Tooru Taki

Height: 160 cm Tohru Taki is a female student at Natsumes school. She was first discovered by one of Natsumes friends Nishimura who had heard rumors of her beauty and became entranced he still maintains an obvious crush on her even though Natsume holds most of her attention. Taki is introduced into the story as a shy silent girl. Later the reason for this is because she was cursed by a yokai the last 13 names said by her will be eaten by him at the end of a one year period. The yokai also throws her into an impossible gamble for her life which he does not honor even when she wins. Taki is generally a happy extroverted and optimistic girl. She is shown to have a peculiar taste in cuteness as is shown when she hugs Nyankosensei calling him cute. Like Tanuma she tries to help Natsume in any way she can but is usually prevented from doing so because Natsume worries about their involvement with yokai. Even though Taki herself has too little spirit energy to see yokai she does have the knowledge of drawing yokai circles discovered by her grandfather. The circle once drawn gives any human the ability to see yokai who step within the radius of the circle. The circle does not require any spirit energy to create and activate so anyone could possible draw it if they know how to. But due to it being complicated in looks Taki is presummably the only one able to draw it without the need of a guide.
