## Biography

Takeo has been in many historical events in CoD Zombies such as the events that occurred in the zombies maps from Origins to Tag Der Toten. But what is important is in his childhood before Origins and his status after Tag Der Toten.

#### Younger years

Takeo would migrate to America and become best friends with a girl named Loona whom the latter would spend time with and enjoy each other. Takeo and Loona would become so close that they would never want to be separated from each other. They would do everything together and be the way we are without anyone telling them otherwise. His family was a Japanese mafia and thus only migrated to the US because his father wanted to recruit people for his mafia for his fame and control along with the emperor.

#### The death of Loona’s parents and a life change ritual

One night after seeing a movie, Takeo, Loona, and Loona’s parents would take a route between buildings to get to their transportation until a stranger came behind them and attacked them with a bullet weapon. Loona’s father would attempt a fight with the stranger but in the end, both Loona’s parents would end up getting shot and killed by the stranger while Loona and Takeo would be spared. This forced Loona to be taken into custody by an orphanage. But, the orphanage treated Loona with disrespect and often abuse her. Loona couldn’t take it anymore and set up a ritual to turn herself into a Hellhound and send her to Hell. This would upset Takeo as she was pronounced dead a few weeks later.

#### Moving back to Japan and joining the Japanese Imperial Army

Takeo would move back to Japan and then dedicate his life to his friend Loona. He would join the Japanese Imperial Army in honor of Loona and would eventually become the captain of the army. Takeo would remain loyal to the emperor of the army for several years until getting sent to Europe and this would start the events of Origins and lead up to Tag Der Toten.

#### Events after Tag Der Toten and reuniting with Loona

After getting poisoned by Primis Nikolai Belinski in Tag Der Toten, Takeo and Dempsey’s souls were supposed to reunite in Heaven with the rest of Primis and Ultimis. However, the same stranger that killed Loona’s parents would come back and drag both Dempsey and Takeo into Hell. Takeo and Dempsey would both retain their human forms instead of becoming demons like the other demons in hell due to both of them being forced into hell by another IMP instead of being forced into hell by Satan/The Entity. Dempsey would tell Takeo of sightings of an old friend as Takeo would become concerned about this mysterious friend. Takeo and Dempsey would head to the location of the the friend which was at the I.M.P (Immediate Murder Professionals) Building and Dempsey would leave Takeo to the rest. Takeo would enter the building and reunite with Loona whom he hadn’t seen in what felt like forever. Loona and Takeo would catch up and plan to return to earth.

#### Return to earth and meeting SST

After heading to Earth, the year would be of 2023. Takeo and Loona would meet and catch up with Scorpion and Kitana as they would introduce the two to SST and form allegiances with SST and his friends. They would remain there to the current day and the two inside would have strong feelings for each other.

## Personality

In the Dimension 63 timeline, his personality remained largely unchanged, but his beliefs in honor and discipline were stronger, as he has not yet been heavily exposed to the schizophrenic, and largely dishonorable, Richtofen, unlike his original counterpart. He came from a noble family who is close to the Emperor's household. He didn't trust his comrades and believed that their failures bring great dishonor and shame to their ancestors, but he respected them if they fight well, and tolerated Richtofen, considering he does not have much combat experience. He believed that the machines used by the Germans were abominations and must be destroyed. When with SST however, he matured from his strong beliefs in honor and discipline and unlike his father, not a cruel soulless being not with his mafia family and emperor.

## Friends

#### Loona

Takeo and Loona’s friendship is really huge and they both are always by each other’s side. They were both devastated when Loona’s parents were murdered and Loona would be abused at an orphanage in the US. This would cause Loona to do a ritual, become a hellhound, and remain in Hell for a few years. The two would reunite in hell and catch up on everything. They would then return to earth and live happily together with SST and their new friends. Including old ones such as Scorpion and Kitana.

#### Scorpion and Kitana

After Loona went to hell, Takeo would live on his life and plan to join the Japanese Imperial Army. He would meet a friend named Hanzo Hasashi and the two would join the army together. But after Hanzo found out about the emperor’s relation to Takeo’s father’s Mafia, Hanzo would leave the army and join the Shirai Ryu leading Takeo to become captain in honor of Hanzo. After Loona and Takeo reunited and returned from hell to earth, Takeo would reunite with Hanzo who looked different and would take on the role as Scorpion. Scorpion would also have a partner with him who was named Kitana. The four would become friends and share a valuable friendship.

## Trivia

* The CoD Zombies perk Quick Revive is Takeo's favorite perk, sometimes commenting on how it tastes like sushi.
* People will wonder about Takeo being human instead of demon in hell when entering it. Well, Takeo was forced by another demon into hell instead of being forced by Satan/The Entity into hell. Takeo retained his human form when entering hell.
	+ It makes sense since in the Helluva Boss Pilot, Blitzø, Moxxie, and Millie both took a client’s target to hell and he was not killed and still was a human.
* Takeo actually hates Blitzø who in turn hates him as well. due to Blitzø not accepting Takeo in spite of Loona who accepts him.
* Takeo seems to also dislike Moxxie, but Loona reveals to him that she doesn’t know why he hates Moxxie and that she just calls him fat due to her not finding any nicknames for Mox.
* Both Takeo and Loona are also friends with Millie however. Takeo and Loona comment on how badass Mille is, Takeo even told Millie once that she reminds him of “Tank” Dempsey whom the latter is friends with.
* Takeo and Loona (like the rest of I.M.P) share a strong hatred with enemies from Helluva Boss. Loona told Takeo that she has seen one of their enemies Striker run away from battle as she was going to get Blitzø. She also told Tak that she heard his name when she was on her way to the vet for a shot.
* Takeo has also shared stories with Loona such as his adventures in Origins, The Giant (Remake of Der Riese), Der Eisendrache, Gorod Krovi, Revelations, Blood of the Dead, and unfortunately Alpha Omega. Takeo even told her about Zetsubou No Shima explaining that he has to murder another version of himself to secure a better tomorrow.
