Makoto Takiya

**Makoto Takiya** (滝谷 真 *Takiya Makoto*) is a supporting character in *Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon*

and in **Tokyo Ghoul: Dragon Quinx** (東京喰種トーキョーグール: ドラゴンクインクス, *Tōkyōgūru: Doragon Kuinkusu*).

He is Kobayashi's friend and formerly her coworker in Jigokumeguri System Engineering Inc. Currently, he is a ghoul investigator and a commanding officer in Tokyo Liberation Front.

## Appearance

Takiya is a tall man with a slim build. He has black hair and dark blue eyes.

His office attire typically consists of a white button-down shirt, dark slacks, a blue necktie, and brown leather shoes.

When working in TLF, he wears a dark navy blue business suit and pants. He still has his brown leather shoes with him. During battles, he wears a TLF armour, which is similar to a CCG armour.

He also carries a suitcase which indicates his two bladed quinque from a Bikaku kagune.

## Personality

Takiya is good-natured and even-tempered (he takes surprises in stride), and is considerate of others by lending a helping hand.

As a closet otaku, he can be especially passionate and loud about his interests.

His personality somehow changed after joining TLF after his business shutdown due to the death of Shouta's father, his manager. He becomes serious and strict in someways, but he is still kind to his comrades. He lost his otaku personality as he became a changed man.

## Background

While sober and outside the comfort of his home, Takiya appears to be no different from an average office worker. He works alongside Kobayashi as a computer programmer in Jigokumeguri System Engineering Inc.

Besides working as a programmer, he also works as a mangaka and a game developer in his spare time, selling his products at Comiket.

After his business shutdown due to the death of his manager, he spent five years struggling to find a business. However, he decides to join TSC, working as a Peacekeeper. But things did not go as expected as he is forced to be a recruit of TLF.

## Relationships

### Fafnir

After Takiya accepts Tohru's request to allow Fafnir to live with him, he and Fafnir quickly become friends by bonding over video games, cooking, and literature. They also share an interest in magical girls. Over time, they become comfortable enough around each other that Fafnir allows Takiya to call him Faf-kun, a nickname of sorts.

He was disappointed when Fafnir was asked to return back to the dragon world due to the emerging of Dire Ghouls.

### Kobayashi

Kobayashi appears to be one of the few people who knows about Takiya's hobby as an otaku. As a maid otaku herself, they get along well in and outside of work. After hearing her death, he was devastated as if he decides to seek vengeance on the person responsible for her death.

### Tohru Kobayashi

Takiya is very kind to Tohru as he would do anything to help her avenge Kobayashi's death. He also offered to help recover back Shouta's Conduit powers, but she stated that it will be dangerous and could therefore, worse; gets himself killed. He made an excused that he is a highly "skilled fighter", this is because he was playing video games with Fafnir.

### Shouta Magatsuchi

Not much interaction is shown between them, but Takiya is seen giving Shouta coffee and most probably his favourite coke.

## Powers and Abilities

Takiya seen to be very professional with his quinque due to some video games he played with Fafnir. However, he is much interested in different type of quinque ideas like Akira Mado. He also has no restraint when spinning his heavy two bladed quinque to deflect kagune attacks.

* **Kotokatsu 1/4**: The quinque Takiya used to fight against an SS-Rated Dire Ghoul, it is a very strong quinque that is twin bladed. Takiya is able to spin this heavy quinque in fast speed, creating a rapid wave effect to deflect kagune attacks.

## Trivia

* Takiya is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura, who also voices Shouta's great uncle, Renji Yomo.
