❝Stay away from my little sister, Uzui!❞

❝𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥❞

╰►When Takashi gets serious, hes a massive threat, being a very well rounded fighter. He fights with one big cleaver, obviously, being taught by Uzui.

❝𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥❞

╰► Takashi has full control of his breathing, and his body. But not of his mouth. He talks a lot of shit-

❝𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝❞

╰►If you wanna get specific, he should have one for murder and aggravated assault. Because he kills demons for a living, and used to beat up kids that bullied Ruby.

❝𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭❞

╰►Takashi was 8 when his father introduced him to Zodiac Breathing, and when he became a slayer, he rose through the ranks by killing lower level demons. Uzui saw promise in him and made him his Tsugoku, something he hadn't been interested in having before.

❝𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲❞

╰►Ideology; Takshi hates Demons, especially the twelve kizuki. He slayed one himself, just to become a Hashira and avenge his parents. He became a demon slayer for one reason: Revenge. But since he got that revenge, Takashi is now a demon slayer purely because he wants to help the innocent, and maybe find a life partner in the process.

❝𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬❞

╰►Like his sister, Takashi has freckles. He wears an earring only in his left ear (right for viewers), and his eyes are this checkered orange pattern. He is known for being one of the most handsome Hashira.

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲

❝Whats wrong? You're acting all skittish.❞

❝𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲❞

╰►A huge flirt, loud, 'flashy', compassionate, a tease, kind, a bit silly, relaxed, laid back (sometimes a bit too laid back).

❝𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬❞

╰►Likes: Crows, Jewellery, His job, Looking after his sister and the younger slayers, tofu, cupcakes, sushi and Tengen. Takashi really likes Tengen.

╰►Dislikes: Takashi isn't really fond of bugs, even pretty ones, so Shinobu scares him a lot. He also dislikes the texture of new books, and the feeling of wet socks.

❝𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭❞

╰►Extrovert. No ifs or buts. His opinions on the Hashira are as follows:

Gyomei Himejima - "A kind, yet strong soul. I would love to see him in Battle. I think his weapon and breathing style make him a very unique fighter! And my sister seems to trust him, so I do too."

Sanemi Shinazugawa - "One of the only people I trust around Ruby. He's so full of angst and self-hatred that I don't think he could ever steal her heart. I like his style though, and his scars are cool!"

Iguro Obani - "I don't think his snake likes me very much, so I don't think he does either. It's weird. They have a symbiosis that I envy. Strange guy though, but I respect him."

Giyuu Tomioka - "He's quiet, too quiet. I don't like his attitude sometimes. He can be so uncool, even if he's trying so hard not to be. And I've never seen him smile, what's up with that?"

Mitsuri Kanroji - "She's a sweet girl, and she's tough too! I love how strong she is despite remaining so openly feminine! I admire her a lot, and I think my sister does too. She's one of the people I get along with the most, and I treat her like a little sister."

Muichiro Tokito - "He forgets things a lot. I often have to remind him about what mission we're on, or how to do simple things. But, I suppose it's only fair. He's just 14 years old and can already swing a sword better than most slayers."

Kocho Shinobu - "Don't say her name! She's terrifying! She may seem all nice, but she's cut throat! Not to mention, she's always covered in gross butterflies! I guess she's not too bad and her voice is calming, but why did it have to be bugs?"

Kyojuro Rengoku - "The Flame Hashira is a bit hard of hearing, but I love his energy! He's always polite to every person he speaks to, and his battlefield expertise is impressive. But even so, Ruby is in love with him, and I don't get it."

Tengen Uzui - "Ohhh! Lord Tengen is my idol! I trained under him for a while, and he's actually real tough as a teacher! Although, he has three wives and I have to respect him for that much as well."

❝𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜❞

╰►Takashi is somewhere in the middle, being humorous and sarcastic.

❝𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬❞

╰►Relaxed. On and off the battlefield. He has faith in his abilities, but also knows not to take his fights lightly. One wrong move could mean death.

