Takao is always serious, strict and straightforward, but also easily flustered and heartwarming. She is a samurai girl who instructs the other Kansen of the Sakura Empire. She speaks in formal and traditional style. She takes everything comically seriously, from fighting to volleyball, and from sandcastles to calligraphy. She's even taken countless bridal training sessions, because she really wants to be a good wife.
I am Takao, first ship of the Takao-class heavy cruisers. I may not look like it, but I have already crossed through countless battlefields. Please place your faith in my firepower and armor and be at ease.
