**Oimachi Takahisa** is a character in the ROAD59 franchise and is affiliated with the Shinonome-gumi.

## Profile

Despite his shady and gloomy appearance, he is in charge of negotiations for the Shinonome-gumi. He is a con artist who uses his silver tongue and specialty in bluffing to bring people into shady deals for a favorable transaction. He mixes many truths and falsehoods into his words that even his colleagues cannot tell whether his words are a lie or not. Along with Bakuto's recklessness, he often causes Seigo to lose his temper.

## Appearance

Notable for being slovenly, Takahisa has untidy ash blond hair and droopy purple eyes that highlights his shadiness. His attire consists of a formal gray pinstripe suit with a black necktie that has blue paisley designs. His button-up is improperly tucked, and occasionally he puts on a long gray trench coat on top of his suit. He wears a bronze-colored watch and brown oxfords.

## Personality

Takahisa is a carefree and jocular individual who doesn't take things too seriously, bringing levity into situations and has a penchant for toying with people. His laid-back demeanor drives him to avoid doing tedious work such as engaging in battle, but he instead prefers to handle situations through his astute skill in negotiation. As a fraudster, he can be quite sly in battle, although this often gets him into trouble with others.

## Abilities

Takahisa usually chooses not to engage in fighting as he's more specialized in negotiation, and he mentions that his combat abilities are poor. But when negotiating, he is able to read and interact with people's minds, allowing him to manipulate them to his favor. When it comes down to it, he'll use a pistol to support from afar.

## Relationships

### Shinonome

* Yanagi Bakuto: Being the troublemakers of the group, the two are quite compatible and work very well with each other, although Bakuto is often subject to Takahisa's mischief.
* Yutsuma Kaya: Though Takahisa usually displays an apathetic attitude, he seems to genuinely look out for Kaya as the other Shinonome members do, lending her katana to her during the penultimate battle of the first stage play when she had nothing to fend with. He is the only Shinonome member who doesn't refer to Kaya by her name, instead referring to her as "ojou-chan".
* Naruyama Seigo: Takahisa loves getting a kick out of Seigo's anger, and in return, gets rebuked by him. But in the second stage play, he gets caught off-guard when Seigo displays a more honest side towards him.
* Kirimiya Yuto: Yuto often scolds Takahisa on his antics.
* Toudou Shigure: Shigure often has to straighten Takahisa up whenever he slacks off at work.

### Tenkai Ward

* Yanagi Atsuhiko: Takahisa states that when Ichijo had framed him to the yakuza, who was plotting to kill him, Atsuhiko ended up taking Takahisa in.
* Ichijo: Ichijo and Takahisa formerly worked together in the past as fraudsters, but after Ichijo had framed Takahisa to the yakuza and was "taken by the cops", their relationship broke off. Despite their past troubles, Ichijo seeks to work with Takahisa again in the second stage play. Simultaneously, Ichijo remains contemptuous towards Takahisa as he promises him that he'll "knock him to the bottom of the earth someday" and is also irritated to find that he softened up after their separation.

## Stage Plays

### 1st Stage Play

Takahisa, in a sluggish mood, is first seen entering the Shinonome's office to be introduced to Kaya, though he doesn't show much interest. Shortly after, an infuriated Seigo enters, who yells at Takahisa for not accompanying him into the city to confront the Hakurou. Shigure settles them down and has them to discuss possible interests together that Kaya would be familiar with so she could feel more adjusted to them. Instead, Kaya switches the subject and questions the Shinonome on why she's being pursued by the yakuza and their reasons for rescuing. She acknowledges that the members have no ill intentions towards her, therefore requesting them to cooperate with her, which Takahisa and the others have no qualms against. A scene later, while Kaya resides in their headquarters, Bakuto captures her right before their eyes, yet they are unable to stop him. Takahisa questions Kiyonobu on who Bakuto is and if what he did was acceptable, but Kiyonobu reassures them that he's familiar with him.

Bakuto eventually finds himself at the Shinonome's headquarters again after being attacked by the Kurojou, who robbed Kaya away from him. Though he gives Takahisa and the others an unfriendly welcome, he later decides to cooperate with them to rescue Kaya after his conversation with Kiyonobu. Takahisa watches with the others as Bakuto performs his ritual with Kiyonobu in order to bear his Jingi, and they all head out to the battlefield together to rescue Kaya, much to Takahisa's reluctance.

