Most of the information on Takahashi has been classified for his own safety, as well as that of the village, but he is still haunted by what little of his past he can remember. Other than that, he gets along great with the people he calls his friends (Which is almost everyone.)
When the young man now known as Takahashi was 5, his parents - who were
members of an ANBU Hunter-nin team - were bringing back a Bingo Book A-rank
rogue ninja when his mother's mask, damaged during the fight to capture the
felon, broke and exposed her face. Takahashi, too young to realize what the
mask signified, saw his mother and ran to her. She tried to stop him, which gave Rogue-nin a opening to pull and activate a few paper bombs, setting them off for a kamikaze final strike, believing it to be less painful than what would await him at the hands of Morino Ibiki, leader of the ANBU Torture and Interrogation team.
Seeing this and knowing that there was no way to defuse the bombs, his father
flying tackled the prisoner to minimize the explosive burst while Takahashi's mother shielded him. The resulting explosion killed both of his parents and flying metal left a scar over his left eye. The injury, guilt, and post
traumatic stress left Takahashi in a coma from the psychological injury. The Sandaime made a decision to seal the boy's affected experiential memory - which ended up rendering him a blank slate - and renamed him Takahashi. However, there are signs that
the seal was not fully effective: Takahashi has displayed a vivid distaste for explosives (of any type) as well as the occasional nightmarish recollection of the death of his parents (although he continuously expresses confusion at this as he doesn't recognize them and wonders why he has visions of these people dying.)
Takahashi is normally very quiet but if you mess with his friends, he will step in. He fights only when he's extremely angry at a person, but typically only gets riled if the other committed some kind of unforgivable act. When he gets too angry, he falls into a semi-aware state and acts on pure instinct that prevents him from recognizing friend from foe - he sees threats and non-threats only. When in this state, only one person can calm him down, the girl he cares the most about: Ino Yamanaka.
Takahashi rarely uses standard ninja tools, typically relying on fists, jutsu, or the Sansetsukon (three-section staff) that he carries. When forced, he will utilize standard tools and carries 10 Kunai, 15 Shuriken, razor wire, throwing spikes and Food Pills (although he rarely needs to utilize them.)
Takahashi is always accompanied a panter cub, named Kyouran, that possesses human-like intelligence and has partnered with Takahashi much the same as the Inuzaka clan's canines. Every weekend, the duo will retreat into the forest surrounding the village for wilderness survival and training exercises with the "pack" of panthers (an unusual occurrence for a species that are normally solo hunters) that Kyouran comes from.
