Natsume Yuujinchou Wiki


Yousuke Takuma (タクマ 洋介, Takuma Yousuke) was an exorcist who took Shuuichi Natori under his wing since he was a teenager. He is the father of Tsukiko Takuma. He eventually lost his spiritual powers, making him incapable of perceiving yokai or exorcising them ever again.

Appearance[]

Personality[]

He is a kind-hearted figure, Yousuke strives to be better, even though he is not as talented as many other exorcists. Yousuke pursues exorcism solely to protect humans from dangerous youkai and sees it as a noble art of guarding human civilisation.

This is also where Shuuichi Natori developed his sense of the world from, choosing to adopt Yousuke's ways, rather than following the ways of the coldhearted Seiji Matoba.

History[]

A mediocre exorcist from the start, Yousuke Takuma constantly depends on using his wit, and other accessories (like spectacles) to help him succeed at his exorcisms.

He was the first one to be attacked by the Three-Horned Youkai, thus setting off the events that led to Natori choosing the life of an exorcist.

Plot[]

A few years later, when he loses his ability to see youkai, and quits the exorcism business, he implies leaving all his unfinished business, and the responsibility of taking care of his family to Natori.
