**Takumi Nishijou** (西條 拓巳, *Nishijō Takumi*) is the main protagonist of *ChäoS;HEAd*. Takumi lives his life as a shut-in student in a metal container, where he spends most of his time playing the MMORPG *Empire Sweeper Online (ESO)*.

He is a borderline *hikikomori* who spends most of his time shut away at his home, a cargo container, which he calls his "base". He is a second-year Suimei Academy student and experiences many delusions, his most common positive delusion being one of Seira Orgel, his favorite anime character from the show *Blood Tune: THE ANIMATION* (*Burachu* for short).

## Appearance

Takumi has spiky, dark hair and medium-sized, downward-facing hazel eyes. He has a thin, scrawny build with pale skin, likely the result of spending most of his time indoors. Takumi also tires frequently because of his lack of exercise. He is also somewhat disheveled due to not getting enough sleep or caring much about his personal appearance.

He frequently wears the Suimei Academy uniform, which consists of a yellow blazer with a red rim with the school emblem sewn on the left side, a white shirt with a shirt collar and a loose blue tie underneath the blazer, along with long blue check trousers and black shoes. In the anime his long trousers are green instead of blue.

## Personality

Takumi is very shy and timid. He tries to keep his head down at school so no one will notice him. He even goes as far as to figure out how much school he can miss but still manage to graduate, with a minimum attendance chart which dictates that he only has to go to school two and a half times per week, so he can spend the rest of the time gaming and watching anime. Although he hardly has any friends in the real world, he has over 100 friends on the social networking service FrePara, where he is known as Lightning-Fast Neidhardt.

As a very timid and nervous person, Takumi tries to keep to the margins and to stay out of everyone’s attention. Even if someone speaks to him there is no guarantee he will reply; he usually does not talk unless someone else addresses him first. He always tells himself that he has no interest in 3D girls or people, but he finds himself “taken in” many times, most notably by Yua Kusunoki and Rimi Sakihata. He looks down on other people, people who are involved in the “3D world”, and convinces himself that he does not want to associate with them and would rather associate with 2D waifus like Seira Orgel and his collection of figurines. Takumi has an obsession with video games and the anime *Blood Tune*, has terribly low self-esteem, and refers to himself as a “disgusting otaku”. Takumi often suffers from “delusions”, imaginary experiences he has that appear realistic, yet do not actually happen.

## Background

Takumi was brought into existence a year and a half before the events of the game, being realbooted by Shogun. He is not aware of that, and since he is given some of Shogun's past memories, he thinks he lived the past years as a normal person. Whenever he does have to think about the details of the past few years, they appear very foggy and he cannot remember them clearly, as they are fabricated memories. For Shogun's past, see the plot section of his article.

Takumi spends this year and half without anything notable happening, playing *Empire Sweeper Online* and attending Suimei Academy, with Daisuke Misumi and Nanami Nishijou being the only two people he talks to in real life.

Takumi Nishijou has been living for the past two years inside a shipping container on his father's company's building. He plays video games every day and only goes to school two to three days a week, the minimum amount of days he has to attend school. One day, while chatting with his online friend Grimm, another chatter named Shogun sends him a formula and a horrific picture of a man victim of a grisly murder. Later that day in an alleyway, he encounters the same corpse and a girl in a school uniform belonging to the school he attends standing in front of the corpse, bloodied and with a cross-shaped stake in her hand. She smiles at him and calls him by his name, and Takumi, terrified, runs away in a panic.
