Takashi is Takuya's older cousin who was kind enough to let Takuya stay at his apartment. He's in charge of running his family's cake shop, called "Sakuragi" by his family name. The cake shop is very successful, mostly because many female fans of Takashi's frequent the establishment. Despite all this adoration, Takashi remains devoted to his wife Silk.
