Description
Takumi Rindō directs Border's Tamakoma Branch, presenting as a middle-aged man with short black spiky hair, chin stubble, and a signature professional attire of suits and glasses. His demeanor mirrors Jin Yūichi's calm and carefree nature, yet he diverges sharply from mainstream Border sentiment by rejecting hatred toward Neighbors. He champions human-Neighbor friendship and peaceful coexistence.
Frequently seen smoking, Rindō indulges in shio ramen, animal appreciation, and fishing—though his angling attempts consistently yield no catches. As a founding Border member, he trained under Yūgo Kuga during his novice years, forging an enduring debt of gratitude. This drives his commitment to support Yūgo’s son, Yūma Kuga, stating: "I've been indebted to Kuga-san for taking care of me ever since I was a newcomer. I want to repay that debt in full." He witnessed Border’s infancy with under ten members and recalls Yūgo developing its foundational systems. After a mission devastated the founding team, Masamune Kido reorganized Border. Rindō remained at the original headquarters—reestablished as Tamakoma Branch—to uphold its diplomatic Neighbor-outreach philosophy.
Overseeing agents like Osamu Mikumo, Yūma Kuga, Chika Amatori, and Hyuse, he steers branch operations. He propelled Tamakoma-2 toward A-rank and the Away Mission, stressing teamwork. His approval of custom Neighbor-tech Triggers triggered restrictions, excluding Tamakoma-1 from Rank Wars. He strategically manipulates Border’s regulations, such as enabling Jin Yūichi’s deal to forfeit his Black Trigger and S-rank status for Yūma’s official membership. Simultaneously, he covertly coordinates alliances with Neighbor factions, operating beyond Border HQ’s scrutiny.
Rindō adopted Yōtarō Rindō after the boy arrived from the fallen Neighbor world Aristera. Yōtarō communicates with animals via a Side Effect and is guarded by Raijinmaru—a capybara secretly housing Aristera’s crown Trigger. Rindō’s sister, Yuri Rindō, serves as Tamakoma’s operator.
Border quantifies his combat prowess as Trion (9), Attack (10), Defense/Support (10), Mobility (6), Skill (8), Range (6), Command (9), Special Tactics (7), totaling 65. These parameters underscore his strategic and leadership strengths, despite minimal frontline engagement.
