||
| + | '''Takeshi Yamamoto''', commonly referred to as '''Yamamoto''', is one of the main characters in ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn!]]''. He is generally warm and friendly, and is rarely seen without a smile on his face. He is rather naive to the point of believing that the [[Mafia]] is nothing more than a game and that his life isn't in any real danger. |
||
| + | He was chosen to be the [[Vongola Decimo & Guardians|Tenth Generation Rain Guardian]] of the [[Vongola Famiglia]]. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | '''Takeshi Yamamoto''' ''(山本 武, Yamamoto Takeshi)'' was born in Japan and is 177cm tall, weighing 63kg. He is a Taurus with O blood type. His Future dream is to become a professional baseball player, and is a regular at the Namimori batting field. His favorite food is sushi, and his favorite drink is milk. His favorite instrument is the taiko (a Japanese drum).<br /> |
||
| − | Addressed as "Yamamoto" by almost everyone in the series, this baseballer-turned-Mafioso has a warm and friendly personality and is rarely seen not smiling. He is, however, very naïve to the point of believing that Reborn's Weapons are advanced kid's toys and that the mafia business is one big cops-and-robbers game.<br /> |
||
| − | Yamamoto's portrayal in the story is that of a stereotypical Japanese teenager; his name "Takeshi" and surname "Yamamoto" are both common Japanese names, his looks are quite ordinary for a Japanese teenager, he is a big fan of baseball (a popular sport in Japan), his family owns a sushi store, and later in the story, he uses a katana (a Japanese sword).<br /> |
||
| − | Future Yamamoto has shown to have learned everything about the Mafia and seems to be okay with it. |
||
| + | Takeshi is portrayed as a stereotypical Japanese teenager; his appearance is quite ordinary, he's a big fan of baseball, his father owns a sushi resturant, and he wields a katana. |

| − | ==Plot Overview== |
||
| + | === Appearance === |
||
| + | Takeshi is a fairly-tall teenager with short, spiky black hair and large brown eyes. He bears a strong resemblance to [[Tsuyoshi Yamamoto|his father]]. In the future, he has a scar on his chin. |
||
| + | His most prominent outfit is his [[Namimori|Namimori Junior High]] uniform. He wears a black sweater, with a white formal shirt underneath, and gray pants. Unlike most of his other allies, Takeshi hardly ever wears a tie with his uniform. |
||
| − | ===[[Daily Life Arc]]=== |
||
| − | One day, Yamamoto asked [[Tsuna]] for advice and ended up breaking his arm because he took it. He thought his career in baseball was the only thing he was good at, and planned to end his life. However, Tsuna convinced him that he had much more potential and saved his life. In the anime however the two became friends through a volleyball game. |
||
| − | === |
+ | === Personality === |
| ⚫ | Takeshi is the type of character that can make friends with everyone, and if not friendship, then at least respect. Characters like [[Kyoya Hibari|Hibari]], have been shown to have interest in Takeshi's battles, and Squalo has also shown to have interest in his development to the point of willingly tutoring him. However, Takeshi can become angry when his friends are hurt or injured. He is also willing to sacrifice things important to him to save his friends from danger, as shown in the Kokuyo Arc. where he sacrificed an arm (right before an important baseball game) to defeat [[Ken Joshima]]; and when [[Superbia Squalo]] asked him whether he would choose baseball or the sword, he chose the sword in order to protect those he cared about. |
||
| − | During the [[Kokuyo Gang]]'s attacks, Yamamoto was ranked second strongest in [[Namimori]] Middle. When [[Chikusa Kakimoto]] attacked [[Gokudera]], Tsuna and Yamamoto came to his aid leading to Chikusa's retreat. Later Yamamoto joined the group in the attack on the Kokuyo Gang. He was ambushed by [[Ken]], and the two ended up trapped underground. Disadvantaged due to both his broken bat and Ken's ability to smell him, Yamamoto was unwilling to be hurt. However, once Tsuna was in danger, he sacrificed an arm to beat Ken. Later when [[Lanchia]] attacked the group, Yamamoto was able to figure out the secret to his chain ball attack but was overpowered none the less. |
||
| + | In school his grades are around the same as Tsuna's because of his focus on baseball. However, it is shown that once he sits down and actually learns the theory, he can do any problem easily. Despite not being smart academically wise, he has shown an inner wisdom and tact belying his age. This was shown when he scolded Gokudera on being a proper right-hand man. He has the tendency to believe that everything is a game, including the Vongola which he believes to be some sort of 'mafia role-playing game'. His future self, however, seems to have finally acknowledged the reality of the situation. |
||
| − | ===[[Varia Arc]]=== |
||
| − | [[Image:Squalo Defeats Yama.PNG|thumb|250px|Squalo defeats Yamamoto during their first encounter]] |
||
| − | A month later, Yamamoto, along with Gokudera and Tsuna, was defeated by the [[Varia]] henchman [[Squalo]], who was chasing the Vongola messenger [[Basil]]. Later, Yamamoto was chosen as the [[Vongola]] Rain Guardian and was given a half [[Vongola Ring]]. He then asked for sword training from his [[Tsuyoshi Yamamoto|father]] in preparation for the Varia's arrival. His father scorned him for treating it like a game but still taught him the eight forms of the deadly [[Shigure Soen]] Style. Later in the week, [[Ryohei]], Yamamoto, and Gokudera defended [[Lambo]] from the Levi Lightning Squad. [[Image:Yama vs Squalo.PNG|thumb|left|250px|Yamamoto uses the eighth form on Squalo]]<br /> |
||
| − | In the [[Rain Ring Battle]] Yamamoto was set to fight Squalo again. Before the fight, Yamamoto was warned by [[Dino]] that Squalo may have already defeated the Shigure Soen Style, though Yamamoto remained determined to use it. Squalo did indeed know the style and used it against Yamamoto. In the end, however, Yamamoto won by creating his own technique in the middle of the battle. A shark was then let loose as part of the match, and, although Yamamoto tried to save him, Squalo was pulled into the water. During the [[Sky Ring Battle]], Yamamoto was cured of the poison by [[Hibari]]. Yamamoto devised a cunning plan to rescue [[Chrome]] but it backfired when they were caught in [[Mammon]]'s illusions and were ultimately saved by [[Ryohei]]. Later the Vongola Guardians forced the remaining Varia to surrender and Yamamoto was relieved to hear that Squalo had been saved by Dino.{{-}} |
||
| + | Future Takeshi still shows a bit of his easy-going self but has become more mature and serious. In terms of personality, Takeshi resembles the First Vongola Rain Guardian [[Ugetsu Asari]], something the latter acknowledges. |

