Appearance

Like every captive under Orochimaru, Takishi went about in the plain uniform of the hideout, a white shirt paired with trousers of the same colour. His hair was cropped and unruly in a pale shade that the anime rendered as black, and his eyes were dark.

Personality

Pride ran deep in Takishi, and losing was something he could not stomach. Even as death closed in from his wounds, he refused to hold his tongue, hurling insults at the very people who had beaten him.

History

Overpowered by Hebi, he sneered at Suigetsu Hōzuki and cautioned him about the peril of setting Jūgo loose. Suigetsu brushed the warning aside, insisting the group could handle whatever came, yet Takishi kept goading him with predictions of ruin. The needling wore thin, and Suigetsu silenced him for good.
