ãWhen did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
We all suffer,
But we recover,
xxJust to discover life where we all are.ã

Though he may seem quite unapproachable, as getting a genuine smile from him is quite the impossible task, it must be admitted that Takeshita has a sort of charm about him. One would be lying to say that he's ugly. However, were you to prefer an elegantly dressed gentlemen, he most likely wouldn't appeal to you as his appearance seems to be in a constant state of disarray. His clothes are never tucked in and his hair is almost always a bit of a mess. He hardly seems to care about keeping up appearances, or... anything really, a personality trait he wears as often as he does his trusty headphones.
His figure is rather desirable, both somewhat tall and muscular. He may be a bit on the lanky side, sure, but a good metabolism and a lot of swimming have allowed him to be at least a little toned. Oddly enough, even though he lives on an island and is in the ocean often, he's quite pale. Tanning is practically impossible for him.

L I K E S
â Coffee || He practically lives on coffee, and at this point needs it to function properly. Not only that, but he adores the smell of it as well, and thus he frequently finds himself doing homework in Yokokawa's local coffee shop.
â Music || To his shame and embarrassment, he really enjoys upbeat pop music. Whenever he has his headphones on, you can bet that's what he's listening to. It's for this reason he'll never let anyone listen to his music.
â Drawing || He's the kind of kid who'll absentmindedly doodle all over anything and everything he might have in his hands. He's drawn on his own arms before without realizing it. To be honest, he's actually a good artist, even if he'd never really want to make anything of his talent.
â Cats || He has a soft spot for the small creatures, and he even has one of his own. His dad named her Puff, which Takeshita thinks is an stupid name, but she got used to it before he could change it.[
â Vanilla || Takeshita loves the smell of vanilla, and has a bunch of vanilla scented candles in his bedroom.
D I S L I K E S
â Crowds || He tends to avoid them if he can. Being a bit claustrophobic, he's never really appreciated being squished in the midst of a horde of people. The loudness that comes with a large group of people is bothersome to him as well.
â Excessive Sunlight || He gets sunburnt so easily, which really stinks when you live on an island that almost always sunny. Whenever he heads to the beach, he has to wear mass amounts of sunscreen lest he look like some sort of lobster. However, even with half a bottle sprayed on himself, he can never completely avoid being roasted alive.
â Flirtatious People || Despite trying to seem cool 24/7, he'll become a flustered, blushing mess if you attempt to flirt with him even a little bit.
â Seafood || He's never really liked fish in the first place, as he's always thought they were freaky looking. He has no desire to eat them either, thinking they taste as gross as they look. Which is funny, as one of Yokokawa's main attraction is how perfect a place it is to fish.

Q U I R K S
â Nut Allergy || If he eats anything with a peanut or tree nuts in it, his lungs will swell up like a balloon and he'll lose the ability to breathe. Because of this, he always carries around an epipen.
â Bad Liar || It's easy to tell when he's not being completely honest. He'll stutter with his words, often blush, and avoid eye contact. You shouldn't trust him to keep a secret, not because he isn't trustworthy, but because his poker face is unreliable.
â Ticklish || Extremely so, especially around the armpits and ribs, but he wouldn't hesitate to slaughter anyone who attempted to tickle him.
â Lazy || He lacks the motivation to do pretty much anything. If he ever puts forth effort into doing something, he's either extremely passionate about whatever it is, or his dad's forcing him to actually try.
F E A R S
â Blood || The mere sight of blood makes him feel inexplicably sick. Even something small, like a scraped knee, will make him feel a bit woozy, whether or not the injury was sustained by him or not. He's never actually passed out from seeing blood, but he did throw up in a neighbor's yard once in the aftermath of wrecking his bike. He prefers not to speak of that.
â Lightning || It doesn't storm a lot on Yokokawa, so maybe it's the unfamiliarity that drives him nuts. But lightning (and thunder, if he's honest) make him rather uneasy. During a storm, you'll almost always find him blaring music in his headphones and trying to get absorbed in a good book in hopes that it might distract him.
â Small Spaces || This one isn't so bad, but he can get a little bit claustrophobic if he has to spend a long period of time in a tight, enclosed space. He finds the difficulty to breathe completely and utterly horrible, and will get a bit shaky if he doesn't see an immediate escape.
â Losing People || After the ordeal with his mother skipping town, Takeshita is often worried that he will lose those he holds dear to him. He is, thus, extremely protective of those he does like.

Those who know Takeshita understand that he's not the friendliest. Seemingly disinterested in everything he does, one could go as far as to say that he even comes across as cold, or occasionally a bit rude. And none of that would be a lie, as he's shown that he's not hesitant to let a snarky comment slide, or bitterly refer to someone as having been stupid or an idiot. He doesn't mean any true harm by it, but he can come across as a jerk nonetheless. However, despite appearances, he's not that bad of a guy. He's a lot kinder and gentler than he lets on, though the recipients of this outward kindness are few and far between. He often disregards things such as friends as unnecessary, as he finds that making them requires too much effort on his part. And so, he tends to put on a cool, calm, and quiet exterior. One that can be broken by just one comment that might embarrass him. For, he gets flustered quite easily, and even something small could turn ruin his unapproachable wall and leave him a bumbling, blushing mess.
Although he may not like being around people, if you do happen to be the exception, you'll find he has a weird way of showing his affection. His insults don't stop, and in fact they could get more frequent, but you'll find him growing extremely protective of you. He seems to think that life will not hesitate to take those he cares for away from him in some way or another, as it did his mom. And thus, he feels the instinctual need to make sure nothing happens to them. Though, he tends to do this in a bitter, passive aggressive way as well, which makes one think that being bitter and passive aggressive is all he knows. If you somehow manage to get to know him, you'll find that he's a good kid, just very bad at showing it. Stubborn and snarky, maybe, but gentle and kind somewhere deep down.

H I S T O R Y
Takeshita was born in the United States, more specifically in his mother's hometown. He was the first child of Rei and Alana Toshikuni, who had only been married a few months before he'd made an arrival. And, shortly after his birth, they moved to Yokokawa hoping to settle down. Well, his father had hopes of settling down, maybe starting a larger family there. However, that idea wasn't thrilling for his mother. Their marriage became rocky, and when Takeshita was only three years old, his mom ran away with a tourist she'd fallen for without so much as a goodbye to her son. Take grew up with a feeling of disdain toward his absent mother, and a deep respect for his father who did his best in the transition to single parent. And, because of his father's commitment, he had a pretty happy childhood from that point on. He found his first few years of school to be rather rough, as he didn't always get along with the other kids. He acted like a bit of an insufferable know it all, insulting the intellectual abilities of the other children. His father had to sit him down and explain why that was bad, but his attitude never really changed as he grew up. He didn't get involved with sports, as he was not only ridiculously unathletic, but he didn't work well on a team. He got involved with art instead, deciding it wasn't half bad, especially since he was pretty good at it. It was the only class in which he actually put forth any sort of dedication, staying up late on pure adrenaline (and loads of coffee) to finish projects. He'd gotten so in the habit of staying inside, to read and draw, that his father began to force him out. "Go take a walk!" he'd said, and so Takeshita had, stumbling upon a store he'd never seen before and returning home with a cheap lava lamp.
