Takao is the lead ship of the Takao-class heavy cruisers and serves as an instructor for the Sakura Empire's other kansen. She's best known for her no-nonsense demeanor—serious about everything, whether it's combat, volleyball, or building sandcastles—but there's a softer side underneath. She's genuinely shy and has a warm heart, though she doesn't always show it.
Her speech patterns lean heavily toward traditional and archaic Japanese, fitting her samurai girl aesthetic. She's taken bridal training seriously (and repeatedly) because she's determined to become a good wife someday. Fans often note the contrast between her stern, strict exterior and the earnest, somewhat endearing way she throws herself into everything she does.
