Powers: The ability use Reiki as two different types of weapons.
Moves Set: Spirit Derringer aka pee shooter. Similar to Yusuke's Spirit Gun, but instead of one "bullet" it fires two extremely weak shots at the same time from both the right index finger and the right middle finger. Takao Shouts Derringer when he uses this move. This move is only good for one shot a day, though it doesn’t completely use up his Reiki due to being an extremely weak attack.
Spirit dagger aka Dagger: Sort of like Kuwabara's Spirit Sword, but much, much less impressive. Takao says Dagger instead of the full name of this move when he uses it. Eventually he will learn how to use the Spirit Dagger as a throwing knife, but for now he can only use it in his hands. For now he only has the ability to use one at a time for now.
ATATATATATA: A flurry of punches or kicks accompanied by the sound ATATATATATA due to watching way too much Fist of the North Star aka Hokuto no Ken recently.
Suplex: He can perform the same type of suplex as Guile from Street Fighter.
Elbow and knee strikes: He can use his elbows and knees as effective “weapons”.
Martial arts grappling: Takoa knows all of the different throwing techniques, but isn’t great at sacrifice throws. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throw_(grappling)#Hip_throws
He also knows how to defend himself from attackers armed with a knife or a club, but has little to no experience with unarmed vs gun techniques, which contributed to his untimely death.
Fighting Style: MMA aka Mixed Martial Arts.
Abilities: He is fairly skilled with knife type weapons. He also has similar abilities to Yusuke when it comes to speed and strength, just no to the same degree.
Personality: Takao is a very friendly boy. He enjoys helping others quite a bit. Takao also tends to act without thinking about a situation all the way through thus earning his nickname dumbass. If he gets pissed off in a fight, he gets worse as a fighter unlike his predecessor, Yusuke. In terms of being a fighter, he doesn’t have the natural talent that Yusuke has for it, but he makes up for with book smarts. He has pretty bad luck, which is only apparent once people know him for a few hours. He also has an honor code of sorts. Takoa will fight against women or other genders besides males, however the main point of his honor code is a fair fight.
Biography: Takoa comes from a very loving family that is also very well off family. His family’s wealth is why he could take various martial arts classes. Takao had a very healthy relationship with his family. His life as a student was rather uneventful until he met Yuuna at the age of 7. Takao first noticed her when she was being bullied by other students, one of which was a former friend. They were pulling her hair, poking her, and throwing small pebbles at her. He reacted by rushing up to them and breaking their noses resulting in his out of school suspension, which his family praised his actions to the surprise of the teaching staff. At the age of 13 he noticed a drastic change in Yuuna’s overall demeaner, and increased his efforts to be her friend, starting by asking her when her birthday was. That question lead him to learning her address as well. He got her birthday wrong somehow, and ended up at her house a day early. When he heard the first gunshot, he reacted against his instincts and rushed towards the sound fearing for his friend’s life. He had just set his gifts down in the hallway that lead to her room when he heard the second shot. When Takao entered the room, he saw Yuuna sitting on the floor bleeding out, and a man pointing a gun at her. He sprinted at the man and kicked him in the balls. Before the foot he had landed a kick with was back on the ground, he attempted to punch the man in the face, just above the bridge of the nose. Thinking he had broken the man’s face, Takao then turned to look to see if Yuuna was still alive. He cried when he saw her lifeless body for a few seconds before he was shot himself. Takao was losing consciousness as the ambulance arrived to the scene and police and other emergency crews entered the room. The medics quickly took his unconscious body to the nearest hospital. He was pronounced dead about 20 minutes after the whole ordeal was said and done. When he came to he was greeted by an annoyed blue haired woman. The woman identified herself as Botan, and told Takao that she was a Grim Reaper. He asked her about Yuuna, and was told that the young girl had already been taken to Spirit World. Botan compared the Takao’s reckless behavior to that of another youth she had dealt with years ago. She went on to say that no one expected him to die that day, and that after an ordeal he could have his life back. He asked her if Yuuna would have the same opportunity. Botan said that she would if she so desired. Takao agreed to go through the ordeal, thinking that his family would no doubt want him to be alive again. It took several months to complete the ordeal to get his life back. And soon after he was resurrected he was made aware that from then on he would be a Spirit Detective in training. Takao is interested in entering this tournament to both test his strength even though it is waaaaay too early for him to do anything like that and to try to resurrect Yuuna whom he, assumes is a ghost still.
