Fan:Takeru "T.K." Takaishi

This article details the relationships between Takeru "T.K." Takaishi and his fellow DigiDestined of Digimon Adventure/Digimon Adventure 02.

Taichi "Tai" Kamiya
T.K. begins to see Tai as an older brother figure in the same way he sees Matt but is unaware of the implications that Matt draws out of this. He sees Tai as a leader to the group.

Yamato "Matt" Ishida
T.K. sees Matt as a role model and follows his actions, looking to him for advice.

In 02 T.K. starts to realize the impact of his parents' divorce and feels that he should see Matt more often.

Sora Takenouchi
Sora is like T.K.'s older sister figure, and T.K. goes to her for anything more motherly.

Mimi Tachikawa
T.K. is interested in why Mimi has her strange quirks and tends to see her in a stereotypical sort of way.

Joe Kido
According to Joe, he was in his wood working class in summer camp, and T.K. nearly cut off one of his fingers my mistake. Joe has risked his own life to save him on at least two occasions.

Hikari "Kari" Kamiya
From they are small is forges a strong link between the two. Both are the same age and their Digimon are designed to act together in all its forms.

In the Takeru's song "Focus", he describes someone who reflects Hikari. He says that without knowing it always is watching her. He wonders if He is the focus of her heart and says wants to protect her.

Davis Motomiya
T.K. is usually amused by Davis's antics. Interestingly T.K. doesn't appear to have any aspirations of leading the group and generally accepts Davis as the nominal leader, even though he doesn't always agree with Davis. However, he frequently steps into the role whenever Davis is absent or beyond reasoning with. Whenever Davis shows himself to be too impulsive or does not show rational thinking, T.K. tends to act like his brother and will try to snap Davis back to his ideals.

Generally, however, T.K. can understand Davis's ideals and is more sympathetic towards him than Matt and Tai are.

Ken Ichijouji
T.K. at first is cold and bitter towards Ken and is disgusted at his ideas of "toying" with darkness; he manages to take Ken down in a stream of insults and logic, and manages to shock him so that he can fight Ken momentarily (even though Ken is a master at judo at that point).

T.K. is still, however, forgiving, and he is the first one after Davis to accept Ken into the group.
