## Debut

### Manga

Chapter 26

**Takeaki Okamoto** (岡本武明 (たけあき) , *Okamoto Takeaki*) is one of the characters in *Loving Yamada at Lv999!* series, written and illustrated by Mashiro.

## Appearance

Okamoto is around the same height as Yamada. He has short, wavy black hair, small black eyes, and a characteristically swirly blush on his cheeks. He often wears printed hoodies with different styles and occasionally a black long-sleeved shirt underneath and black pants.

## Personality

Okamoto describes himself as an avid gamer who is not romantically sociable with women, once even leveling Akito Yamada with him. Even then, he is a caring friend who holds a solid friendship with Yukari Tsubaki, whom he supports through the ups and downs of her life, as well as Yamada, whom he supports in his romantic relationship.

## Chronology

### Background

A few years ago, Tsubaki approached Okamoto and Yamada in class, suspecting Yamada of cheating in an FPS game called "Gos-E." Okamoto teased Yamada for Tsubaki's suspicions and later visited his apartment with her to watch Yamada play in real life. Okamoto soon fell asleep as Yamada played the game while Tsubaki watched him.

### The New Guild Member Arc

***Main article: The New Guild Member Arc***
Okamoto first appears when Tsubaki comes strolling into the classroom before the beginning of class. He greets Tsubaki enthusiastically and remarks how she was talking to herself when she entered the room. Tsubaki asks him and Yamada if it is possible for two people to start a relationship even by the slightest chance, and Okamoto claims that they cannot answer her question because he and Yamada have never had girlfriends before, being too invested in video games to think about romance.

When Okamoto overhears Tsubaki's conversation with Yamada about Forest Of Savior, he calls her a secret gamer and pits her with the both of them, who have offered their youth to video games.

Later, as Yamada receives a call from an unknown number, Okamoto teases him for having a lot of girls calling him.

After cram school, Okamoto walks home with Tsubaki and Yamada, stating that he is hungry despite eating a hamburger before class. He notices Yamada talking to someone on the phone and realizes that it was the unknown caller from earlier. He asks Yamada to put him on the line if it was a girl with a cute voice. When the caller picks up, Okamoto smugly remarks that he correctly knew that it was going to be a woman. A few moments later, Okamoto leaves Tsubaki and Yamada alone to buy food at a fast food chain and comes back promptly.

On another day, Okamoto walks with Tsubaki to cram school and asks her if Yamada picked up her calls. Tsubaki theorizes that it might be because of his tutoring gig, while Okamoto thinks that he is with a girl. Tsubaki denies this, claiming that Yamada is not that kind of person, but Okamoto reasons that she must drop that particular mindset if she does not want another girl to get closer to him before she does. As Tsubaki cries, Okamoto advises that she confess her feelings for him soon.

Sometime later after cram school, Okamoto notices that it is raining heavily. He asks Yamada what he intends to do with the rain, and Yamada tells him that he has an umbrella. Okamoto asks to share his umbrella with him, but gives up his spot for Tsubaki, who also does not have an umbrella with her. Tsubaki declines the offer, but Okamoto whispers that it is her chance to spend more time alone with Yamada. He also encourages her to make a move on him, stating that nothing will happen between the both of them if she does not present herself to him, even in the weirdest ways.

### Espion Arc

***Main article: Espion Arc***
Meanwhile, Okamoto is at Yamada's house when Akane calls to say she's on her way. Okamoto asks if it's Eita coming, but Yamada says it's someone else - a woman. This reminds Okamoto of their class president, Tsubaki, who he knows has feelings for Yamada.

When Akane arrives with takoyaki, she accidentally bumps into Yamada's small table and hurts herself. Yamada tries to soothe her by touching her shoulder—something he never does—which surprises Okamoto. At the convenience store, the owner interviews Hasegawa for a part-time job and hires him to work nights. He also puts Hasegawa in charge of training with Akane during her remaining days at the store.

Tsubaki confirms to Yamada that he has a girlfriend, which she learned from Okamoto.

Yamada is one of Okamoto's good friends, whom he has known for a long time. He and Yamada went to the same high school and cram school together along with Tsubaki, and they would be seen with each other often.