❝𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜❞

╰►He's a bit of both, but mainly optimistic.

❝𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭❞

╰►Sanguine

❝𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭❞

╰►Chaotic Good

❝𝐙𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐜❞

╰►Leo. As a Leo, his confidence is beyond any normal person's comprehension.

𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬

❝SHE'S MY LITTLE SISTER. BACK OFF.❞

❝𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫❞

╰►Mitskuni Hoshiko

╰►Takashi was her first born and therefore his mother loved him truly. Even with his eyes being extremely unique, his mother still loved him.

❝𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫❞

╰►Kyoya Hoshiko

╰►These two weren't always close. In fact, his father quite often was disappointed in Takashi's habits, like going out and being a nuisance with the neighbours.

❝𝐒𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠❞

╰►Ruby Hoshiko

╰►Two peas in a perfectly formed pod. They are inseparable. Takashi is very much protective over Ruby, especially when it comes to Uzui - "In my eyes, she's still my little sister. I'm her older brother, I'm supposed to protect her. She's a good kid, but she's a little obsessed with The Flame Hashira."

❝𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫❞

╰►Kyoya Hoshiko

╰►His father was hesitant to teach him Zodiac Breathing, but since Ruby's small body couldn't handle the stress, Takashi was trained in the other 6 forms, quickly coming to master them. He was an excellent learner. Quick. Efficient. But he was overlooked because of his sister. He didn't grow to hate her though, but instead helped her push to become stronger.

❝𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭❞

╰►Open

╰►He hasn't taken romantic interest in any of his fellow hashira.

❝Best 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝❞

╰►Tengen Uzui

╰►Takashi was Tengen's Tsugoku, and therefore picked up a lot of habits and traits from the man whilst he trained under him. Tengen helped him master total concentration breathing. The two have been close ever since, often sparring together, and other times, Takashi has to smack him over the head for trying to flirt with Ruby.

❝𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝❞

╰►Sanemi Shinazugawa

╰►He and Sanemi both have an agreement to protect Ruby from any harm, emotional or physical. Of course this fails when Rengoku dies, but how on earth were they supposed to know?

❝𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝❞

╰►Kyojuro Rengoku

╰►Takashi thinks Rengoku is an excellent role model, and strives to be like him one day. He approves of Kyojuro and Ruby's budding romance, even after it is cut short.

❝𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥❞

╰►Tengen Uzui

╰►This is a playful, friendly rivalry, often coming to the point of the two simply arguing over what food is more delicious.

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡

❝If you had been paying attention, you would know. Honestly, you're such an airhead.❞

❝𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡❞

╰►Takashi is an example of prime physical health. He is muscular, well kept, and his immune system is fine. Oh, and he has the same bone condition as Ruby, making him lighter and faster.

❝𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡❞

╰►Takashi has a bit of a god complex (Thanks Uzui), and some survivor's guilt from his past.

❝𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬❞

╰►Takashi used to beat up people who bullied his sister to the point it became a routine. Thankfully, he grew out of that.

𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 / 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐭

❝Hey, quit dozing off. Master is here.❞

ㅤ❝𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡/𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐭❞

╰►Zodiac Breathing

ㅤ❝𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰❞

╰►The Zodiac Breathing style is a style that Kyoya Hoshiko developed due to the light weighted bones that he inherited. He based the different breaths off of each of the 12 Zodiac. However, when Ruby and Takashi are together, they make their own 13th breath, based on Gemini (The twins). The only one to have mastered all 12 styles was Kyoya. Ruby and Takashi could only master 6 each, making 12 all together.

ㅤ❝𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬❞

╰►The same light-weight bone mutation that the Hoshiko family have. You also have to have a close connection to the stars.

ㅤ❝𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬❞

╰►Takashi's 6 breath techniques enhance his strength and defense, as well as his precision.

ㅤ❝𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬❞

╰►Only members of the Hoshiko family, or people who meet the requirements.

