==Profile==
===Shin Megami Tensei===
Takeminakata is a minor boss and minion of Ozawa.
===Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne===
Originally named Minakata, in Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster he appears with his full name, Take-Minakata.
===Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE===
Take-Minakata can be encountered within Ichigaya's Kagurazaka Zhu Que gold-level instance.
===Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey===
Takeminakata begins appearing once the protagonist gains the Enemy Search A app, which allows them to detect hidden enemies. Takeminakata can be found throughout Sector Antlia and Sector Bootes and at that point in the game can be a tangible threat, both for his level and heavy Physical attacks. He will generally target the protagonist and if faced during a New Moon, will continually use Zan-Ei for boosted damage.
===Shin Megami Tensei V===
Take-Minakata is a member of the Kunitsu race and can be obtained through fusion in the World of Shadows.
===Soul Hackers 2===
Take-Minakata is the first representative of the Kishin Race and first appears as a mini-boss in the Arrow Sector of the Soul Matrix. He wields skills such as Defense Kuzushi, Zio, Mazio and Tarukaja. Once his HP is depleted to half, he'll automatically summon two Chironnups for support. Defeating Take-Minakata alone will end the fight, regardless of whether the Chironnups are alive or not. They will not be resummoned if they are defeated first.
After its defeat, Take-Minakata can be obtained via a special fusion of Koropokkuru, Hare of Inaba and Onmoraki.
===Persona 5===
Take-Minakata is the fourth Persona of the Hanged Man Arcana and can be found as a Shadow in Kaneshiro's Palace and in the Kaitul area of Mementos, with the title "Defeated Avenger." He is the first Persona to learn the Elec Break skill and the second of four Personas to learn Elec Boost. When itemized through Electric Chair execution in the Velvet Room, Take-Minakata will yield the Thunder Band accessory, which prevents the wearer from being inflicted with the Shock effect.
As a Shadow, he will attack using Mazionga and will target anyone who becomes Shocked with Assault Dive relentlessly.
The Shadow of Shinpei Honjo takes the form of Take-Minakata when fought in Mementos during the "Fighting for Truth in Journalism" request. Shadow Honjo can be found in the 9th path of Kaitul. During the battle, Shadow Honjo will use Megidola to inflict Almighty damage on the party, but he must recover SP between uses with his Invigorate 3 skill. He may also sometimes attempt to use Megidola with insufficient SP, granting the party another turn to act before being attacked. He will also use Flash Bomb to physically attack the entire party. When defeated, he will drop the Invigorate 3 Skill Card.
====Royal====
Take-Minakata appears as a Savage Shadow, meaning he cannot be negotiated with until he has been reduced to 25% of his max health. When itemized through Electric Chair execution, Take-Minakata will yield a Zionga Skill Card. During a fusion alarm, Take-Minakata will yield a Mazionga Skill Card.
