Takuya Yagami

Appearance
Takuya has brown hair and green eyes, along with a usual gentle appearance. He is commonly shown wearing the standard male school uniform.

Personality
On the exterior, Takuya is described to be a person who is very soft-spoken and gentle towards the people he meets. He is also courageous as he was able to directly speak with Kazuomi Hōsen and guide the conversation peacefully despite Hōsen's violent nature. He also seems to hold a certain level of attention towards Kikyō Kushida. His true self however is someone who harbours a darker personality. He doesn’t like resorting to physical violence but isn’t above using it to get what he wants.

When the result of his imminent expulsion became clear, his true personality came to light. He completely disregarded his old facade, lashing out at teachers, students and friends alike, making it clear that he will physically take down anyone who steps in his way. He also carries an aura of continued arrogance and pride after his image was shattered, showing how much he believes in his own abilities.

He was revealed to be from the White Room, which allows him to know about those with similar origins to him like Kiyotaka Ayanokōji and Ichika Amasawa. This coincides with his goal to force Kiyotaka to return to the White Room by any means necessary, making him one of the most dangerous individuals in the school.

Plot
Takuya was first introduced in Volume 1 of 2nd Year, as he was seen watching the fight between Kazuomi Hōsen and the other 2nd years before Hōsen calls him out directly. Takuya counters by saying that it was better to stay out of trouble. Soon enough, a teacher arrives to stop the fight which proved his point. Takuya then apologises for Hōsen's actions to the 2nd years and immediately noticed Kikyō Kushida, who he claims to be his senpai in middle school. Excited, he goes to greet her before asking if they can become partners for the special exam. Kushida decides to hold off on her decision which leads Takuya offering to wait for her until she makes a decision.
