Takechi acts as the strategist for the Kiheitai and takes little part in physical combat. He describes himself as a feminist, stating this is why he treats women and children gently. Matako, however, thinks he has a Lolita complex (making him a 'lolicon'). Takechi once remarked that Kagura would be at her peak in a few years. He stopped Matako from killing Kagura, arguing that her fighting skills would be amazing in a few years. He is severely injured by a mad Okada, and his fate afterward remains unknown. His name is derived from the Meiji restoration era samurai, Takechi Hanpeita.
