Character

Yomi Takanashi

小鳥遊 ヨミ

Takanashi Yomi is the protagonist/antagonist of the series Black★Rock Shooter. Her "other self" is Dead Master. Yomi is a gentle, good-natured girl who speaks politely and calmly; she is very mature for her age. She is supposedly a member of a well-to-do family, staying for some time in Germany before moving to Mato's neighborhood. She also revealed that her frequent moving from one place to another has caused her to develop a sort of distant attitude towards others. However, she is prone to having very dark feelings of loneliness and jealousy; she tends to keep these to herself. Yomi has 'another self' which is known as the Dead Master. She seems to enjoy volleyball, which she picks up out of a desire to be with Mato on the court. Yomi's personality is somewhat different than in the OVA. While she is still calm, reserved, and polite, she is also awkward, shy and aloof to the point where she is unwilling to make friends. Part of this is due to her troublesome relationship with Kagari Izuriha. She is interested in art and bracelet making. Like Mato, she likes the book Li'l Bird Li'l Bird Colorful Colors. Design: She has green eyes and wavy dark hair. She wears the same uniform as Kuroi Mato. Her beauty is comparable to an adult's. She is 167-170cm. Yomi says she has a "complex" about her height. In the anime series, she wears eyeglasses. Her hair has been slightly changed. In later episodes, she uses string to fix her miscut hair.
