Takeru Mizuno Husbando

Takeru Mizuno is a member of 9th Grade Class 3 and a student at Yomiyama North Middle School. He is a basketball club member. He is a minor character in the anime and manga, and one of the main antagonists of the movie. Sanae complains to Kouichi her brother isn't especially intellectual; she laments that he's only ever read manga. Takeru, however, seems to have an easy going personality, and has several friends, whom he is usually talking to. He is fiercely protective of his sister in all incarnations of Another even though the two aren't especially close. In the manga, Takeru was ultimately willing to forgive Kouichi for his role in Sanae's death, refusing to side with Izumi during her confrontation with Mei at the inn. In the film, however, Sanae's death became his driving motivation. Takeru burned with a deep-seated hatred of Kouichi, unwilling to forgive him for his sister's accident. Furious, Takeru was driven to murder, regardless of personal safety, to avenge Sanae's death.