||
| − | In the Future, Yamamoto led Tsuna and Gokudera to the Vongola Base where they met with [[Reborn (character)|Reborn]] who revealed that Yamamoto's dad was killed by the [[Millefiore]]. Later while searching for the other Guardian's Yamamoto, Tsuna and Gokudera found adult [[I-Pin]], Lambo and [[Haru Miura]] and [[Kyoko Sasagawa]] being attacked by [[Millefiore]] members, [[Nosaru]] and [[Tazaru]], however before he could fight them Yamamoto was swaped with his past self. [[Image:Yama Defeated By Gamma.PNG|thumb|left|220px|Yamamoto defeated by Gamma]] After having the future situation explained Yamamoto (along with Tsuna and Gokudera) was taught how to use [[Box Weapon]]'s by [[Lal Mirch]]. Yamamoto later went to follow up a lead at Namimori Shrine with Gokudera. They then encountered [[Gamma]] who Gokudera initially took on alone refusing to cooperate with Takeshi and was easily overpowered. However even when they worked together, Gamma's experience far outmatched them both. The two werethen saved by the adult Hibari. After he recovered, Yamamoto began training with Reborn who also gave Yamamoto a DVD made by Squalo, titled 'The Road to becoming the Swords Emperor' which included 100 battles that Squalo won. After developing new techniques from the video Yamamoto was successfully able to slice Reborn's hat. [[Image:Genkishi vs Yama.png|thumb|250px|Yamamoto is overwhelmed by Genkishi's illusions]] Reborn then told Yamamoto about the secret of the [[Arcobaleno]], but asked him not to tell anyone else until after they defeated the Millefiore.<br /> |
||
| − | Yamamoto joined the others for the invasion of the [[Melone Base]]. Yamamoto, along with Lal (who had been knocked unconcious during a fight), were separated from the others. Yamamoto then encountered [[Genkishi]] who he recognized from Squalo's video. Despite making him draw his sword, Yamamoto was overpowered by Genkishi's Illusions. After he was knocked out he was once again saved by Hibari. Later Yamamoto along with the other Guardians was given a Vongola Box. |

