Takatoshi is a fairly complacent person, but not to the extent where his grades are bad. He likes to slack off and laze around as much as the next person, but he knows when to get serious and sacrifice time to do his work, especially work for the Student Council, which he seems to be doing most of the time. Despite his laziness, Takatoshi is a smart person. While nowhere near as academically brilliant as his fellow members of the Student Council, he performs well in most subjects when necessary. He especially excels at writing, as he once wrote a short story that brought virtually everyone who read it to tears. This literary talent is often on display whenever the Student Council (or pretty much anyone around him) starts making indecent jokes, or even jokes or remarks in general. In such cases, Takatoshi has a knack for being able to respond with witty wisecracks and retorts with ease. Thanks to frequently being around Shino and Aria, this skill has been exercised to the point where it is simply instinctive. He also helps his sister a lot at home by doing things she requested him to do and finishing it all off brilliantly. He also once helped her study for the entrance exam. Takatoshi is also unfortunately quite dense when it comes to relationships, as he seems genuinely oblivious to the fact at least three girls are romantically interested in him. This aspect of him is well-known enough that Uomi, a girl from a completely different school, nicknamed him 'Flag-Crusher' (i.e. someone who completely botches romantic moments and for being very dense). Despite this, Takatoshi is apparently quite popular with the female students due to his diligent and kind personality