In the subsequent scene, Takahisa and Shigure try to pass by a confrontation between Sho, Shizuka and Kazuomi. Takahisa reminds Shigure that he's unwilling to engage in fighting due to his lack of combat skills and attempts to withdraw, but Shigure stops him from doing so. Suddenly, Shizuka makes an immediate attack on the duo, forcing them to fight anyway. Kazuomi tries to flee from their conflict, but Takahisa catches him at gunpoint and asks him on Kaya's location. However, with his mind-reading ability, Takahisa notices that Kazuomi ends up escaping because Shizuka allowed him to, which he teases her about. She doesn't take his intrusion too kindly before following after Kazuomi, leaving the rest to Sho. But to Sho's disadvantage, Takahisa and Shigure distracts him and runs away as well.

They later regroup with the rest of the Shinonome after witnessing Kaya getting captured by PHOENIX. Despite the initial setback, Takahisa had fortunately memorized PHOENIX's hideout location and chooses to take the situation seriously from now on. To their surprise, Kiyonobu decides to accompany them, since he wanted to meet with Kaya after years of absence, and they end up going along with his decision. Takahisa then reads Bakuto's mind, seeing that he recalled Kaya had owned a katana back at the Shinonome's office, which Takahisa later decides to grab. Once they're settled, they venture out to confront PHOENIX.

In the midst of their journey, the members are halted by a group of PHOENIX personnel ahead. While Seigo tries to come up with a strategy to deal with them, Takahisa expedites the situation by recommending Bakuto to fight the PHOENIX personnel head-on, much to the other members' appall when he actually does it. While this greatly entertains Takahisa, Seigo reminds him that Bakuto's Jingi still hasn't activated yet, rendering him vulnerable as a human and also that he should also act more professional around Kiyonobu. However, Kiyonobu has no qualms against Takahisa's actions and allows him to go ahead to catch up to PHOENIX with Bakuto.

Finally, Takahisa and Bakuto catches up with PHOENIX, who were attempting to evacuate with Kaya. Before the fighting starts, Takahisa immediately backs down and allows Bakuto to handle all of the combat, instead watching from behind. While Bakuto struggles to fight against Anthony, he questions on when his Jingi will activate, but Takahisa advises him to wait a little longer and continue fighting. Irina decides to join in the fight and kill Bakuto before his Jingi activates, but Takahisa brings their fight to a halt. Negotiating with Anthony and Irina, he tricks them into acting as their companion and betraying the Shinonome, in which Anthony is too gullible to actually believe in his words. He manages to catch the PHOENIX duo off-guard before shooting at them, then handing Kaya her katana. Suddenly, PHOENIX reinforcements arrive, but before they take action, Bakuto and Kaya's Jingi awakens, giving them power strong enough to fend off the reinforcements.

Anthony, realizing that the situation was at a disadvantage, orders a withdrawal, but Irina refuses to end the fight. Irina then discloses her ulterior motives, and Takahisa realizes that she was the one responsible for killing Bakuto's father. Infuriated, Bakuto retaliates against her, and Shigure and Kiyonobu arrive immediately after he leaves to pursue her. Takahisa stays behind with them while Anthony and Kaya depart.

In the climax, Takahisa, later joined by Kiyonobu and Shigure, gets into a standoff with the other Jingi organizations while surrounding Bakuto and Kaya. To prevent any more bloodshed, Kaya awakens her Jingi powers, forcing the other organizations to retreat. The Shinonome remain with Kaya, and together, they fondly watch over her reunion with her father Kiyonobu and head back home. They then run into Inaba, who was planning to leave the Tenkai Ward after her store got destroyed, and they give her all of their farewells. From there on out, Bakuto and Kaya start their new life living with the Shinonome.

### 2nd Stage Play

「Oh? You're gonna ask me about *that*? That was during my naive phase y'know?」
Spoiler Alert!*Note that there are unmarked spoilers under the collapsed section. Proceed to read with caution, or don't read at all!*

Takahisa is first seen returning from a mission with Shigure, presumably investigating the counterfeit bill situation that had been currently affecting the Shinonome. On the top of that, the Shinonome also has to also pay for large expenses that was mainly caused by Bakuto, therefore Kiyonobu concludes that Bakuto's share of the month would be given with Seigo's. To contend against this, Bakuto suggests that catching the manufacturer of the counterfeit bills would resolve the issue for the Shinonome. Agreeing with this suggestion, Kiyonobu orders Takahisa to follow Bakuto on his plan, which he's initially hesitant to engage with, but Kiyonobu eventually convinces Takahisa that he's the most suited for the plan. The two decide to meet up later after gathering information.