| − | ====[[Arcobaleno Trials Arc]] ==== |
||
| ⚫ | Takeshi is a very skilled fighter. Despite his easy-going personality, Takeshi has shown that he has hidden talent as a hitman. In fact, [[Reborn]] clearly sees Takeshi's potential and often mentions to [[Tsunayoshi Sawada|Tsuna]] that Takeshi is a natural born hitman, mentioning as well that he is the best athlete in the entire Vongola Famiglia. His fast reflexes and athletically conditioned-body give him a natural advantage and he is shown to be able to dodge cannon fire and wayward fireworks. Takeshi is also a quick learner, remembering all 8 forms of the [[Shigure Soen Ryu]] despite only being shown once. He also manages to develop a new form of the style, the 9th form, in a life-or-death situation. |
||
| − | When returning to the past for the Arcobaleno Trials, Yamamoto was chosen, along with Tsuna and Ryohei, to take part in Mammon's Test of Adaptability. Under the belief that [[Kyoko]] was being held hostage, the trio were forced to solve a series of riddles as well as fight a number of Box Weapons. Yamamoto was able to see through most of the illusions thanks to his experiance fighting Genkishi. After discovering that Kyoko was safe, they swiftly defeated Mammon and passed his trial. Later Yamamoto and the other Guardians were assembled for Reborn's Trial of Leadership and were easily beaten by him. Shortly after, the Guardians joined forces with the other Arcobaleno, to defeat [[Verde]] and his army. |

| − | When Squalo arrived at the base, he began training Yamamoto and while in the in the woods, Yamamoto decided to follow the path of the sword devotedly while in the future. Yamamoto was included in the [[Choice]] battle during which he encountered [[Saru]] who quickly revealed himself to be Genkishi who Yamamoto was able to defeat using his new Vongola Box. While lying injured Genkishi was killed by [[Kikyo]]. Yamamoto then went to attack the Millfiore target [[Daisy]] and defeated him at the same time as Kikyo defeated Irie. However because of Daisy's undying power, the Vongola lost. |

| ⚫ | * '''[[Vongola Ring|Vongola Rain Ring]]:''' Won during the [[Rain Ring Battle]]. As part of the [[Tri-ni-sette|Tri-Ni-Set]] it is classed as S-rank. In the Future, the Vongola Rings were destroyed by [[Tsunayoshi Sawada|Tsuna]]. However they were later brought back from the Past with the [[Ten Year Bazooka]]. Takeshi is capable of bringing out Rain [[Dying Will Flame]]s from his Ring and use its Tranquility Ability to diffuse other Dying Will Flames. He can also use the heat from the Ring to detect incoming attacks. The [[Vongola Guardians]] were later accepted by the [[Giotto|First Vongola Boss]] as the rightful owners of the Vongola Rings and were granted their [[Original Vongola Rings|true Forms]]. |

| ⚫ | * '''[[Rain-attribute Vongola Box Weapon]]:''' Takeshi has a unique Box Weapon as it in fact two different Animals, one being '''Jirou''' the [[Cane di Pioggia ver. Vongola]], and the other '''Kojirou''' the [[Rondine di Pioggia ver. Vongola]]. Jirou helps Takeshi wield the three Rain Blades that use Rain Flames to propel Takeshi in different directions. Kojirou has the power to make Rain infused with the ''Tranquility'' Attribute and shower it down on opponents. |

| − | [[Image:Yamamoto Gaining Asari's Power.PNG|thumb|250px|Yamamoto gaining Asari Ugetsu's power]]After being sent back to the past for the Inheritance Succession Trials, [[Collonello|Colonnello]] became Yamamoto's tutor. During his test, Yamamoto assumed the it was a fight and began to attack Asari. During the fight, Yamamoto noticed an opening in one of Asari's attacks and used it to strike Asari and Colonnello, who was trying to step in and prevent Yamamoto from attacking Asasri Ugetsu. [[Image:Demon Clone vs Yamamoto.PNG|thumb|250px|left|Yamamoto battling his clone]]<br /> |
||
| − | Asari then declared that Yamamoto had failed his test, but agreed to give him a second chance, though he refused to give a reason for his decision. Back at the shrine the next day, Yamamoto fought Asari again and used the same opening as before. However, he decided in the end not to attack, to which Asari declared that he had passed the test. Asari explained that he set up the attack to see if Yamamoto would attack a defenseless man. Later, when the girls were captured by [[Daemon Spade]], Yamamoto attempted a rescue with the other Guardians. He was separated with the others and fought the doppelganger created by Spade. The illusion was then broken by Hibari's rampage. |

