(sorry for extra responses; just getting info out there)

^ if you can't access the first link to the 3rd novel for some reason, as I had this issue just now despite accessing it a bit ago today.

- Takeru's Adventure profile states "2nd grader in Kawada elementary school", but no exact age, so it's understandable if that can't be mentioned here. However, his profile later states, "When Hikari, who is the same age as him, joins their group," along with the following; - Takeru's 02 profile states "The boy who moves in Spring 2002 from Sangenjaya to an apartment in Odaiba (the same one as Inoue and Hida families). The form of Takeru three years later, since his adventures as a Chosen Child in 1999. His elementary school is the same as Daisuke and the others, Odaiba elementary school, Class 5-A." (Since there were issues referring to Takeru's info before.) - Keeping in mind a Tri interview confirmed Hikari to be "older" than Takeru as well, this would imply them to be the same chronological age, but with Hikari slightly "older". This is also confirmed by their Tri ages being officially the same despite this; "14". - All of these are official statements so it doesn't really make sense to say they can't be referred to at least somewhere on the Wiki. - Hikari is confirmed 8 in Adventure so all of this information would be "official statements" pointing to Takeru being 8 as well, without it really being "speculation".

Thus, again, it doesn't really make sense to not mention this information somewhere. references and notes can give clarification on the matter by mentioning statements from any books, etc. as needed (while keeping in mind the novels are technically a separate continuity, if with numerous similarities between the two versions).
