Yomi Takanashi

Yomi Takanashi is one of the main characters from the Black★Rock Shooter series.
== Charactah Account ==
Yomi is a girl who catches Mato's eye due to her friendless background and her having been dropped off by a car on her first day. As fate would have it, she lives in the same neighborhood as Mato. She takes the train with Mato from then on, and also joins the volleyball team after watching Mato in the basketball team. Her parents are very rich.
Yomi is a gentle, good-natured girl who speaks politely and calmly; she is very mature for her age. Her name literally means "No hawks, where little birds play." She is supposedly a member of a well-to-do family, staying for some time in Germany before moving to Mato's neighborhood. She also revealed that her frequent moving from one place to another has caused her to develop a sort of distant attitude towards others. However, she is prone to having very dark feelings of loneliness and jealousy; she tends to keep these to herself. 
Yomi starts to drift away from Mato after she is separated from her class-wise in their second year, and her disappearance by possession/merging fuels the main plot. Her "other self" is the Dead Master.

== Trivia ==
* A potential kanji writing of Yomi means "underworld".
* Yomi's surname, "Takanashi", is written with the kanji for "little bird play". In the original Japanese version of the anime, Mato, not knowing how to read Yomi's written surname correctly, refers to her as "kotori-asobi", which literally means "little birds play". Yomi later explains to her that her last name is read as "Takanashi", which means "no hawks", and tells her that her surname stems from the saying that "When the hawks are away, little birds play".
* Yomi's character description on the official English language version of the website mentions that she used to live in Germany, but had returned to Japan, much like the OVA version of the character.
