Takami is a very proud woman, sure of herself and her lodge's mission, even though they are viewed suspiciously by the rest of the Forsaken. She sees their approach to the spirit world as sharing the same flaws as much of Western culture and can be very dismissive about it. Attitude aside, she still believes she is doing the right thing and is very sincere in her beliefs. | Takami is a very proud woman, sure of herself and her lodge's mission, even though they are viewed suspiciously by the rest of the Forsaken.

Takami grew up very proud of her culture but upset at the popularized version in vogue. She wanted to know the real stories behind samurai, ninja, and yakuza. Her grandmother fully supported her and she went to Berkeley to major in Japanese history. Shortly after gaining her undergraduate degree, though, she went through her first change. Rather than doing so under the gibbous moon, as seemed to suit her inclinations, she was an irraka. However, she took this as a sign and abandoned her study of history in order to train to become a ninja. She now takes care of patrolling the territory and checking in on the various allies of the pack. | Takami grew up very proud of her culture but upset at the popularized version in vogue.
