==Summary==
Captain Takeo Masaki (Japanese: 正木 武雄 Masaki Takeo) was a Japanese soldier who fought in the Imperial Japanese Army, and is a playable main character in Zombies. In the Ultimis timeline, Takeo Masaki was dispatched by the Emperor to oversee the work of Group 935 and Division 9 at the Rising Sun facility. He was betrayed by the Emperor, who gave orders to take Takeo prisoner and authorized experimentation on. On July 15th, 1945, Dr. Edward Richtofen traveled to the Siberian Facility to do further research on "live specimens". Group 935 begins transferring three test subjects for experimentation: Nikolai, Pablo, and Takeo. Alongside fellow test subjects, an American soldier named "Tank" Dempsey, who had replaced the Mexican spy who was accidentatally killed named Pablo Marinus, and a Soviet soldier named Nikolai Belinski, each are exposed to serums and Element 115, causing memory loss, and in Takeo's case, loss of interaction. Takeo along with the other test subjects are reawakened by Richtofen. With no memory of who they are or who Richtofen is, Dempsey, along with Nikolai and Takeo, agree to help him. He unwittingly helps Richtofen complete his grand scheme of replacing Samantha Maxis as the Demonic Announcer in Moon.
In the Origins timeline, he is a part of PRIMIS, an ancient hero who fought in the Great War against the Apothicons, creatures who destroys every dimension and timelines, after the Great War, he wants to save every dimension and timelines from the Apothicons and make a safe world of the Children. In Black Ops 4, Takeo and the others manage to break the cycle once and for all under the leadership of Nikolai.

Intelligence: Above Average as Ultimis Takeo. Takeo is noticeably more intelligent than either Ultimis Dempsey or Nikolai, however it is implied that experimentation from Group 935 may have affected his logical thinking. He was someone who was very reserved, and would not talk unless absolutely necessary and was highly vigilant at all times. Takeo is also an exceptional soldier with years of experience on the battlefield.
Gifted as Primis Takeo. He is capable of building complex contraptions just by looking at the blueprints such as the shield, a functional gas mask, the Ragnarok DG-4, the KT-4, and can follow complex instructions from the likes of Dr. Gersch and S.O.P.H.I.A. Primis Takeo is also a highly skilled soldier with years of experience on the battlefield.
Weaknesses: Fanatically loyal to the Emperor as Ultimis Takeo. None as Primis Takeo.

*Merciless Dash: Takeo is able to dash in any direction at blinding speeds, striking all in Takeo's path.
*Shadow of Death: Upon activation, the user is completely invisible to all enemies, even to those with enhanced senses such as Hellhounds or the Warden of Alcatraz.
*Blood Vials: The Vials contain the blood from the Mob of the Dead crew, which grants Takeo protection from temporal paradoxes and Reality Warping powers.
*Pack-A-Punched Abilities: Not exactly an ability, but a variety of miscellaneous ones stemming from pack a punch, these include:
**Blast Furnace: Makes the enemy burst into flames and can spread to other enemies.
**Fireworks: Turns bullets into a firework projectile which summons a copy of the gun that shoots indiscriminately.
**Turned: Mind controls the target, turning mindless enemies into allies.
**Dead Wire: Much like the Wunderwaffle, it causes a chain of electricity which spreads throughout the enemies.
**Thunder Wall: Releases a powerful blast of air not unlike the Thundergun.
