==Overview==
Takamaru is a surprising fast character with great agility: both his ground and air speed are among the best. Takamaru is a quite defensive character too: in fact is standard special, Katana Deflect, acts like a reflector and inflicts also a little damage in melees. Takamaru however, has serious troubles in KOing opponents because his attacks are strong enough but have very low knockback.

==Special moves==
*Standard: Katana Deflect. Takamaru's main move. It acts like a reflector with 1.2x damage and 2.0x speed added to the deflected projectile. This move also inflicts 3% of damage in its melee hitbox and a good, set knockback. This move can KO if used near the blast lines. Customization: Katana Absorb/Katana Attack.
*Side: Windmill Swords. Takamaru throws a knife in front of him. This move inflicts 3% of damage but it's fast and, if used in the air, throws a knife in front of him, backwards, upwards and downwards. Customization: Paralyzing Sword/Heavy Swords.
*Up: Cloak. Takamaru teleports himself into a cape. This move has quite bad range but it's very fast. Customization: Horizontal Cloak/Cloak and Dagger.
*Down: Invisibility Technique. Takamaru turns invisible for up to 5 seconds. The player must be smart because Takamaru is invisible for him too. Takamaru can't be seen but he inflicts 0.7x damage and, if hit, loses his power for 13 seconds and suffers 1.8x damage. Customization: Explosive Technique/Safe Invisibility.
*Final Smash: Inazuma Lighting. Takamaru shouts "INAZUMA LIGHTING!" and calls a great thunder in front of him. This move has a great vertical range but awful horizontal one (it hits only in front of Takamaru). However, this move inflicts 72% of damage and is always an OHKO.
