Taketa is the cook for Kasumi. In her retinue he is in charge of preparing the food that Kasumi eats, as well as the rest of the people around. Taketa also makes sure there is enough to eat, as well as securing all regular supplies. On the trail, this means he will sometimes spend his days foraging for food and preparing it. Of Kasumi's three followers he is usually most welcomed by the rest of the adventuring party, as he makes their lives much more tolerable too.

Taketa goes on adventure carrying a large number of spices. He is also lively around a campfire, as he likes to tell one of his jokes or large repertoire of stories. He is quite worldly, having seen much of the universe together on tour with Kasumi, and constantly trying new things.
