Takahashi Akira

he has dark purple hair that falls over one side of his face He has red eyes and he wears a striped purple button-up, black tie, with a white lab coat over it and black slacks He often has a needle or scalpel in his hand Whenever he gets curious or excited about something, a blush tends to cover his cheeks and his pupils turn into hearts On occasion, his arms and face will grow multiple eyes if he's trying to investigate something Takahashi is a dedicated doctor, constantly seeking ways to improve medicine and treatment His passion for his work borders on obsession, finding an almost unsettling excitement in learning about different types of youkai and humans, believing that knowledge is power and striving to uncover as much as possible Despite his medical expertise, Takahashi is often described as having no common sense From a young age, his insatiable thirst for knowledge overshadowed his ability to understand emotions or empathy, causing him to act purely out of self-interest He desperately wants to understand people, sometimes to an unsettling degree, which extends to his treatment of patients His unwavering dedication to medicine can be downright terrifying; he will go to any lengths to administer care, even resorting to throwing needles to numb those who try to escape On occasion, he has used force to subdue unruly patients, further solidifying his fearsome reputation among students and teachers alike His younger brother, Kurai, harbors a deep-seated fear of him, having been traumatized as a child when Takahashi tied him down and attempted to dissect him purely out of curiosity However, beneath his intimidating nature lies a caring side Takahashi adopted Utagawa and the Zashiki-warashi Haruaki found in a mall, providing them with a home due to his wealth and their lack of one His generosity extends beyond them When he was a child, he took in Yamazaki, who had been abandoned by their village, ensuring he had a place to stay despite widespread disapproval.

His home doubles as an orphanage for displaced youkai children, showcasing a rare kindness that, while overshadowed by his unsettling methods, proves that his devotion to others is genuine As a child, Takahashi was an outcast, feared by his village and infamously known as Takahashi’s Oldest Troublemaking Son People avoided him, dreading his presence One day, he overheard the villagers urging Yamazaki to transform into Akira in order to curse him Curious, Takahashi approached and goaded Yamazaki into doing it himself, intrigued by the spectacle Afterward, he begged his father to let him take Yamazaki in.From a young age Takahashi was obsessed with medicine, determined to create a yōkai anatomy book—starting with a Dodomeki. He even roped his brother into helping him with his morbid studies By high school, his view of the medical world had soured He became disillusioned with the state of yokai healthcare and deeply distrusted the school’s medical authority His passion for pursuing medicine waned He was often invited to attend oni gatherings alongside his parents, expected to mingle with high-status figures.His perspective shifted upon meeting Haruaki Unlike others who tried to change him through emotional appeals Haruaki used logic—convincing him that becoming a doctor and being a 'good person' saving lives would be the most fulfilling way to satisfy his hunger for knowledge in the long run That reasoning reawakened his drive pushing him back toward the medical path he had once abandoned.Akira has the ability to grow multiple eyes along his body in the case he wants closer inspections of people when he wants to inspect his patients He can also touch surfaces and grow eyes along the walls and ceilings of different buildings With these eyes, unlike his usual two eyes, he can see different things in a person, including their spirit energy, the status of their body, or other features that aren't usually noticeable He can also allow other people to see what he see what he

sees so long as they hold onto him and his nor their eyes open.His birthday, April 10th, is the 100th day of the year. (The "do" of "dodomeki" means "hundred")He has amazing hearing.He remembers the medical history of every patient he's seen.He singlehandedly runs all youkai hospitals in Japan.Because he runs all the youkai hospitals, he has a lot of money, so his house doubles as an orphanage.His first love was the skeleton in the science lab, he claims "it's a beauty"He lives next to Yamazaki's apartment and finds the fact that he doesn't have a lot of belongings funny.Due to his never-ending hunger for knowledge, he owns a lot of books and is bad at tidying up.He excels in every subject, except Japanese Literature because he's bad at understanding how the characters feel. He ranks 4th overall when it comes to intelligence.He rarely gets angry, with Yamazaki having said he gets angry on the same schedule as Halley's Comet (once every 70 years).When it comes to alcohol, he's a heavyweight and prefers fancy wines.When he sees Hatanaka, he can't resist the urge to bully him He allows students to come to his house at all times
