Abilities: Physically speaking he is a normal human in all senses of the word. His hobby of exploring abandoned places has made him more aware of small details like holes in which he could get through or signs of someone​ having been there recently, it has also made him a great runner as he had to run away from the occasional guard patrolling the area or a hobo mistake him for a thief.

Equipment: A video camera and a lantern

Personality: Fear and shame doesn't exist in Takeshi's vocabulary, as he is ready to go to extreme lengths to accomplish his objectives. He tends to overthink simple situations and makes complicated plans and theories of it. Takeshi has the problem of being too honest on what he is doing, which has caused him to be chased out of many shops and abandoned buildings when he told the owner or guards he was looking for ghosts. 

History: Since he supposedly saw the ghost of his great grandfather when he was five years old Takeshi took an interest to the supernatural, at first asking his mother to tell him the ghost stories his grandmother used to tell her do that she behaved, then he started searching for them, on his backyard, on his way to school, his grandmother house, inside his parents car, etc. Finding nothing Takeshi thought that maybe the problem was not if he was searching enough but instead where he was looking, maybe youkai were afraid of people and lived in places far away from them?.  

While the idea had some weight on his might his age at the moment (14 years old) meant that even trying to explore the forest alone to “look for youkai” would be met with an instant no from his mother much less would she let him explore one of the old buildings in there . Little by little  he went expanding his limits on his curfew, joining the track and field club at school to not get tired after five minutes of running, saved his money to buy a lantern, batteries and a cheap video camera, and decided to go explore the old school building, since it was the nearest to his school (for obvious reasons) and no one bothered about putting locks on it, since there was nothing of value there.  

After a year of planning Takeshi went to explore the old school building, having a good three hours before his mom would begin to question where he was; entering through the front door after checking no one was looking, Takeshi began his search. Using the night vision of the videocamera and the lantern Takeshi searched for any supernatural creature that could be there. The search for any tsukumogami was a fruitless as there wasn't much that wasn't starting it rot, the supposed piano that played by itself had more than half of it's keys broken or missing so unless there was a ghostly piano hiding somewhere in there there was no way that piano could play by itself or with someone, lastly saying “Sadako-chan come here” three times in the girl bathroom of the second floor only created awkward silence.

All in all the expedition proved to be a massive disappointment, ready to admit defeat and return home, Takeshi ran to the stairs leading to the first floor. Unluckily for him, the old wooden floor couldn't resist more weight and collapsed where he had stepped in. Grabbing the edge of where the floor had collapsed, Takeshi began to wonder how was he going to get out of this without any major injuries, his nails were already bleeding from the force he was using to keep him from falling, and they were already starting to give up. 

As soon as he knew he couldn't resist more, Takeshi closed his eyes and let go, hoping that somebody would notice he was there. As his hands gave up and released their grip on the edge, something grabbed them pulling Takeshi back into the second floor without​ much trouble. Takeshi to this day what saves him that day as he didn't saw it that day or the many others that he went there. While some people would be discouraged from exploring again after that, it brought the opposite emotion on him, after all of that encounter made him meet a ghost for a second time so he was heading in the right direction, though now he is more careful of where he steps on since there won't always be a ghost to save you.
