Takanuva

Takanuva, originally known as Takua is one of the main protagonists of the BIONICLE franchise. 
He was once an Av-Matoran who became disguised as a Ta-Matoran. Later, he was chosen to search for the seventh Toa, which ended with him becoming the Toa of Light and later became the member of the Toa Mata. 
When Takanuva was attacked by Mutran who infected him with the Shadow Leeches, he briefly became the Toa of Twilight as he controlled both the powers of light and shadow. However, he then reverted back to his original form after he was cured by the Klakk. 
He was voiced, in both of his forms, by Jason Michas who also voiced as Matoro in the animated show.
==History==
Takua was one of the Av-Matoran who was created by the Great Spirit along with the other Av-Matoran. He and the others then began the construction of the Matoran Universe. During his time, he also became a good friend with the another Av-Matoran named Solek.
Later, he and the rest of the Av-Matoran began to colonize Karda Nui after they have finished building the universe. However after the few weeks later, he was relocated to Metru Nui by the Order of Mata Nui during the Time Slip as he was disguised as the Ta-Matoran. 
When the Great Cataclysm occured, Takua along with the rest of the Matoran of Metru Nui were placed in a deep sleep by Makuts Teridax. The Toa Metru later rescued all the Matoran and brought them to the newly discovered island of Mata Nui, although all the Matoran's memories of their past were wiped. Takua then became a resident of Ta-Koro and the Chronicler of the Matoran. 
Takua and his friend Jaller later discovered the Mask of Light, which sent them on a long quest across the island to fulfill the prophecy of the Seventh Toa. They were hunted by Teridax's Rahkshi, which eventually led to Jaller's death. Takua came to the realization afterward that he was the Seventh Toa the entire time, causing him to wear the Mask of Light to transform him into the Toa of Light. 
Takua, now named Takanuva as the Toa of Light, helped the Toa Mata defeat the Rahkshi before journeying alone underground to face Teridax. Teridax challenged Takanuva to a game of the Matoran sport of Kolhii, which Takanuva won. Takanuva tried to rip Teridax's Mask of Shadows off of his face, causing the two to fall into a pool of energized protodermis and emerge as a single being, Takutanuva. This being of light and darkness opened the way to Metru Nui and brought Jaller back to life before being crushed by the gateway to Teridax's lair. However, Takanuva was restored back to life by his mask and continued protecting the Matoran as they journeyed to Metru Nui.

==Trivia==
*Due to his name, Takanuva is sometimes thought to be on the same power level as that of a Toa Nuva, or a part of the other Toa teams; while he is nearly stronger than a normal Toa, he is considered an honorary member of the Toa Mata.
*Unlike Tahu, Gali, Lewa, Pohatu, Onua and Kopaka, Takanuva never appeared in the second generation and rebooted version of Bionicle 2015-2016, because he is qualified as a non-elemental character, his role was replaced by Ekimu in his Toa form.
