OVA
Description
Makoto Allen Takamura is a gaunt, elderly figure with immaculate white hair swept back and eyes forever shut. He dresses in a tailored dark suit paired with a crisp white shirt, his katana never far from reach—sometimes doubling as a cane when seated.
A senior member of the Japanese Association of Assassins' Order, an elite guild of unparalleled skill, Takamura features in the one-shot *Garaku* and its anime adaptation, as well as the *Sakamoto Days* series.
His demeanor is icy and reserved, his words often murmured in whispers, his face a mask of impassivity. He hunts those radiating malice or direct danger, his instincts undimmed by age—evidenced when he reflexively bisected a midair fly with his blade.
Despite his frail appearance, Takamura reigns as a lethal assassin. His closed eyes betray no hindrance; his peerless swordsmanship lets him dismantle foes with precision. Each strike radiates devastating range, obliterating all in its wake. His speed transcends human limits, movements blurring into imperceptible slashes—unsheathing and cutting merge into a single motion, the blade seeming only half-drawn. He has sliced bullets fired inches from his body.
Key attributes include his unmatched mastery of the katana, preternatural reflexes, and a chilling silence. He detects hostility like a sixth sense, zeroing in on malign intent. Though ruthless, he allies with allies like Taro Sakamoto to thwart threats such as Tokyo Tower's collapse, revealing a buried streak of loyalty and justice.