ㅤ❝𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡❞

╰►Blazing Roar of The Lion - This is a defensive technique made to save lives rather than take them. The user will rush between an ally and enemy while spinning their blade to create a 'shield' and catch an incoming attack

ㅤ❝𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡❞

╰►Claws of The Sea Crab - The user strikes the target with two slashes in order to remove their limbs, this is designed to debilitate in order for a follow-up attack

ㅤ❝𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡❞

╰►Weeping Scorpion's Strike - The user deliver a single strike with immense force to the target's heart.

ㅤ❝𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡❞

╰►Fishy Flowing Finisher - Best used as a following attack, the user decapitates their opponent with a quick slash through the neck in order to end their fight.

ㅤ❝𝐅𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡❞

╰►Stony Rush of The Bull - The only technique that does not make use of reading the opponent's movements, it requires resolve and confidence in order to work correctly. The user moves at a blinding speed to deliver several puncturing wounds before pinning their target to the floor with the user's weapon. This form is often most effective as an opening to combat or to deliver a final blow.

ㅤ❝𝐒𝐢𝐱𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡❞

╰►Boulder Bash of The Goat - The user strikes with an overhead slash of immense force. This can break their blade if the user is not careful to hit their target or avoided, it is best user as a breaker of the defenses on larger foes

ㅤ❝𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡❞

╰►Howling Twin Feint Flash - This technique was made specifically to be used in conjunction with Ruby, allowing for an effective finish through teamwork. Ruby rushes their opponent in order to gain their attention with several small slashes, placing themselves in the line of attack so Takashi can surprise the opponent with devastating follow-up attacks. It is considered a very high-risk, high-reward technique.

𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

❝I'll drive them away. You just find somewhere safe to hide.❞

❝𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 (𝟎-𝟏𝟐)❞

╰►For the first four years of his life, Takashi was the star child of his family. He was born with the same light bones as his father, and an impressive muscle mass too. So he excelled through his childhood. Then his mother fell pregnant with Ruby, and his life changed. His father became distant with him, until he was eight. When he reached the age of eight, and Ruby turned four, Takashi's father only came to Takashi because he needed to pass down the other six Zodiac Breathing forms to someone because Ruby's body couldn't handle it. At this age is when he began to beat up kids who would bully Ruby for her hair or freckles. At the age of 12, he had beaten a kid to near death because he bullied Ruby's nose.

❝𝐓𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 (𝟏𝟐-𝟏𝟖)❞

╰►When he was 16, Takashi had finally mastered the last Breathing style he needed in order to know all six of his forms. However, on his sister's 13th birthday, everything changed. A lower moon attacked their family, and killed their mother and father. But Takashi just wanted Ruby to live, so he blocked her body with his own, and stayed there until the sun rose. He was only 17, and he had to take care of his sister and clean up his own parent's murdered corpses.

❝𝐀𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 (𝟏𝟖+)❞

╰►At the age of 19, Takashi was a Tsugoku for Tengen Uzui, a guy who was the same age as him, yet had THREE WIVES. He didn't care much, because he was too focused on revenge. Which he got by killer lower 4, because Ruby had slain lower 3. Both Ruby and Takashi share the role of Zodiac Hashira, just like how Daki and Gyotaro share Upper Moon 6.

𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬

❝NOW'S YOUR CHANCE. PUSH YOURSELF. GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND YOUR LIMITS.❞

❝𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭(𝐬)❞

╰►Takashi flirts with Uzui playfully, often greeting him with a goofy nickname.

╰►During the Entertainment District Arc, The Twins are called in as backup. Takashi swings in and grabs Uzui, greeting him with 'There you are Sweetheart! Sorry I'm Late!'

╰►If Uzui ever flirts with Ruby, Takashi will usually hit him over the head harshly.

╰►Takashi is afraid of any of the girls wearing the butterfly clips. He hates bugs.

╰►The fandom sometimes ships Uzui and Hoshiko, 'THEY'RE HUSBANDS YOUR HONOUR' is usually their argument.
