Physical Description of Character: Takeru has a short, kind of messy blond hair that usually isn't visible fully since he tend to cover it with his bucket hat. He wears a long sleeved T-shirt with the dominant color of yellow and green. In the leg parts, he cover it with teal shorts and green sneakers. Face-wise, he have an intoxicating blue eyes that could attract girls in one good glance.
Point in Canon: Post season 2, before the 20 years epilogue.
Personality: Takeru is no longer the bright-eyed, hopeful, little child. He hides his true self behind a false smile and a fisherman's hat. He is now wise enough to understand what is going on around him. Takeru also habors emotional scars from watching Patamon die at the hands of Devimon. So when the Kaiser trys to manipulate the forces of evil, Takeru snaps and physically attacks him. Takeru also shows his hatred of darkness during the Black WarGreymon story arc. This side of Takeru is almost never shown and this violent form even scares Iori, who is almost always calm and fearless.
His parents' divorce has also now visually taken an effect on him. While not as serious as it did Yamato, the damage was still done. As Belial Vamdemon showed, one of Takeru's greatest desires is that his mother and father remarry. He feels like they aren't a family, like Ishida-san isn't really his father, like Yamato isn't his brother. However, Takeru was lucky, feelings like this are the least of what most children of divorced parents feel. Suicide is the other extreme; Yamato's condition was a mid-level effect.
Takeru always keeps his promises, even ones that were made years ago. During the fight with Piedmon, Sora made Takeru promise to protect Hikari. 3 years later, this promise is still the driving force of Takeru's life. When Hikari is taken by Dagomon, Takeru goes nuts and desperately searches for her. Later, after he rescues her, Hikari, Miyako, and Ken are pulled into the World of Darkness. Once again, Takeru loses his mind over the his failure to protect Hikari. However, it's not only because of his promise, he also harbors a feeling for her. This is one of Takeru's most painful dilemmas. Should he confess to her? Hikari's friendship means a lot to him, however, he loves her more than a friend. That is his hardest choice, it's a very risky gamble.
History of the Character: Takeru grew a lot during the years after his first adventure. He is 11 (5th grade).On his first day of school, Takeru met Inoue Miyako and Hida Iori, his new neighbors. He also started attending Odaiba Elementary, and quickly found out that he was in the same class as his old friend Hikari, as well as goggleboy Motomiya Daisuke. Because he and Hikari were already good friends, a paranoid Daisuke immediately pegged him as a rival for Hikari's affections. Soon, he found out that he, along with Hikari, Daisuke, Miyako and Iori, were chosen to fight an evil human child called the Digimon Kaiser, who was taking over vast parts of the Digital World. Before long, his old Digivice was modified into the new D-3 and he received the Digimental of Hope, which allowed Patamon to evolve into Pegasusmon. Takeru had a slight advantage compared to the new kids because he has had the most experience with Digimon.
After some time fighting the Digimon Kaiser, Hikari fell victim to the influence of the World of Darkness, and was taken there from the Real World. Deeply concerned, Takeru, Patamon and Tailmon found their way to the World of Darkness and helped Hikari destroy a Dark Tower and escape the creatures of darkness that brought her there, who had wanted Hikari to bear the children of their master, Dagomon.
When the Chosen Children went to camp in the Digital World to defeat the Digimon Kaiser once and for all, Takeru and Iori managed to infiltrate the Kaiser's base. While they were in the base, the Kaiser managed to extract the essence of Devimon from the darkness and take his data for his artificial beast, Chimeramon. Once Takeru realized what the Kaiser was doing, he was deeply angered. He proceeded to locate the Kaiser, antagonize him and engage in a fistfight with him.
After Paildramon and Silphymon debuted, Iori realized that Takeru would be his Jogress (Joint-Progress) partner eventually. Iori remembered that incident with the Kaiser, and noticed that Takeru was as uncharacteristically violent and angry where Black War Greymon was involved. Desperate to understand Takeru's attitude towards evil, he turned to Yamato, who told him about Angemon's death, which had affected Takeru more than anyone had realized. This was all Iori needed for Ankylomon and Angemon to Jogress into Shakkoumon.
