5. Were they overprotected as a child? Sheltered?
No, not in the least. Takeshi was able to do things he wanted as long as he was safe, respectful of property, and always home for dinner. His father was the type to believe that only experience can teach a child, so that was exactly what Takeshi did. He experienced by playing outside and having adventures with his friends.
10. Is your character street-smart, book-smart, intelligent, intellectual, slow-witted?
Street-smart definitely. Experience is key to him. Takeshi was never one to read books and get perfect marks on his tests, but he’s intelligent when he puts his mind to it. Mind you, he didn’t study back in school because baseball took up most of his time. However, he’s a quick learner and now takes pleasure in reading whenever he has a chance to both broaden his knowledge and also find a time of peace in his hectic life.
15. Did they graduate? High-School? College? Do they have a PHD? A GED?
He’s a college graduate. He wasn’t going to go to university once he graduated high school, but through Reborn’s demands, he ended up going to university and majoring in both kinesiology and marketing. He ended up completing his bachelor’s degree in both and got his masters in marketing.
20. What were the most deeply impressive political or social, national or international, events that they experienced?
Does he even pay attention to this sort of thing? He suppose he should, seeing as though many occurrences of the world happen due to the mafia, but specifically he doesn’t pay attention to anything unless it’s something to do with tragedies (he’s empathetic) and his work. I guess you can say that the most impressive thing he’s done is changing the future (internationally and socially I guess you could categorize) and helping to stop Tsuna’s future death.
45. Is your character pragmatic? Think first? Responsible? All action? A visionary? Passionate? Quixotic?
He’s more pragmatic than a visionary. he really can’t afford to think unrealistically on things, but he does from time to time have to come up with possible scenarios that seem out of the ordinary due to the work he does. He’s passionate about his family and also baseball, finding a home in both when he doesn’t have anywhere else to go to. If he was all action, he probably would’ve been dead by now, so he thanks himself for being responsible when he needs to be.
