Takeru Shinoyama

Takeru Shinoyama (四乃山尊 Shinoyama Takeru) is Rozan Shinoyama's eldest grandson, the president of Shinoyama Security, and the employer of an elite team known as Dragon King's Palace Agency.

Appearance
Takeru has light brown hair, brown eyes, and wears half-rimmed glasses. He wears business suits for work; when at home, he wears tasteful casual attire.

Personality
At a mere twenty-six years of age, Takeru is a formidable businessman who wields immense power in the shadier side of the Shinoyama Group's operations and often directly takes care of potential scandals and other threats. He conducts himself with polite poise when in public company, his firm way of speaking attesting to his confidence and competence alike.

Behind this firm exterior lurks ambition and a callousness that ensures he will do what is necessary to achieve those ambitions. Not one to suffer fools lightly, Takeru will protect the Shinoyama name from all who would dare infringe upon it - including family members themselves. However, the shadier actions he sanctions are not just self-defense; he often orders his subordinates to take proactive offensive action.

It is also implied that Takeru may be the family member who ordered his uncle Polka Shinoyama murdered; he is surprised when Lemmings informs him Polka is alive, only to then laugh and announce "playtime's over" to his absent uncle. His laughter and clearly malevolent smile are the most emotive he has been to date, and are thus telling as to his true personality.

As Polka is one of the heirs of the Shinoyama Group, Takeru has a clear motive for wanting him eliminated: with Polka gone, Takeru's father Gaku would be the sole heir to the group and one less person to stand in the way of Takeru's ambitions.

Though Takeru can be callous and capable of eliminating family members in his way, his loyalty to the Shinoyama name and family may not only be in service of his own ambitions; for instance, his thanks to Lemmings for saving his younger siblings Shizuki and Kazuki Shinoyama appear to be sincere. Whether this is in part due to the fact that they are too young to threaten his power and position as scion is unknown.