||
| − | ====[[Future Final Battle Arc]]==== |
||
| ⚫ | * '''[[Cambio Forma]]: [[Ugetsu Asari's Four Irregular Swords]]''': Kojirou fuses with Takeshi's [[Shigure Kintoki]] to create the ornately decorated long sword with the roman numeral "I", and Jirou provides three short swords. It is said the [[Ugetsu Asari|First Rain Guardian]] used this sword style. In its [[Yamamoto's Cambio Forma Version Vongola Gear|Version X form]] Takeshi gain's only two swords, along with Armor around his wrists. |
||
| − | Squalo remained at the Vongola Base to fight [[Zakuro]] but was caught in an explosion. Later, Yamamoto went back to rescue him with [[Bianchi]], [[Spanner]] and [[Giannini]]. During the final battle against the [[Real Six Funeral Wreaths]], Yamamoto arrived in time to defend Ryohei and Gokudera from [[Ghost]]. After Tsuna defeats Byakuran, he is seen telling Squalo about how he's going to continue his dream of baseball, getting Squalo mad at him. He tells him that he was professional hitman at his age and then leaves with the rest of Varia. |

||
| − | === |
+ | === Techniques === |
| ⚫ | * '''[[Shigure Soen Ryu]]''': Takeshi inherited this deadly Sword Style from his father who taught him eight Forms, four Defensive and four Offensive. Takeshi has since developed three new Forms and, thanks to his training with [[Superbia Squalo|Squalo]], has also developed [[Aggregate Art: Jiunoka|Aggregate Art]], a move that combines all the Shigure Souen Forms together. |
||
| − | He was grouped with Kaoru to patrol Namimori Middle School's sports facilities to protect Tsuna. He later practices together with [[Kaoru]]. When he knew Kaoru was nervous if people watched him play, he told Reborn about his theory for getting rid of nerves, which prompted Reborn to call Haru to prepare vegetable costumes for everyone to wear, so Kaoru wouldn't be nervous. They began to practice with Kaoru as the pitcher. Kaoru, feeling less nervous, threw the ball so fast that when Yamamoto caught it the ball vanishes, much to Yamamoto's and Reborn's surprise. A while later, as Kaoru and Yamamoto were walking and discussing Kaoru's pitching and the Inheritance Ceremony, a ring wrapped in a slip of paper landed in front of them, identified as Kaoru's. The paper showed the Vongola Crest with an X through it. Yamamoto began to ask a question to Kaoru, even jokingly stating that Kaoru wants to get rid of the Vongola, when the latter suddenly violently attacked Yamamoto using the power of his ring. Yamamoto was left on the ground bloodied, with what appears to be a near-fatal injury saying Tsuna's name before collapsing.<br /> |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Ryohei found him and tried to heal him using the Sun's flame, but to no avail. Yamamoto was sent to Central Hospital to be operated on. It was revealed by Reborn that Yamamoto managed to write a message in blood. Most of what he wrote was accidentally erased. One word survived; "delitto" or "sin" in Italian, which helped Tsuna and the others by giving a clue, but the clue has not yet helped the other guardians realize that Kaoru was the actual culprit. He was last seen unconscious but alive, in surgery, his face covered in blood. The doctor told Tsuna that Yamamoto will live, but the probability of him walking again is extremely low. He was later seen at the Inheritance Ceremony completely healed which was only an illusion created by Chrome Dokuro, which disappeared when Chrome was attacked. |

| + | * Takeshi's favorite food is sushi, and his favorite drink is milk. Both his favourite food and favourite drink are exactly the same as Belphegor's. |
||
| + | * Takeshi's favorite sushi dish is toro, hamachi and shrimp. |
||
| + | * Takeshi's favorite musical instrument is the taiko (a Japanese drum). |
||
| + | * Takeshi's favorite baseball position is batting; but he wishes to be a well-rounded player. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | * In the most recent poll, Takeshi ranked 7th in popularity and 10th in strength. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | * In Ciao Ciao interview, it is stated that the person he thinks invincible is his father, and he said that he probably can never beat him. |
||
| + | * His family owns a dojo named "Asarigumi" (Asari Clan) which used to be where Takeshi's father trained his Shigure Soen style when he was young, which is coincidentally similar to Asari's family name. Currently, the dojo is usually used by Takeshi whenever he trains his swordsmanship. |
||
| + | * As seen in Haru Haru's Interview Dangerous, Takeshi loves milk and even once told Gokudera to drink some because he thinks Gokudera's constant frustration was due to lack of calcium (oblivious that his easy-going attitude was actually the cause of it). |
||
| + | * In volume 42's Everyone's One Day Activities, it's revealed that one of Takeshi's dreams is to play baseball with Tsuna and the other Guardians, though this ends up being hectic because Hibari and Mukuro started fighting for real, followed by Gokudera and Lambo. However, Takeshi still thinks that everyone is having a fun game together, although it's no longer a baseball game. |
||
| + | * According to Futa's ranking databook in volume 36, Takeshi ranked 3rd as "the most wanted mafia member." |

