Takao's appearance

Takao is a lanky teenage boy with short, black hair, and a quite noticeable pair of buck teeth. His glasses usually obscure his eyes. In school, he wears his respective seasonal uniforms, while outside of school, he is seen wearing more casual clothing.

Personality[]

Takao is known to have an awkward, anxious, somewhat strange personality. He often gets annoyed about not receiving chocolates of valentine's day. Despite teasing Nishikata about Takagi, he respects peoples' personal space and never interrupts Nishikata's alone time with Takagi. He has a crush on Sanae Tsukimoto, but struggles to properly express these feelings out of embarrassment, much like most of his male friends.

Main article: Nishikata & Hamaguchi

Takao is a close friend of Nishikata and Hamaguchi. They often hangout together both inside and outside of school. During his spare time he enjoys activities with them such as fishing, swimming, and playing video games at his house. Takao sometimes gets frustrated with Nishikata and Hamaguchi because they both have girls who give them chocolate on valentine's day while he does not. Hamaguchi once asked Nishikata and Takao for a favour which was to confess to their crushes, Takagi and Sanae Tsukimoto respectively because Hamaguchi didn't want to be the only one to confess to his crush, Houjou.

Sanae Tsukimoto[]

Takao is also revealed to have a secret crush of his own on fellow classmate Sanae Tsukimoto, after Hamaguchi claims everyone knows he likes her. This is further emphasized in chapter 112 when Takao blushes at the sight of Tsukimoto during his trip to the beach, unaware that she had arrived as well. It has not been indicated if Sanae returns his feelings. On the contrary, Sanae once got very angry with him for making fun of girls for writing letters, so much so that she kicked him.

Etymology[]

  • The surname Takao means "tall, high" (高) (taka) and "tail, ridge" (尾) (o).
