Takashi Natsume

Takashi Natsume, also known as Human Child and Boy, is the titular main protagonist from the Natsume's Book of Friends series.
== Charactah Account ==
Along with his self-proclaimed bodyguard, Nyanko-Sensei. Like Reiko Natsume, his late grandmother, Takashi has strong spiritual power which allows him to see Youkai. After inheriting the Book of Friends from his late grandmother, Natsume made it his mission to return all the names within the book back to their original owner.
Unlike his grandmother, Reiko Natsume, Takashi is kind towards both humans and youkai, to the point that he is easily fooled by them as mentioned by Tsubame. Prior to the beginning of the series, he was originally reserved and soft-spoken because of his troubled past and used to greatly dislike having the ability to see youkai because of the trouble it's given him. Because of his reservedness he's had trouble interacting with other humans.
Thanks to the kindness of the Fujiwaras, Kitamoto Atsushi, Nishimura Satoru, and his friendship with Madara, Takashi slowly opens up to both humans and youkai. He does, however, occasionally suffer slight trauma from his past, often in a dream or when he sees humans (usually exorcists) acting despicable. One of his wish as a child was to grow up and live independently, away from everyone else.

== Trivia ==
* Takashi's surname contains the Kanji for "summer" and "eye", and his given name contains the kanji for "precious" and "plan/hopes".
* Takashi seems to be the only human (besides Reiko Natsume), to be able to read the names in Book of Friends. (However, both Natori and Matoba have not tried to read and the guide book states that anyone with spiritual power could read it).
* In the manga, Takashi has silver hair and green eyes. In the anime, however, his eyes were changed to golden brown. In the anime he is less irritable than in the manga; he is more relaxed.
* Takashi appears to have some sewing skills, as shown when he sewed clothes for the baby chick Tatsumi. However, later on during the school festival, Takashi was tasked with being the cashier for the class bazaar and he seemed to have some difficulty sewing up the pink ribbon onto his apron.
* Takashi has a complex of being weak and having a feminine face, so he consciously tries to act masculine and use tough language.
* Although Takashi always sleeps in class and he is frequently absent, he is quite popular with the girls at school.
* Takashi is bad with children (due to his own troubled childhood).
* Takashi is only the human member of The Dog's Circle.
* Takashi dislikes parsley.
* As stated in the manga, Takashi likes street punk clothes despite normally wearing his school uniform of collared shirts in the Summer.
