"Of all the times that I agreed with her, bringing him back was not one of them. He wasn't anything significant and it should've been that way."

- Takeyama

Takeyama (竹山, Takeyama) is a character in Angel Beats! A Step Closer who is a security consultant and black-hat hacker, acting as the frontline for the Afterlife Battlefront in cyberspace. He mostly focuses on monitoring local and federal police networks, acting as a liaison for the blackmarket, and ensuring any digital evidence of the battlefront's existence is destroyed. He mostly operates within the cybersecurity center of the battlefront headquarters.

Appearance
In his Afterlife Battlefront civilian uniform, he wears the standard white long-sleeved polo shirt under a sandy brown coat and black slacks. The sandy brown coat holds a velcro Afterlife Battlefront patch on the left shoulder. However, he usually changes out of his uniform whenever he decides to leave the cybersecurity center.

Combat Clothing
Since Takeyama does not engage in any forms of combat, he doesn't wear any form of combat clothing or wear any sorts of equipment on him.

Personality
Takeyama seems to retain his straight forward attitude, but has been recently shown to have compassion even though it isn't visibly shown. If he is at work, he will often avoid talking about things outside of work with the exception of anything relevant. However, he does have a desire for more knowledge that pertains to people. He often asks his close friend Noda about what he does and why he does things, even though he's not a prime example of an extrovert, which is someone he would prefer.
