Takuya Kimura

Appearance
Takuya is a man physically in his late 20s, and stands roughly six feet tall. He has crimson eyesand long black hair that streams about a bit wildly at times. He wears a red band over his head with his bangs emerging over it. Takuya's most distinctive feature is his tattered red cape,held in place over his shoulders and lower face by several buckles. Underneath his cape, Takuya's attire is black with several straps and buckles. Takuya wears a holster for his gun against his right leg, and pointed metallic boots. He also wears a golden gauntlet on his left arm. Takuya has kept this look in all his appearances, with subtle variations. His gauntlet was originally rumored to be a prosthetic claw, but newer information strongly indicates that it is simply metal armor covering a black leather glove.

Personality
Dark and brooding over his past "sins", Takuya carries many burdens and secrets. Despite his cold personality, he is not uncaring: at a point where Kamui admits he thought Takuya was cold and didn't care about the planet, Takuya casually brushes off the remark. He also has a soft spot for Setsuna, referring to her as a beautiful lady when meeting Kamui's allies. He fiercely despises Sariel for his various immoral actions, and it is the promise of meeting him that stirs him to accompany the party. Takuya is reluctant to speak, although when he does he typically has something very important to say. Muramasa has noted that Takuya is naturally a loner, and had he not been a former ally of seireitou and his friends, he probably wouldn't have joined them to fight. Takuya's few appearances had a profound impact each time they occur, and that Setsuna's remark "they're our friends" after Takuya's arrival shows his underlying warmth. He was also noted to be very similar to Kamui, only more mature and older, which influenced his character. With the ambition to walk the path of conquest, he desires to become stronger, (although he is incredibly strong already) even at the expense of others. He believes that struggle is the only way for survival. He repriminds himself for this constantly, and believes he himself is naive. Although Takuya maintains a cool, uncaring exterior, the presence of Asura's constant will to never give up and protect his friends affecting the way he defines power, is proof of his growing compassion. At a very early age, it is clear that Takuya displayed a desire to be different and set apart from others. Takuya also showed no apparent fear of death, considering it a human weakness. He feels no desire or need for human companionship or friendship, and is unable to accept the idea of love or affection for another.

Equipment

 * Zanpakutō Soul Manipulaton: Similar to the spirit Muramasa, Takuya can tame and control the minds of Zanpakuto spirits to command him. Though the limits of this ability is still unknown, it can be infered that only Zanpakuto of deceased Shinigami can be taken over by Takuya. He refers to this ability as "taming". From there, their abilities are for Takuya's use, and their souls are sealed deep within Takuya's soul and mind.

Zanpakutō
Kanna (신도 세계, a world without a god) is the name of Takuya Kimura's Zanpakutō. In its sealed form, it resembles a normal katana. The guard itself is shaped like a raven, with wings spread out, looking as if it was going to fly. The guard of the blade is gold, while the blade is pure silver. The handle itself is a deep red. Takuya normally wears it on his hip, but will wear it on his back if necessary.
