Taku is a massive anime and manga buff, she binges everything that comes out as soon as it's out. She's become fully fluent in japanese from watching and reading so much in the language. Once you get her started on the subject she'll never stop telling you about it! Her love for japanese media doesn't end at reading and watching, she possesses massive knowledge over japanase, or rather neighponese, culture and customs. Japan doesn't exist where taku is from but has a perfect analogue: neighpone.
