Magical Girl Taiko springs into action!
“Weapon Frieeeeeennndssss~”
Taiko Hinode is an upbeat, hyper-energetic 14-year old schoolgirl with a double life; with a little help from a mysterious magic tome she found at a concert, she transforms at night to fight cultists and monsters, keeping her identity a secret by donning a magical girl uniform. Years of fighting off monsters and cultists have made Taiko an incredibly capable and skilled fighter, both in physical might and magical capability.
Taiko is an orphan, with no real family to speak of, which has made her very self-reliant and independent. Balancing vigilante crimefighting and schoolwork would prove difficult for most, but Taiko takes it in stride. For some time, she’d simply walk into school ludicrously early in the morning after crime-fighting, and sleep on her desk until class started. Thankfully, she’s now lodging with her classmate and fellow adventurer, Ophelia Price.
Despite her seemingly limitless energy and combat skill, Taiko’s weakness is in her bombastically blunt personality. Taiko is emotion-blind, and says whatever’s on her mind, often very loudly, regardless of what situations might arise due to this. On top of that, she’s a terrible liar, often making things appear worse than the truth she attempts to hide as her imagination runs wild.

You all feel very good!
(Thank you @redasatomato for coming to my rescue and doing the colors! <3)
“It’s 8:30 AM, and you have school today!”
Thank you to @redasatomato for this adorable episode art! Really capture’s Taiko’s magical feel!
"I can see you too! I have EYES!"
Here's the theme tune for the Genki "Magical Girl", Taiko Hinode, from Magic Of The Mundane!
I specifically referenced "What! Ropponmatsu!" from the Excel Saga soundtrack to best capture the feel of a somewhat older anime showcasing an upbeat character. More music is coming for MoTM in the near future!