| − | Yamamoto thinks Tsuna is amazing and treats him as a very close friend. Although he is rather naive towards what is really happening during the series, Yamamoto is very devoted and loyal to Tsuna. He fights for him, protecting him above all else. |

||
| − | ===[[Gokudera]]=== |
||
| − | Yamamoto thinks of Gokudera as a friend and although Gokudera does not seem to admit this fact, he also thinks of Yamamoto as a trusted ally. However, there seems to be somewhat of a one-sided rivalry going on. Gokudera believes Yamamoto is trying to become Tsuna's right hand man, when in reality, he is simply being his clueless self and enjoying their competitions. They therefore push each other to do their best and become stronger because of each other. Gokudera also enjoys calling Yamamoto a "baseball freak" whenever he is acting laid-back in a tough situation, when he references something to baseball, or when he does not know something.<br /> |
||
| − | In the Future, the present Yamamoto scolds Gokudera for his coldness towards him. He says that he has no right to be Tsuna's right hand man right now, as the right hand man's job is to gather and unite the Guardians, not turn away from them. He goes back to being happy once Gokudera chooses to accept him. |

| − | The person who "found" Yamamoto and consequently made him join the Vongola. He has very high expectations of Yamamoto's talents and eventually becomes his tutor in the Future Arc. Reborn says that Yamamoto is a natural-born assassin. Yamamoto, on the other hand, thinks that Reborn is an infant who likes to play with very advanced toys such as guns and bombs. Recently, after training with Reborn, he has acknowledged him as being powerful and is interested in hearing Reborn's secrets, which Reborn revealed to him after their training. Reborn seems to like sitting on Yamamoto's shoulder. |

||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Squalo is the first opponent Yamamoto faced who uses a sword. After a humiliating defeat at Squalo's hands Yamamoto had trained extremely hard to learn the Shigure Souen Style in hopes of beating Squalo. Squalo can be seen as the oil that strengthened Yamamoto's desire to become stronger and his rival at swordsmanship. After defeating Squalo in the Rain battle Squalo says that Yamamoto has what it takes to become a great Swordsman, acknowledging him. He, like Reborn, also has high hopes for Yamamoto. In the Future Arc, Squalo sends Reborn and Yamamoto a video of the 101 battles he won in order to become the Sword Emperor, helping Yamamoto and refiring his determination. In the Future Arc, it is also mentioned that Vongola has two Swords masters; one of which is Yamamoto, the other Squalo. Squalo seems to get irritated at Yamamoto as he chooses baseball over swordsmanship. Squalo is one of the few who notice that Yamamoto is not at the inheritance ceremony and that he is an illusion, signifying that Squalo has gotten to know Yamamoto behaviour wise along with his capabilities as a swordsman. |

He helped him to overcome his shyness of being watched by people when playing, by wearing vegetable costumes with the others, which Mizuno appreciated and felt grateful to Yamamoto, as seen fom his tears. However, he attacked Yamamoto after baseball practice when he discovered Mizuno's ring, wrapped in paper with the Vongola emblem crossed out. |

