domino effect on the team and get everyone killed. Only Sane Man: While everyone is at least moderately sane, TakashiвЂ™s main advantage is that heвЂ™s fully conscious of his grip on the Sanity Ball and can keep the others in line.He also realizes that most of the team plays this role to one another. Morality Chain: Or rather Sanity Chain, especially to Saeko.He also notes to himself that he may have killed Hisashi (and not regretted killing him) partly out of jealousy over Rei. He's the only one who thinks he's crossed the line at that point in fact, he's still redeemable by the rest of his team's standards. Moral Event Horizon: Invoked when he used a live human as zombie bait as punishment for threatening to rape Rei and kill him.Missing Mom: Hasn't seen his mother since the outbreak not that he isn't extremely worried about her.Love Triangle: Is one awkward situation from being literally fought over by Saeko and Rei.Not so good with actually thinking through the consequences of his actions. The Hero: He is, after all, the main character.Failed Attempt At Drama: When Takashi announces intent to leave for Shintoko Third Elementary, the rest of the gang appropriately react except for Zeke/Zero who responds by peeing on Takashi's leg.Determinator: When rescuing Alice/Arisu, as well as in basically everything else he does.Seems to finally be breaking out of it after the clinic raid goes horribly wrong. Childhood Marriage Promise: Pinky Swears with Rei.Caught the Heart on His Sleeve: Rei does this to Takashi before a 'Shut Up' Kiss of sorts.Later chapters shift his weapon of choice to a riot-suppression shotgun. Batter Up: A baseball bat is the first weapon he gets his hands on.Takashi quickly takes a leadership role with the group, through his decisive nature and desire to protect others. Things only get more complicated between the two as 'they' spread, and Hisashi became one of 'them', forcing him to Mercy Kill his best friend. While he and Rei promised to marry each other, it's been several years, and with his apparent growing disinterest in her, she is now involved with his best friend, Hisashi. 12.1 Voiced by: Joji Nakata (Soichirou) and Yoshiko Sakakibara (Yuriko) (JP), Andrew Love (Soichirou) and Shelley Calene-Black (Yuriko) (EN)ДЄ seventeen-year-old boy who is among the first to notice that things at the school have gone very very wrong.10.1 Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano (JP), David Matranga (EN).9.1 Voiced by: Junko Takeuchi (JP), Melissa Davis (EN).8.1 Voiced by: Kissho Taniyama (JP), Illich Guardiola (EN).7.1 Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu (JP), Brittney Karbowski (EN).6.1 Voiced by: Yukari Fukui (JP), Monica Rial (EN).5.1 Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (JP), Mark X.4.1 Voiced by: Eri Kitamura (JP), Maggie Flecknoe (EN).3.1 Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro (JP), Taylor Hannah (EN).2.1 Voiced by: Marina Inoue (JP), Jessica Boone (EN).1.1 Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe (JP), Leraldo Anzaldua (EN).
