Keito Takamura (篁 圭人 Takamura Keito) is the younger brother of SolidS' Shiki Takamura. He is a temporary member of Solids during Takamura Shiki Shoushitsu Jiken to replace the missing Shiki.
Appearance
Keito has light brown hair, with a slight purple tint similar to Shiki's towards the tips, and light purple eyes. He is slightly taller than his brother and has pierced ears. He is described as having a slim, athletic build.
In the anime, Keito has light purple hair; not as vivid as the purple of Shiki's hair.
The members of Growth upon meeting Keito remarked that Keito & Shiki looked alike yet different at the same time; however, they did agree that Keito had the same intense eyes as his older brother.[1]
Personality
Keito appears to be quite a kind and relatively gentle young man. He didn't hesitate to pick up and return an item to Mina Okui that she had unknowingly dropped, even though at the time they were complete strangers.
However, he can also be somewhat oblivious, like his elder brother, as he inadvertently ended up following Mina all the way to the TSUKINO TALENT PRODUCTION dorms after returning her item to her. She mistook this for him stalking her, when in reality he was oblivious to the fact he'd been following behind her the whole way from the station and was just incidentally walking to the same location.
He is also, by his own admission, a somewhat proud person. When he entered a graphic design proposal competition he could have name dropped the fact he was Shiki's younger brother, as SolidS were the ambassadors for that particular product; however, he chose not to, as he wanted to compete on his own merit even if that meant not winning.[1]
History
Keito was born in Suwa, Nagano,[2] on March 25. Keito grew up with his older brother, Shiki Takamura,[3] though we currently know relatively little about their relationship.
At one point when they were younger, the two went out stargazing on a hill near their home and saw a shooting star. Shiki immediately took off into the nearby forest to find the stars remnants, resulting in him being missing for several days. Keito appears to have been extremely upset the entire time he was gone, and immediately ran up to Shiki to hug him and sob on him when he eventually returned home with the star he found. During this flashback Keito can be seen referring to Shiki as "onii-chan", whereas as of now he usually only calls him "aniki".[1]
Plot
He currently lives alone in Nagano, where he and Shiki grew up, and works as a designer. He first appears in SolidS' Dear brother drama CD and also appeared as a major character in the fifth S.Q.S play, Takamura Shiki Shoushitsu Jiken.
