Yamato Takeru (Maken-Ki)

==Summary==
Yamato Takeru is the primary antagonist of Maken-Ki who has been planning to become immortal by cutting himself with Habakiri, a sword with the power to turn those it cuts into gods. He is the son of Japanese emperor Keiko and was originally known as Crown Prince Kousu, giving himself the name of Yamato Takeru after he started killing various gods and other powerful families to attain Habakiri. However, his plans were thwarted when his nephew Yabiko cut himself with the sword and sealed it inside of Amanohara defeating Yamato afterwards. But even though Yamato was defeated and physically killed by Yabiko, Yamato survived by possessing a nearby human after which he worked on regaining his power and ensuring the continuation of his bloodline. Once he finished the preparations for his return he proceeded to seal his soul into a vase that could only be opened by one of his powerful descendants, the descendant that opened it after 2000 years was Ouken who Yamato then possessed to finally break the seal in Amanohara and get hold of Habakiri.
