Kamitani, Taka

狼谷鷹

Taka is among the children Ryuuichi Kashima babysits. He is the son of Shizuka Kamitani, a science teacher at the middle school, and the younger brother of Hayato, whom he admires. The two share a bittersweet relationship, in which his brother occasionally expresses his affection. Most of the time, however, he hits Taka on the head as punishment (a running joke in the manga). Their father is later revealed to be Hebihara Taizou, a chemistry teacher at the high school.
Taka is very talkative. He is close friends with Kotarou and is friendly toward all the other children in the daycare. He enjoys playing heroes and often cries about his brother hitting him, sometimes calling him "Baka Aniki" (stupid older brother).
