Fashion style: Takashi typically isn't one to dress up, or rather, isn't one to necessarily spend too much time picking out his clothes. He follows a simple basis of if he likes it, he'll wear and doesn't put much further thought into the matter of either acquiring or equipping clothing, so his style is rather varied and spontaneous when out of uniform. Fortunately, most of what he puts on tends to suit him rather well.
Health condition: Pique physical condition. Built, but lean and not rippling or to a concerning degree.
Any prominent scars/burns on the character's being?: One scar on his hand from cutting himself while cooking (People tend to assume it's from an almost stabbing, and he doesn't dispel that belief)
Combat abilities (if any): Takashi is in most senses of the word a truck. While quick when it comes to full on sprinting or dashing, he isn't as much an agile fighter so much as more of acting as a brick wall that can take a hit and send one out before they've realized just how badly they fucked up. In terms of professional fighting, Takashi is not familiar with any kind and enters combat with a purely street style way of fighting.
- History/Background
Takashi was born to an already disheveled and faltering family dynamic. With his father, Kenzo, a construction worker and slight alcoholic, splitting from the family and disappearing, it fell upon his mother, Kaede, to take care of not only him but but his elder brother as well. Unfortunately, while he received the necessary care during his earlier years, it wasn't long before their mother was forced to trade time at home for time to work in order to support the family, and with the two brothers' relationship, or lackthereof, and the boy's ignorance to the situation, Takashi quickly occupied himself in his school, social life and screwing around.
Unfortunately, this lax period of fun activities didn't last for long. Soon enough, Kaede fell into the statistic of people in Japan that work themselves to deprivation. Still young at the time, Takashi could not yet understand the full gravity of the current events. He didn't know why his mother was transported to the hospital. He didn't even comprehend a quarter of what the doctors said was wrong with her, though he could tell all of it was bad. He couldn't understand why she wasn't coming back with them, nor why his elder brother now assumed the role of their mother, constantly out and about and returning with beatings, bruises and fatigued. No matter his questions, he was never answered.
As time went on, Satoru began returning more exhausted than beaten, though their relationship never really improved. Though there were some moments in which the two would sit down and have dinner together, albeit they only shared the meal physically; it remained devoid of any verbal interaction between the two, further building the gap between the two.
After that, Takashi's brother left, off doing who knows what. Apparently he had somehow gotten a scholarship to Kyoto University, though there was no way he acquired it going off his grades. Still, the younger sibling never pushed much; it wasn't as if he'd get anything more from the eldest anyway. Regardless, Takashi knew he was still kicking out there wherever he was as he'd receive some money for living expenses every so often.
While Takashi never really liked his brother, as he grew older he acquired a respect and gratitude for Satoru; providing the means for which two young boys could live off of was no meager task. As such, the younger of the two was determined not to waste his his aniki's expenses acting as some common delinquent. He would often go visit their mother, work some odd jobs when he could and, while the boy would often engage in physical confrontations, more often than not it would be coming to the defense of someone disadvantaged. He as well at the very least keeps his grades up and tries to negotiate. He simply, like his brother, believes that some people require logic physically beaten into them.
*Insert how he entered the gang here*
- Personality/Daily Life
Positives: Takashi is a genuinely decent person that will often lend a hand if asked or even if he simply sees that someone may need it. Often looking out for the well-being of others more so than himself, he partly feels guilty for not having been able to do more to help his family's situation. While scary-looking initially and quick to use violence, he surprisingly isn't that grudge-bearing and at least tries to understand those around him rather than dismiss the happenings or situations of others, which is likely why he still at least respects his elder sibling rather than hold complete aversion towards him. He tends to be the "mature one" of those he hangs around with, doing his best to keep his friends out of too much trouble or from doing something that they will come to regret later on in life. Still, he remains steadfast and strong-willed in what he believes and when it comes to the safety of his allies, and as well the absolute last person to drop to a knee.
Negatives: A poor trait he shares with his elder brother is his swiftness when it comes to overcoming an issue with violence. Needless to say, while he doesn't go mugging teachers in order to pass a test, he will typically warn a bully, gangster or other neerdowell to halt their poor choice in activities before countering their questionings and threatening behavior with an unbudging fist to their jaw.
As well akin to his brother is his lack of emotional evidence, albeit not to the same extent. Most of the time Takashi will carry a bored expression or a scowl which, placed on an orange-haired freak of height built to take a few hits, is rather scary. This is a big issue of how the many rumors of his "atrocities" and "cruelties" came to be; misunderstandings due to his intimidating demeanor and seemingly uncaring attitude.
As well a quirk given by part of his role in the gang, Takashi is dubbed as the gang "mom" due to the fact of him being a worry-wort and nag when it comes to the others. More often than not will he be one to lecture the others or give reason for why they should not do something rather than think up some hair-brained scheme to pull off.
Hobbies: Takashi has worked a few odd jobs around here and there. Currently, he ironically works at a butler cafe part-time. Apparently, while scary under normal circumstances, his scowl and less than common hair acquires a certain charm when he's snagged into a suit.
