Takagi, Yasushi

高木泰士

He plays percussion and serves as the leader of Blast, typically managing the business partnerships and financial decisions required for the band's success. His preferred cigarette brand is "Black Stones," which inspired the band's name. He is also a law student, despite his "scary" appearance (shaved head, numerous earrings, and dark glasses). He acts as a big brother figure to Nana O—and occasionally Nobu—and served as Nana's "guardian" upon her arrival in Tokyo. Although he harbors feelings for her, he encourages Ren to rekindle their romance. In the past, he had several connections with members of Trapnest. Yasu and Ren grew up in the same orphanage and remained close friends after Yasu was adopted. He dated Reira in high school and was jealous of Takumi's success and influence over her, which he later cites as the reason for their breakup. Additionally, he is the oldest member of Blast, a fact Nobu sometimes teases him about (calling him "old man"). He is in a budding romance with Miu, surprising Ren and others who assumed he would date Reira again.
