Takeru Ohyama has enrolled at Tenbi Academy, a high school that converted from all-girls to co-ed. Hoping to have a life full of ogling pretty girls, he reunites with childhood friend Haruko Amaya, who shows him around school. However, he learns that the school is for students who possess magical and spiritual energies called Elements and who wield crafted weapons known as Makens. The students engage in school sanctioned combat matches that showcase their powers. While his own ability and Maken is not apparent at first, Takeru soon finds himself surrounded by girls, including Inaho Kushiya, an attractive girl who says she's his fiancée, and Kodama Himegami, a popular blonde who says she wants to kill him. He joins the Security Committee (魔導検警機構 madō kenkei kikō?, lit. "anti-evil organization"), also known as Maken-ki, which supports the student council's operations.
Characters:
- Takeru Ohyama
Takeru Ohyama (大山 タケル Ōhyama Takeru?) is the protagonist of Maken-ki! At the beginning of the series, he is a first-year boy who enrolls at Tenbi Academy after having attended an all-boys middle school. He is childhood friends with Haruko Amaya, who trained with him at the dojo, and Inaho Kushiya, who says that she is his fiancee. He ends up sharing his room with the two girls, as well as Kodama Himegami.
Years before the series' present, Takeru's family dojo is challenged by Tesshin Kushiya when Takeru is ten years old. After witnessing the death of Atsuma at the hands of Tesshin, Takeru has resented his father and uncle for not being around to protect them.
As a result, he tends to take the girl's side whenever a girl fights a guy. His abilities originally manifest in extreme situations as in the case where he protects Azuki.When he defends Kodama, he uses Blood Pointer,which is later described as absorbing Element from the people around him through his mouth.Following the battle with the Venus unit, he undergoes extra training with Minori in order to try to control and to increase his powers.Takeru later learns that he is blood related to Kodama's brother and father.
Takeru was one of the three students that Gen's Element Detector, Keronbo, could not initially identify, but a month later, he gets his Maken, Overblow, which causes his target's Maken to overflow with Element and be rendered useless "like a car engine that blows out". However, it can have the opposite effect, and empower the opponent with an evolved Maken if the opponent can perfectly control or contain the surge.
Takeru is voiced by Tomoaki Maeno, and English dubbed by Ian Sinclair.
