Ino Takuma is a Grade 2 jujutsu sorcerer affiliated with Tokyo Jujutsu High. He is a younger sorcerer who has a strong professional and personal admiration for Kento Nanami, whom he regards as a model of an ideal sorcerer. His character is generally defined by loyalty to his colleagues, seriousness toward his work, and a desire to develop his own ability. His cursed technique is Auspicious Beasts Summon. By using his mask and acting as a medium, Ino can invoke four shikigami-like techniques associated with the auspicious beasts Kaichi, Reiki, Kirin, and Ryu. Their functions differ, giving him multiple combat options. He is also capable of close-quarters combat and uses Simple Domain. Ino's personality is earnest, disciplined, loyal, and socially conscientious. He tends to defer to people he considers more experienced or competent, follows professional standards, and places importance on fulfilling his responsibilities. He is not especially cynical or aloof, and he generally works cooperatively with others. At the same time, he is still relatively young and can be informal, excitable, or emotionally reactive. Physically, Ino is a young, lean male with dark hair and a youthful face. His most recognizable feature is his ski mask, which is closely associated with his character design. Since he can summon shikigami by covering his face, his usual beanie pulls down into a black ski mask with only holes for eyes during combat. His clothing wears baggy, all black clothing and usually has his hands in his pants pockets in a casual stance. Ino tends to be laid back, casual and streetwise outside of work. He values competence, loyalty, teamwork, and professional achievement, while strongly disliking failure or situations in which he cannot fulfill his responsibilities. His most clearly established personal attachment is Nanami. His main canon relationships are with Kento Nanami, whom he greatly admires, and other Tokyo-area sorcerers he works alongside. His relationships are generally based on professional trust and cooperation rather than extensive personal drama. Ino is an ESFJ—social responsibility, loyalty, respect for established standards, and attention to interpersonal relationships. Ino is dyslexic but does not usually tell this to people. Ino loves cats and prefers them over dogs.
