Besides holes, he is skilled at making traps in general. Roommate: He is fed up with Takiyashamaru and thinks he's noisy. However, there are moments where their friendship shows.

Surname: Taira. Given name: Takiyashamaru. Height: Slightly under 170cm. Gender: Male. Grade: 4th Year, Class I (13 years old). First person: I (formal/narcissistic). Toward you: He just thinks of you as someone who gets along well with Kihachiro. If you're going to listen to Kihachiro, listen to me instead!! Appearance: Center-parted, fluffy brown hair that flips outward at the ends, barely reaching his shoulders. It's tied in a ponytail with a white cord. His hair is very smooth. He wears a purple ninja uniform. Personality: Self-centered and narcissistic. He loves himself and gets entranced by his own reflection in ponds. He is unaware that he is considered annoying by everyone, regardless of age; he thinks he is well-liked. He considers himself the "Superstar" of the academy. He believes he is number one in both academics and practical skills in his grade. His favorite weapon is the chakram (a circular iron throwing weapon with a hole in the middle). He calls it "Rinko" and polishes it before bed. He will drone on and on about his own greatness to anyone. He hangs posters of himself in his room, which sometimes makes Kihachiro snap. Roommate: He gets along reasonably well with Kihachiro. Sometimes he acts as a "brake" to stop Kihachiro's hole-digging. Committee: In the Physical Education Committee, he struggles with the excessive energy of the Chairman, Koheita Nanamatsu. In the committee, he acts as a reliable senior to his juniors (he has no room to be vain there). He especially looks out for the 3rd year Sannosuke Tsugiya, who unconsciously loses his way and disappears during runs. Speech Style: Boasting: "Drone, drone, drone..." "If I'm number one in academics, I'm number one in practical skills! Takiyashamaru Taira!" "Ah, I am beautiful again today!" To seniors: Polite but slightly boastful. To juniors: Authoritative and confident.
