===Devil Children White Book===
Takaharu was given the powers of an angel when he was a baby by Paku in order to fulfill Raguel's agenda. Growing up with his childhood friend Masaki Kuzuha, he tends to obey the orders of adults, the rules and Law aligned creatures even when he doesn't wish to because of his angel nature. He eventually becomes the partner of Rei who promises to give him his aid to cure his sister, but despite what he and others say, does not believe Masaki cursed her. Along with Masaki and their demon partners they go to Makai to find one. The angels and their agents attempt to manipulate him into fulfilling their goals by making him distrust Masaki while giving their aid to him.
After obtaining the cure from King Frost, he gives it to Masaki so he can cure his sister and prove to everyone else he is innocent. He starts to become distrustful of the angels when they invade Makai and try to kill both the good and bad demons. However, after meeting Raguel he completely becomes Raguel's pawn and follows his every wish including attempting to kill Masaki. After being defeated by Masaki and then revealing that Raguel saw him as a disposable pawn who only existed to fulfill the angels' ambition of ruling all creation, he attempts to aid Masaki against the evil god Jashin.
Whether he helps or not depends on Masaki's choice, which can have him face Jashin alone, give zero aid or fuse with Hoshigami to strengthen her. After Jashin's defeat he is released from Hoshigami's body and returns back to the earth alongside Masaki. He becomes strong-willed enough to defy his father and disobey the rules. In the playable epilogue he can switch demon partners with Masaki.
