== Charactah Account ==
Ryou is seems like your regular polite and friendly teenager, but he has extraordinary hidden abilities. Ryou's parents, Iwao and Misa Takatsuki, are former mercenaries who knew he would have to combat Egrigori someday and quietly trained him in survival techniques, martial arts, and strategy. Ryou always calmly analyzes any new situation and figures out the best solution. Ryou also has a high regard for human life and free will, and always fights for these with everything he has. Cool-headed most of the time, Ryou is an excellent leader, strategist, and overall combatant, Ryou nonetheless dislikes killing, but will do so if necessary. Ryou cares a great deal about his childhood friend, Katsumi. As of the epilogue, they are married and have a child who is strongly implied to be the reincarnation of the redeemed Black Alice.
Ryou appears to be a kind hearted, polite and friendly young man, proclaiming on many occasions his hate of killing people due to his high regard for human life and free will, Ryou stands by these principles and thus fights with them in mind with everything he has. His kindness is evident of the fact of him frequently helping those weaker and more vulnerable than himself, Ryou consistently shows as the story progresses he does find anything wrong in taking damage for those closest and most important to him; this meaning his friends and family, most notably the ARMS Kids (Hayato Shingu, Takeshi Tomoe and Kei Kuruma), being the most identical to him and can therefore relate to him best in the aspect of sharing the same burden with the addition of having similar abilities. Ryou always calmly analyzes any new situation and figures out the best solution.
Despite being cool headed most of the time and an excellent leader, strategist, and overall combatant, Ryou is seriously disturbed by needless violence and bloodshed. As a result Ryou occasionally demonstrates assertive behaviour; this only being the case when he is required to act in such a manner. Such assertiveness was demonstrated when *fill in*.

== Trivia ==
* Ryou Takatsuki goes on a brief downward spiral after believing he caused the death of his childhood friend (and girl he loved) Katsumi. When it turns out she was really alive, he spends most of the series traveling from Japan to America with his friends to rescue her, only to watch her be killed again by his own hands by accident (the bad guy threw her in front of himself as Ryou attacked), which causes Ryou to nearly bring about the end of the world out of his guilt and sadness. Then, when it turns out she's not dead again but is implanted with ARMS of her own and kidnapped by the evil organization Ryou's been fighting he must again battle his sadness while setting off to rescue her.
* Ryou by virtue of much of the story being driven by his desire to rescue Katsumi. This role is usually assigned to Kei in-universe, however, since she has the most military training of the bunch and he ARMS gives her the perfect surveillance ability.
