Takato Koizumi (小泉隆人, Koizumi Takato) is the younger brother of Risa Koizumi and the love interest of Hiyori Manabe. He is a support character in the original manga and anime, as well as a support character of Act.0 and main character of Act.1 of the sequel manga

Personality[]

Unlike his sister, Takato is quiet and smart. He spends his time studying and doesn't have time to goof off. He becomes angry after failing the entrance exams to his high school of choice, and has to default into attending Maido Academy.

In an attempt to cheer him up, Risa brings Takato to Maido Academy to introduce him to her friends and to the school. While there, Takato becomes increasingly more agitated at how carefree the staff and students are, and perceives everyone as idiots. He runs into Ōtani at basketball practice and yells at him, saying that if he doesn't break up with Risa and get his life together than he's going straight to hell.

After starting high school, Takato begins spiraling down into a depression caused by his lack of interest in Maido Academy and its students. He is irritated by the antics of classmates and generally refuses to participate in activities that the school hosts, such as a TV special with a local news station where Takato ended up yelling at another student during the shooting.

Despite this, he bonds with a classmate named Hiyori Manabe after he spots her drawing pictures of Cain-sama, and offers to let her borrow the Love Love Fantasy videogames from his sister. Manabe describes Takato as a kind and warm person. His depression continues to spiral downwards to the point that he starts skipping school, believing that going to Maido Academy is just a waste of his time. He only goes back after Manabe expresses that she misses him and only enjoys school herself when he's there.

After returning to school, Takato is in a much lighter mood. Often smiling, laughing, and participating in silly face contests with his classmates.

Physical appearance[]

Takato is tall and slender with an athletic build. He has his fathers dark brown hair which he keeps semi-long and unkept. He later trims his hair in Act.0 of the Lovely★Complex D manga. He typically wears 3/4 sleeve length t-shirts or plaid button-ups and pants with tennis shoes. Takato wears glasses during class and while studying, but is generally seen without them.
