Takeda is a wondering fighter and occasional bounty hunter in the New World, along with being former Ninja of Wano. After his family's failed attempt at overthrowing the current rulers of Wano, he exiled himself out of shame and disregarded his clan's name.

Appearance

Takeda is a lean figure, standing tall and muscular, showcasing his years of rigorous training and battle-hardened life. His mid-length straight black hair frames his usual stern face, reaching just to his ears, often falling into his emerald green eyes. Thin black eyebrows sit above them, constantly furrowed in thought or focus.

A distinctive scar marks the corner of his right lip, a feature that Takeda got after dueling his father to a draw.

His attire is a blend of practicality and traditional martial arts aesthetics. He wears a tight-fitting black shirt that accentuates his muscular build, allowing for unrestricted movement. His tan baggy training pants, secured with a black belt weaved through the waist, offer both comfort and flexibility, essential for his swift, agile fighting style. Completing his outfit are black martial arts slippers, designed for silent, sure-footed movement across various terrains.

Personality

Takeda is a man of few words, his stoic demeanor a shield forged by years of hardship and personal tragedy. The failed coup by his family against the Wano government marked a turning point in his life, forever altering his perspective. The betrayal and subsequent disgrace taught him a crucial lesson: emotions can be a weakness. As a result, Takeda developed an almost unshakable calmness, rarely displaying his feelings or letting them influence his decisions.

Beneath this stoic exterior lies a heart capable of deep compassion, albeit reserved and rarely shown. Takeda's empathy for the downtrodden and oppressed stems from his own experiences of shame and loss. He understands the pain of being judged and marginalized, and this understanding fuels his silent acts of kindness. While he may not openly express his sympathy, he often goes out of his way to help those in need. Whether it’s providing food to a starving family or protecting a village from marauders, Takeda's compassion manifests through his actions rather than words. His reserved nature means that these acts of kindness are often anonymous, reinforcing his belief that true virtue lies in deeds, not recognition.

Takeda's journey as a bounty hunter is guided by an unyielding sense of morality. Despite the moral ambiguities of his profession, he adheres to a strict code of ethics. He refuses to take on jobs that compromise his principles, turning down bounties that involve harming innocents.
