Loud and carefree, Takemikazuchi has a very dominant personality. His behavior stands in stark contrast to [[Kiun]]'s stern and reserved disposition.

Fitting his reputation as a god versed in combat, he seems to be bored with how peaceful Takamagahara is at present, claiming that he would've liked it if it was under some kind of threat for a change.

Takemikazuchi is a god who existed since the age of myths. He was considered a hero, but his own shinki grew disgruntled at his violent temper. On the day that Takemikazuchi made [[Kiun]] his shinki, his other shinki revolted and waged battle against him until they forced him to reincarnate. The surviving 12 elder shinki kept the fact that Takemikazuchi had reincarnated a secret, and instead hefted the blame for all of the previous incarnation's behavior on the new incarnation. By harnessing this blame, they shamed the new Takemikazuchi out of using his own lightning abilities, which his previous incarnation had used against his shinki. Instead they assigned Kiun as his guidepost, and had Kiun wield lightning in his place. However, Takemikazuchi still learned to wield lightning on his own in secret.

—Takemikazuchi, Chapter 67

Takemikazuchi (タケミカヅチ Takemikazuchi?) is a god of thunder. He is also sometimes identified as a god of swords.

Appearance

Takemikazuchichapter35

Takemikazuchi as part of the Execution Squad.

Takemikazuchi's appearance is that of a relatively young man, somewhere near Daikoku and Yato's ages appearance-wise. He has long, straight dark hair that is usually tied back in a short ponytail with a red braided cord, and two long fringes hanging from above his forehead over his ears.

In preparation for a subjugation, Takemikazuchi is seen wearing combat gear consisting of black pants, boots, gauntlets and a short kimono or possibly kosode with an obi made of what seems to be leopard fur (later altered to be tiger fur[1]). His obi has a sheathed sword attached to it. In this appearance, Takemikazuchi's face is completely obscured by a white Divine Covering, showing only some of his hair.[2]

Outside of battle, he is typically seen wearing kariginu, sashinuki hakama, and zori sandals. This outfit is normally only worn today by Shinto priests or during ceremonies, but was worn as an informal outfit by nobility and courtiers in the Heian and Kamakura Period.[3]

During Kamuhakari, Takemikazuchi wore bukan sokutai, the formal court wear for military officials during the same periods.[4] His past incarnation was seen wearing a ketteki no ho robe (the same kind worn in the Kamuhakari outfit) open over his undergarments.[5]

Personality

Loud and carefree, Takemikazuchi has a very dominant personality. His behavior stands in stark contrast to Kiun's stern and reserved disposition.

Fitting his reputation as a god versed in combat, he seems to be bored with how peaceful Takamagahara is at present, claiming that he would've liked it if it was under some kind of threat for a change.

Takemikazuchi has a strong desire to obtain a blessed regalia, especially after seeing how powerful Kazuma's attack on Kiun was despite him being just an earring.
