[edit] Character overview
Takumi is depicted as a very kind and feminine boy who suffers from a heart condition he got when he was little and has to take tablets that he always carries around. He is the younger brother of Mai Tokiha. When Mai was supposed to watch Takumi, but instead she went off with a friend to play with, Takumi went into a river, being unable to swim and his mother had to rescue him, causing Mai's and Takumi's mother to be in the hospital and later died.
[edit] My-HiME
Mai and Takumi are first seen on a ferry boat on their way to Fuua Academy, which is a new school for them. Takumi sees something in the water, and it turns out to be a girl named Mikoto Minagi, a girl who nearly drowned, and Mai performs CPR on her. Later on, the ferry is under attack by Natsuki Kuga who is looking for Mikoto, and the ferry is destroyed by Natsuki's and Mikoto's battle. Takumi and Shiho Munakata are separated from Yuuichi Tate and Mai, until she arrives unexpectedly on the school grounds the next morning.
Takumi is placed in the Middle School, and is assigned to be roommates with Akira Okuzaki, the most popular boy in their class. Akira initially avoids Takumi, but later begins to like Takumi as a close friend. Akira has a part in helping Takumi make a cake for Mai's birthday in episode 10, and after an Orphan attacks Takumi, a disguised Akira appears and slays the Orphan. Takumi asks if the ninja is Akira, who denies it, despite the obviousness of the situation. Later on, Takumi discovers Akira's real gender is a female and threatens to kill Takumi. Takumi is involved with the battle of the HiMEs, since he was thought to be his sister Mai's Key, but this was proved wrong when Takumi evaporated when Akira's CHILD was defeated.
Takumi is revived with the other HiME and other people who evaporated by Mashiro Kazahana at the end of the series. He also is with Akira in America, getting a heart transplant.
[edit] My-HiME manga
Takumi's role in the manga version is severely reduced. He is more sickly in this version, being in the hospital a lot, with Akira constantly visiting him. Akira and Takumi's relationship is unexplored in the manga. Instead of Reito, who is nonexistent in the manga, Takumi is the host of the Obsidian Lord, and actually dies before being revived by the power of the Obsidian Lord.
[edit] My-Otome
Takumi is shown in the My-Otome anime as the lord and ruler of Zipang and the son of the Shogun. He has a very similar personality as his My-HiME incarnation, with the same name. During an official government visit, Takumi wanders off into Windbloom incognito, and meets Mashiro Blan de Windbloom, who uses the name of Nina Wáng, while Takumi uses the name Akira Okuzaki (who is actually his bodyguard pretending to be him at the palace). Takumi and Mashiro have a great time together walking around Windbloom, and he opens Mashiro's eyes to the poverty that exists in her country. Akira and the other Otome eventually find him, and Akira gives him medicine via a kiss when he begins having an attack of an unspecified illness. Takumi has a conversation later with Natsuki Kruger about Windbloom, and his opinion that giving a young girl the power of an Otome is too much of a burden, referencing his own connection to the Fire String Ruby, his older sister Mai Tokiha, a legendary Otome who was torn between being an Otome and her love for a man and disappeared. Takumi and Mai are reunited at the end of the series after Mai is found alive in the Black Valley.
[edit] My-Otome manga
Takumi is actually the ruler of Cardair, as Zipang did not exist in the manga. Takumi becomes king after the former emperor John's Otome is killed in action. In this incarnation Takumi is confined to a wheelchair. Instead of being his bodyguard, Akira is his Otome. The two Akiras, the My-Otome and the revived HiME Akira from the My-HiME manga battle over Takumi, each claiming that he is theirs.
[edit] Mai HiME PS2 Game
In the Mai HiME PS2 Game, Takumi is more of a background character, also the younger brother of Mai, the only difference is that he is 9 years old source instead of 12 years old he is in the My-HiME anime and manga.
