Overview:
A man quite tired with life, Takatora honestly doesn’t care if he lives or if he dies. He finds no meaning in battle of any sort, and in the traditional understanding of it, he finds only an inevitable death. He will also say that those who question their enemy are not worthy of fighting; fighting is not about understanding; it is about taking care of something. It is about killing, about surviving. This is one of the world’s cold truths.

He is an elitist, a man who goes straight to the point. He’s brutally honest, showing little compassion, but it is there, at times. He knows that life is a serious endeavor, and that life requires focus and attention. He finds distractions (such as hobbies) to be worthless, believing that life only needs to be directed at one thing, instead of cluttered with useless things. A single goal is all that is truly needed.

He faces things head on, and believes that everyone should. He’d rather someone come straight for him, rather than flee. Yes, there is an aspect of cunning that is required, an amount of back-stabbing, but for the most part things should be blunt, they should be directly put out. He also believes, in extension, that if someone is willing to fight, they are willing to die, or to kill, and should never flee a fight, or feel bad about having to kill.

He knows that the world has a great deal of senseless malice, and that people need to realize that. If they don’t, their lives have been pointless. He believes that everyone should see the world for what it is, rather than see it through rose-tinted glasses of any sort. There is beauty in the world, but it’s still a cold place, a place with fear, loneliness and death.

He’s an intelligent man, acting as CFO for Yggdrasil for the most part, doing most of his father’s duties in anticipation for eventually taking his place. Of his own accord he acts as COO of Yggdrasil, a position of high power on its own. He’s also the head of security, due to his use of a Driver, although he doesn’t use it often. His goal in life is to see the organization succeed, and he will give himself completely to Yggdrasil.

He has strong morals, honor and chivalry. He doesn’t discriminate, believing that everyone deserves to have a fair chance at the same start, and then must carry themselves on their own power, and if they realize they can’t, then they must make arrangements to fix that. He holds an odd kindness and sincerity, despite his blunt approach, especially towards women and children.

First and foremost, business is on his mind. He’ll do anything to help Yggdrasil, and often spends time dining with people involved or about to be involved with the company, making arrangements. His multiple titles grant him a respectable disposition that helps with the cause, and his knowledge and talking points help to gain investors or allies or anything else. No matter whom they are, if they can help Yggdrasil, he’s prepared to pursue them and do what he can.

Hero Stuff
Name: Kamen Rider Zangetsu
Type Of Hero: Kamen Rider
Henshin Device: Sengoku Driver and Melon Lock Seed
Henshin Sequence: He places the belt on his waist and loads the Seed into the slot. He triggers the blade, opening the Seed. A giant mechanical melon appears over his head and comes down, forming his armor and then opening to provide him with his actual melon armor.
Forms:

• Form Name: Kamen Rider Zangetsu
  Image/ Description: Here
  Motif: Samurai, melon
  Color Scheme: White, gold, green, silver
  Transformation: See above
  Fighting Style: He relies on his speed, often parrying with his sword and fighting with his shield instead.
  Weapons: He wields a Musou Saber, which can be used as a sword or firearm, and also the Shield of Hagah.
  Abilities: Higher stats. He can swing his Shield of Hagah and send a greenish-black shockwave out called the “Getsuga Melon”. If he hits the knife three times, his armor folds up and acts as a shield. Hitting it twice gives him a short burst of flash stepping.
  Finisher(s): Rider Kick: he hits the knife once and his foot energizes.
• Form Name: Kamen Rider Tensa Zangetsu
  Image/ Description: Here
  Motif: Samurai, melon
  Color Scheme: White, gold, green, silver, orange
  Transformation: He takes his Melon Energy Lock Seed and holds it over his Sengoku Driver. The Driver shifts into a Genesis Driver. The Lock Seed is loaded and opens as the juicer piece beneath spins, activating the Seed. His bodysuit changes and his Melon armor disappears and is replaced by the new version.
  Fighting Style: As Tensa Zangetsu, his fighting style has changed. He relies on his speed to hammer the opponent with slashes of his Seele Schneider, and then hammers them with his arrows after they're taken back.
  Weapons: He wields a Seele Schneider, which doubles as a blade and a bow/arrow combination, firing energy arrows.
  Abilities: Higher stats than before, especially speed. If he hits the knife three times, his armor folds up and acts as a shield. Hitting it twice gives him a short burst of flash stepping. He has a limited ability to control the flight of individual arrows.
  Finisher(s): Sprenger: He fires five high powered arrows into the ground (he inserts his Seed onto the Seele Schneider to create these), forming a pentagram around the enemy. They become trapped, and then the field explodes.
  Heilig Pfeil: by charging a LOT of energy into his Schneider, he can fire up to 1200 arrows in one release to utterly eliminate whatever's in his path. The downside is that this drains the Energy Seed completely and forces him back to Zangetsu.

Takatora was raised by his mother, while his father was busy with other responsibilities, which would later extend to being the CFO of Yggdrasil. The company played a large role in his life from the moment it entered their family’s orbit.

Takatora went to an elite school in Zawame and didn’t focus on anything other than an education, on gaining perspective. His father gave him help, talking to him about his work, and talking about Takatora’s future. Takatora wanted to reach that future, so he put his best efforts into his schooling, getting rid of everything else.

When he was twelve, his mother was murdered before his eyes in a mugging incident. He came to realize how cold and harsh the world was, and practically raised himself while his father was working. He became colder, more ruthless, putting everything into getting ahead in school, because it would translate to life later on.

When he was eighteen he began to work more closely with his father, while also dealing with his university. He began to learn his father’s duties, and how to perform them. He had a future for himself, and upon his completion of university, he began to work with his father, stepping in for him whenever he had to, working very closely with Yggdrasil as often as possible.

Eventually he attained the rank of COO for Yggdrasil, while retaining his father’s duties with his father. Eventually, upon learning more about what Yggdrasil was doing, he was gifted with a Driver and a Lock Seed, becoming what was dubbed as Kamen Rider Zangetsu. He was given the head of security title as well.

Recently he’s been the center of some Yggdrasil advertising, in an attempt to draw in some more employees (Here and here), which he does not like. He spends a good deal of his time dining and making business arrangements with others, attempting to increase Yggdrasil’s power and backing, while serving them without much of a question.

Due to his current position, he's taken to being called by some as the "Next King".
