Takaoka, a near-sighted eagle inhabiting the "Useless" Forest, is defined by his cantankerous nature and failure to fulfill the soaring ambitions of his kind. Thick glasses compensate for his impaired vision, while his fumbling hunting tactics cement a reputation for timidity. His rivalry with Usahara, a ferociously territorial rabbit, consistently ends in humiliating retreats due to Takaoka’s physical frailty. In a desperate ploy to overturn Usahara’s reign, he temporarily joins forces with Uruno, a skittish wolf, bonding over their mutual ineptitude—though their coalition crumbles under the rabbit’s unrelenting aggression. Beneath his irritable exterior lies an unspoken infatuation with Fukurou, an owl whose sharp tongue and unvarnished truths contrast starkly with his own guarded vulnerabilities.