On Christmas Eve, Takeru went to Ken's Christmas party with the rest of the younger Chosen, although it ended abruptly as they had to send rampaging Digimon back to the Digital World and destroy a Dark Tower. The next day, the Chosen Children found out that Digital Gates were open in the entire world. Qinglongmon gave the Chosen Children one of his Digicores to help power up the Digimon, and Takeru went with Taichi to Paris to help the French Chosen Children round up the wild Digimon who had appeared in the Real World.
Back in Japan, the children had to fend off the Daemon Corps, a group of evil Digimon led by Demon, as well as Arukenimon, Mummymon and their boss, the human Oikawa Yukio. He and the other children helped Ken open a gate to the World of Darkness and banished Demon through the gate. However, Oikawa managed to run away. In his wake, he left twenty children, who had Dark Seeds sown into their necks.
Takeru and the others followed the seeded children for the following days, facing Oikawa several times. On December 31st, they followed Oikawa and the children to the world of dreams, where it was revealed that Oikawa Yukio was possessed by the spirit of Belial Vamdemon / MaloMyotismon, who absorbed the power of the Dark Seeds in the seeded children's necks to gain a corporeal form. He killed Arukenimon and Mummymon, which shocked and frightened Takeru and the others. When Daisuke and Ex-veemon started fighting back, Belial Vamdemon subjected the children to an illusion, showing their greatest desire. Takeru's desire was for his family to be together again, but it was broken by Patamon's explanation that it wasn't real, and Daisuke appeared to take him back to the other kids. When everyone's illusions were broken, Takeru used the power of the dream dimension against Belial Vamdemon, with Angemon, Holy Angemon, Pegasmon and Shakkoumon appearing all at once to fight Belial Vamdemon. After Belial Vamdemon escaped to the Digital World, the light from his D-3 helped weaken Belial Vamdemon and power up Imperialdramon Fighter Mode's Giga Death cannon.

Personal LJ Sample:
[There was a loud crash, as a Takeru planted his face on the cold road. He just climbed one tree to get a better view around this unknown place, when his feet slipped over nothing]
Ouch...
[Standing on his feet and rubbing his poor face, he reviewed the scenery around him once again. No familiar building or people. He sighed in defeat.]
Okay Takeru... Don't lose hope, you've had worse before.
[Determined to find out, he walked to the nearest building he saw, an apartment.]
Third-Person Sample:
"The landlady gave me this parcel from your father when I went to collect the keys," Nancy Takaishi said to her youngest son, an exasperated note in her voice, "He has never had any sense of timing. He must know our apartment is piled up to the ceiling with boxes, yet he sends us another one. I don't understand why he just didn't give it to you this weekend when you're going to see him anyway."
Making a noncommittal sound, Takeru took the package from her. He knew better than to enter into a discussion with his mother when she was in this sort of mood. Her cheeks were flushed with annoyance and with the heat of the midday sun, ironically making her seem younger and prettier than usual. Her jaw was set in the expression that had caused more than one interviewee to swallow his tongue. Her back and shoulders were arched for confrontation, like those of an angry cat. Her blue eyes dared him to reply, to defend his father, to provoke her into the fight for which she was spoiling. Yes, he decided, it could only end with him being grounded for a year. Wisdom dictated that he beat a hasty retreat.
"I'll go open it in my room, mom," he replied, "I need to unpack the rest of the stuff in my boxes anyway."
With no small relief, he hurried down the hallway into his new bedroom. The movers had brought in his bed and desk that morning, which meant that he would be spending the night in his new apartment. When he was going to be able to do more than sleep in his room was another matter entirely. Brown boxes, all marked in his mother's neat handwriting, lined the walls. Considering they contained the previous six years of his life, he was surprised by how few they were. In them were his clothes, his toys, his books, his CDs, everything that he had managed to gather since he had left Odaiba with his mother.
Setting the package down on the desk to open it, he glanced at the one item that he had made a special point of unpacking first. It was a photo of a group of children. He smiled as he saw his younger self standing next to Hikari Yagami. The eighth child. The bearer of the crest of Light. His best friend. They had not seen each other for four years, bar one or two visits to the Digital World, but they had kept in touch via e-mail. Now that he had moved back to Odaiba, it would be strange to see her face-to-face again, especially if she had changed as much as he had.