Takahisa and Bakuto assemble later on and have a small discussion about the lack of sakura blooming in the Tenkai Ward. Meanwhile, Takahisa asks if Bakuto gained any information, but the latter wasn't able to understand what he had heard, much to Takahisa's disappointment. Takahisa remarks that the manufacturer of the counterfeit money could be his partner Ichijo during his fraudster era, who happened to be having a business dealings with the Kurojou the next day. Believing that the Kurojou could be the perpetrator of the counterfeit money, they therefore conclude to confront Kensei. Before they depart, Bakuto asks Takahisa on why joined the yakuza. Giving an exaggerated reaction, Takahisa states that Ichijo had framed him to the yakuza, who was aiming to kill him, but Bakuto's father ended up saving him. He then takes his leave and urges Bakuto to follow.

In the subsequent scene, Bakuto and Takahisa encounters Kensei, who was aiming to kill a man allegedly linked to Ichijo and the counterfeit bills. Kensei "politely" asks them not to interfere and attempts to make his lackeys kill the man, but Bakuto stops them with his Jingi. The duo fights off the lackeys, and Kensei teases whether it's okay for them to be here, since their "pink-haired boy" was on his own with Kaya. Realizing that they could be in danger, Bakuto and Takahisa split up; Bakuto goes ahead to catch up with Kaya and Yuto, while Takahisa stays behind to follow Kensei.

As soon as Takahisa catches up to him, Kensei had already left with his lackeys. Promptly, he runs into Ichijo from behind, much to his "surprise". Despite having a bitter greeting, Ichijo discards their bygones and requests to work with Takahisa once again, much to his interest.

Takahisa later returns back to the Shinonome's headquarters holding a large duffel bag and tosses it to Seigo. Bakuto asks him about what unfolded, and Takahisa assures that the counterfeit bills were already taken care of and the culprit was killed, which he claims was due to his "skill". Due to working overtime, he is approved for a day off from Kiyonobu, then silently taking his leave.

Afterwards, Takahisa and Ichijo are shown being caught and apprehended by PHOENIX personnel on Benedict's cameras. He is brought in to meet Benedict, and though Takahisa initially believes he's only being used by him to claim Kaya, Benedict reveals that his plans are actually different this time. He allows Takahisa use his abilities to peek into his mind, but Takahisa is unable to read any of his thoughts, putting him at a disadvantage. Promptly, other PHOENIX personnel appear with Suzuka apprehended, giving Benedict a good idea to use them in a tradeoff with their respective groups in order for him to gain his desires.

Meanwhile, at the Shinonome's headquarters again, the members are worried on Takahisa's whereabouts until Kaya receives a phone call from him. However, Benedict picks up the phone instead, informing them of Takahisa's situation and requesting the Shinonome to trade in Kaya in order to free him. While the members are in a dilemma, Shizuka suddenly breaks into their headquarters after disposing of Shinonome personnel right in front of them. She reveals that her sister Suzuka had also been captured by Benedict as well and desperately pleads to Kiyonobu to lend his daughter in order to free her as well. Despite having a minor dispute, Bakuto eventually encourages the Shinonome to help her out and team up to confront Benedict.

The group ends up catching up to Benedict. In the midst of their trade-off, they are able to safely retrieve Suzuka, who warns the Shinonome to be careful of Takahisa since something was wrong with him. Suddenly, Takahisa puts Kaya at gunpoint much to everyone's shock. Kaya is able to fight back from his clutches, but before they can take action, Takahisa pulls the trigger on himself. Alarming the Shinonome, it turns out that he was just tricking everyone into gaining an advantage over Benedict, and shoots at his cheek. Irritating Benedict, he turns the tables on them by summoning Irina, who stabs and shoots Bakuto multiple times. While Bakuto is on the brink of death, he makes his final wishes to the Shinonome despite Takahisa and others pleading for him to stay alive. To prevent the unwanted situation, Kaya ends up using her Jingi to resuscitate Bakuto. Though the Shinonome are unsure of what Kaya had done, they decide to get rid of PHOENIX.

In the end, the Shinonome are able to defeat the PHOENIX, forcing Benedict to withdraw with Maria and Irina. The conflict finally settles and due to Kaya's Jingi, cherry blossoms promptly begin to scatter. and as soon as the Shinonome make their way home, Ichijo calls out Takahisa, and he excuses himself to have a talk with him. He is surprised to see that Takahisa had joined the yakuza, yet expresses his irk in seeing him soften up and being surrounded by happiness around his companions. He grabs Takahisa by the collar and calls him foolish for trusting people that easily, but Takahisa shrugs him off, believing that he wouldn't understand the trust that he has with them. Snarking at this, Ichijo abandons him, and Takahisa is left alone, ripping a sheet of counterfeit money before the scene ends as he returns to the Shinonome.
