Takashi Komuro [Zombie Apocalypse.]

Age 17 Height 176.5 cm (5'9.4") Weight 58 kg (128 lbs) Eyes Brown Hair Black Weapons Metal Bat Smith & Wesson M37 Air Weight Crowbar Ithaca M37 Benelli M4 Super 90 Appearance: Takashi is a high school student of average height with brown eyes, spiky black hair which can occasionally have a purple hue (Note: in the anime, his hair can have a brown hue) and a slender yet reasonably powerful build that contributes to his agility. Takashi's attire typically consists of his black school uniform with a red T-shirt underneath. He wears various T-shirts and jeans for short periods of time, but his school uniform remains his primary wardrobe. During the beach OVA he's forced to wear a extremely tight black speedo with boots. History: Takashi has been friends with Saya since they were in Kindergarten. Takashi was best friends with Rei from the time they were both small children. Rei made a promise to marry him when they were children, but, due to Takashi's inability to admit his feelings for her, she turned her attention away from him and towards Hisashi instead. Shortly before the Outbreak, Rei began dating Hisashi, and Takashi, realizing he had waited too long, was sad that Rei chose Hisashi over him. Personality: In the time before the Outbreak, Takashi is laid-back and does not mind skipping class, an attitude that earns him distaste from Saya. His casual nature can also make him hesitant, evidenced by the fact that he did not act on his feelings for Rei until it was too late. His passionate feelings are displayed when he is genuinely depressed by Rei choosing Hisashi over him, especially considering she had promised to marry him when they got older. Takashi is usually kind to the other members of his group, and he does not hesitate to save people who are in serious trouble, such as Alice Maresato when she is attacked by "them".

Rei states that his selflessness is one of the reasons she initially fell for him, and was a reminder that they were still human even after the Outbreak. However, Takashi is also very reckless and often fails to consider the consequences of his actions.

During the initial Outbreak, Takashi fights strictly for survival, but, as time passes, he begins to show a willingness to fight for himself and the group rather than just for the need to survive. Saya has mentioned that he and Kohta are likely to snap if their situation after the Outbreak continues and they have to keep killing things that look like people. Takashi is also shown frequently to be rather perverted, such as when he eavesdrops on the girls taking a bath together, and at one point imagines Rei and Saeko in nothing but bath towels. However, he never shows any attraction to Saya, being completely put off by her abrasive personality. Despite his kindness, Takashi is also a somewhat cold-blooded person; even shortly after the Outbreak, he is able to kill Hisashi, his best friend, with next to no hesitation after he got infected. Although he starts off willing to help those in need, his number one priority is always the survival of him and his team, and won't hesitate to abandon people whose fate have been sealed. He also acknowledges that a part of him actually likes the lawlessness brought about by the Outbreak when he enjoys smashing a cash register at a gas station, and that this makes him not much different from Saeko. At times, he's willing to cross lines even Saeko's not willing to cross; while Saeko couldn't bring herself to kill a pair of zombie children, he did so without any hesitation.

During the group's stay at the Takagi Estate, Takashi is appointed as the leader by Kohta and Saya. However, he initially doesn't understand why, as he doesn't consider himself the leader type and doesn't see how he contributes to the team, being not as good a fighter as Rei, Saeko or Kohta and nowhere near as smart as Saya. Rei, however, speculates that it's because of his willingness to act where others hesitate, such as when he didn't think twice about killing the zombified Hisashi to save Rei. This lack of hesitation can be seen as a by-product of him failing to act on his feelings for Rei until it was too late, which likely caused him to make an unconscious decision to never hesitate again. Shortly before the initial Outbreak at Fujimi Academy, Takashi, who is skipping class, encounters Morita (Who is replaced by Saya in the anime), who is also skipping class, in the hallway. Morita brings up how Takashi's childhood friend, Rei, started dating his friend Hisashi Igou and suggests this as a reason for Takashi skipping class. Takashi denies this, saying that Hisashi is a good guy, and goes to the roof to mope. While on the roof, he remembers when he and Rei were children, and Rei promised to marry him when they were older. He then remembers the beginning of the current school year when he found out Rei was held back, and she was upset with him because he wouldn't understand the reason. Lastly, he thinks about how Rei broke her promise by choosing Hisashi over him. He is brought out of his gloomy state when he sees something happening at the front gate. Takashi witnesses Kyoko Hayashi, Teshima, and two other teachers going to the front gate to confront a strange man. The man is one of "them," and he bites Teshima, who subsequently dies, turns, and bites Kyoko, starting the Outbreak at the school.

Takashi realizes something is wrong and rushes back to his class to ensure Rei's safety. When Rei hesitates to come with him, he attempts to forcefully remove her from the room and slaps her. Hisashi notes the seriousness in Takashi's voice and is able to get Rei to leave with him and Takashi. As the three quickly make their way towards the school's entrance, Takashi explains what he saw at the front gate. Rei is skeptical, but Hisashi believes him and stops at a storage closet to find weapons. Takashi takes the metal bat, then gives his cell phone to Rei, who wants to call the 110 Emergency Line. Rei attempts to call, but after listening to an overload message, she gives the phone back, and they hear a warning message on the school's intercom. The teacher on the intercom is attacked and begs for his life before being killed. Hearing this, the whole school panics, and there is chaos as the students frantically try to escape. He have a long... Takashi and Hisashi decide to change their way of escape and head towards the schools administration building. Their path is blocked by Wakisaka, who has become one of "them." They try to run around him, but he moves toward Rei, backing her into a wall. Takashi tries to distract him, but he continues to approach Rei. After Rei fails to kill Wakisaka, Hisashi attempts to subdue him and is bitten. Takashi is momentarily dumbfounded by Wakisaka's ability to survive, but Rei yells at him to do something, so crushes the teacher’s skull with his bat, releasing Hisashi from his jaws. Hearing more of "them" down below, the injured Hisashi recommends they go to the roof to await rescue; however, when they arrive, they are met by the sight of Tokonosu City, which is burning and embroiled in chaos. A group of Black Hawk helicopters belonging to the S.D.F (Special Defence Force) fly overhead.

Soon after, "they" start to attack on the vista, Souichiro Takagi, Saya's father, orders that they close the gates to the vista at once, but "they" are in too great of a number and burst through the gate. Kohta is soon shown using his gun skill against "them" and the adults are amazed. Souichiro and his men are shown throwing dynamite at "them", which could attract more of Them. Saya's parents are last shown fending for themselves while the gang flees from the crowd of "them". Takashi and the gang flee on the ATV and Saya's parents are glad that they have left and regret nothing. The status of Saya's parents is currently unknown. The gang then tries to flee on the highway, only to be surrounded by "them". Takashi and Saeko devise a plan to meet up within a day while they distract Them. Afterward, Saeko and Takashi drive off to the riverbank to get some rest. Later, Takashi decides to use the ATV's amphibious feature. In the resulting splash when they landed in the water, both Saeko and Takashi get wet. When Takashi turns around to check if Saeko is alright, he is mesmerized by her wet clothing. Saeko and Takashi are soon found on a sandbar in the middle of the river to distract "them," because "they" cannot cross the river. After Saeko changes shirts, Takashi drives the ATV to a nearby park where there is a fountain in the middle. The ATV then continues to go around in a circle in the fountain attracting "them" to it. When it comes to fighting though, Saeko is shown that she does not have the will at the moment to kill two children that have been turned into "them". Takashi rushes over and shoots the children in the head, saving Saeko. Saeko and Takashi flee to a nearby shrine for the time being.
