Takuma

Takuma is the fifth and the oldest character of Shadow Tactics. He is the only person that has a limited number of kills that he can get per mission. He also has limited mobility due to his leg injury which renders him unable to rappel, climb, swim, or even carry bodies. However, despite this, he can target and eliminate any enemy that has the biggest sight radius.
== Personality ==
Takuma is a wise old man with a cheerful personality. He's always seen sharing his knowledge among his peers, as well providing them with matchlock pistols to give them extra firepower. Despite his age, his marksmanship is second to none, and are his skills to craft explosives.
Over the course of the story, he shows great interest in Yuki's abilities after witnessing her little trap, offering himself to be her mentor. Slowly, he starts to become a protective fatherly figure to the young girl.
== Abilities ==
* Kuma: Takuma has a pet tanuki called Kuma, which essentially counts as the unofficial sixth member of the team. Takuma can send Kuma out to a particular spot (from which he can be repositioned as long as Takuma is within range) where he will wait. The player can activate him again and he will perform a loud cry that will draw any guards within its wide radius towards him, for a very long. This won't work against Straw Hats and Samurai, who will instead only briefly look towards Kuma. Players can essentially draw normal guards anywhere as long the reposition Kuma and reactivate his cry before enemies return back to their patrol routes.
* Rifle: Takuma's rifle has the longest range out of any ability in the game, and is best used from atop lookout towers or tall buildings. The rifle is capable of killing any opponent in the game with a single shot, including Samurai. Despite the limited numbers of ammo, the player can often find one or two ammo boxes at certain locations in most maps where Takuma can be selected, more notably in or near lookout towers. He also carries a spare bullet to fulfill map objectives where the player needs to hit a specific target in the mission.
* Matchlock Pistol: a small firearm with mid-long with a large noise radius around the user that instantly kill any kind of enemy, except for Samurai, who will damaged and fall on their knees for a few seconds, allowing executions. This pistol and Takuma's rifle are the only abilities capable of damaging enemies aside from Mugen's melee attack.
