Overview:
Takatora is somewhat ruthless, and very much a realist. He finds no meaning in battle of any sort, and in the traditional understanding of it, he finds only an inevitable death. He will also say that those who question their enemy are not worthy of fighting; fighting is not about understanding; it is about taking care of something. It is about killing, about surviving. This is one of the world’s cold truths.
He is an elitist, a man who goes straight to the point. He’s brutally honest, but is capable of showing emotion when it’s needed. He knows that life is a serious endeavor, and that life requires focus and attention. He finds distractions (such as hobbies) to be worthless, believing that life only needs to be directed at one thing, instead of cluttered with useless things. A single goal is all that is truly needed. His goal is Yggdrasil.
He faces things head on, and believes that everyone should. He’d rather someone come straight for him, rather than flee. Yes, there is an aspect of cunning that is required, an amount of back-stabbing, but for the most part things should be blunt, they should be directly put out. He also believes, in extension, that if someone is willing to fight, they are willing to die, or to kill, and how someone chooses to act in that situation will say more about them than words ever could.
He knows that the world has a great deal of senseless malice, and that people need to realize that. If they don’t, their lives have been pointless. He believes that everyone should see the world for what it is, rather than see it through rose-tinted glasses of any sort. There is beauty in the world, but it’s still a cold place, a place with fear, loneliness and death.
He has strong morals, honor and chivalry. He doesn’t discriminate, believing that everyone deserves to have a fair chance at the same start, and then must carry themselves on their own power, and if they realize they can’t, then they must make arrangements to fix that. He holds an odd kindness and sincerity, despite his blunt approach, especially towards women and children and those who are unable to fight, despite how strong their drive may be.

History
Takatora was raised by his mother, while his father was busy with other responsibilities, which would later lead to his founding of Yggdrasil. The company played a large role in his life from the moment it entered their family’s lives. He put his younger brother ahead of him, and did everything he could for him, and also for his father.
Takatora went to an elite school in Zawame and didn’t focus on anything other than an education, on gaining perspective. His father gave him help, talking to him about his work, and talking about Takatora’s future. Takatora wanted to reach that future, so he put his best efforts into his schooling, getting rid of everything else.
When he was twelve, his mother was murdered before his eyes in a mugging incident. He came to realize how cold and harsh the world was, and practically raised himself while his father was working. He became colder, more ruthless, putting everything into getting ahead in school, because it would translate to life later on. However, he still put on a mask for Mitsuzane, and tried to be there for him.
When he was eighteen he began to work more closely with his father, while also dealing with his university. He began to learn his father’s duties, and how to perform them. He had a future for himself, and upon his completion of university, he began to work with his father, stepping in for him whenever he had to, working directly for Yggdrasil now.
He eventually met Ryoma Sengoku, and became the first test subject for the Sengoku Drivers. After a long process, it paid off, and he was the first. Test Subject 00.
He became head of R&D at the Zawame branch while his father oversaw operations from the main branch in Tokyo. Takatora’s primary goal was getting the corporation armed against the Inves, and figuring out how to proceed. He still lived with his brother, and oversaw his life and tried to ensure him a good future.
It eventually came time to hand out more Sengoku Drivers, and start using teenagers as test subjects. He chose to divorce himself from knowing who they were, preferring not to know so that he didn’t have to feel for anyone, at least for now.
His current plans are unknown, but he does have a goal.