For Chapter 005, see Takeshi Yamamoto (chapter)
Takeshi Yamamoto, commonly referred to as Yamamoto, is one of the main characters in Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. He is generally warm and friendly, and is rarely seen without a smile on his face. He is rather naive to the point of believing that the Mafia is nothing more than a game and that his life isn't in any real danger.
He was chosen to be the Tenth Generation Rain Guardian of the Vongola Famiglia.
Takeshi is portrayed as a stereotypical Japanese teenager; his appearance is quite ordinary, he's a big fan of baseball, his father owns a sushi resturant, and he wields a katana.
Character Outline
Appearance
Takeshi is a fairly-tall teenager with short, spiky black hair and large brown eyes. He bears a strong resemblance to his father. In the future, he has a scar on his chin.
His most prominent outfit is his Namimori Junior High uniform. He wears a black sweater, with a white formal shirt underneath, and gray pants. Unlike most of his other allies, Takeshi hardly ever wears a tie with his uniform.
Personality
Takeshi is the type of character that can make friends with everyone, and if not friendship, then at least respect. Characters like Hibari, have been shown to have interest in Takeshi's battles, and Squalo has also shown to have interest in his development to the point of willingly tutoring him. However, Takeshi can become angry when his friends are hurt or injured. He is also willing to sacrifice things important to him to save his friends from danger, as shown in the Kokuyo Arc. where he sacrificed an arm (right before an important baseball game) to defeat Ken Joshima; and when Superbia Squalo asked him whether he would choose baseball or the sword, he chose the sword in order to protect those he cared about.
In school his grades are around the same as Tsuna's because of his focus on baseball. However, it is shown that once he sits down and actually learns the theory, he can do any problem easily. Despite not being smart academically wise, he has shown an inner wisdom and tact belying his age. This was shown when he scolded Gokudera on being a proper right-hand man. He has the tendency to believe that everything is a game, including the Vongola which he believes to be some sort of 'mafia role-playing game'. His future self, however, seems to have finally acknowledged the reality of the situation.
Future Takeshi still shows a bit of his easy-going self but has become more mature and serious. In terms of personality, Takeshi resembles the First Vongola Rain Guardian Ugetsu Asari, something the latter acknowledges.
Weapons and Abilities
Takeshi is a very skilled fighter. Despite his easy-going personality, Takeshi has shown that he has hidden talent as a hitman. In fact, Reborn clearly sees Takeshi's potential and often mentions to Tsuna that Takeshi is a natural born hitman, mentioning as well that he is the best athlete in the entire Vongola Famiglia. His fast reflexes and athletically conditioned-body give him a natural advantage and he is shown to be able to dodge cannon fire and wayward fireworks. Takeshi is also a quick learner, remembering all 8 forms of the Shigure Soen Ryu despite only being shown once. He also manages to develop a new form of the style, the 9th form, in a life-or-death situation.
Equipment
Takeshi Yamamoto with his Box Weapons.
- Yamamoto's Bat: It was given to him by Reborn shortly before the Kokuyo Arc. Before receiving the Shigure Kintoki or learning the Shigure Soen Ryu, Takeshi used a bat that, when swung at 300 km per hour, transforms into a katana.
- Shigure Kintoki: A Katana inherited by his father, before his battle for the Rain ring. It is a shinai that transforms into a Katana when the Shigure Soen Style is used.
- Vongola Rain Ring: Won during the Rain Ring Battle. As part of the Tri-Ni-Set it is classed as S-rank. In the Future, the Vongola Rings were destroyed by Tsuna. However they were later brought back from the Past with the Ten Year Bazooka. Takeshi is capable of bringing out Rain Dying Will Flames from his Ring and use its Tranquility Ability to diffuse other Dying Will Flames. He can also use the heat from the Ring to detect incoming attacks. The Vongola Guardians were later accepted by the First Vongola Boss as the rightful owners of the Vongola Rings and were granted their true Forms.
Ugetsu Asari's Four Irregular Swords.
- Rain-attribute Vongola Box Weapon: Takeshi has a unique Box Weapon as it in fact two different Animals, one being Jirou the Cane di Pioggia ver. Vongola, and the other Kojirou the Rondine di Pioggia ver. Vongola. Jirou helps Takeshi wield the three Rain Blades that use Rain Flames to propel Takeshi in different directions. Kojirou has the power to make Rain infused with the Tranquility Attribute and shower it down on opponents.
Cambio Forma ver. X
- Cambio Forma: Ugetsu Asari's Four Irregular Swords: Kojirou fuses with Takeshi's Shigure Kintoki to create the ornately decorated long sword with the roman numeral "I", and Jirou provides three short swords. It is said the First Rain Guardian used this sword style. In its Version X form Takeshi gain's only two swords, along with Armor around his wrists.
- Water: A Box Weapon used by Future Takeshi Yamamoto used for defensive water wall able to withstand Flames and protect from incoming attacks.
- Motorcycle: Used to travel great distances during Choice, using a Dying Will Flame powered engine, completely covered by material used to make Mammon Chains and Mammon Covers to keep the bikes from being detected.
- Necklace of the Rain Version X: The upgrade version of the Vongola Rain Ring took form of a Necklace with a Sword and Cane di Pioggia ver. Vongola.
Techniques
- Shigure Soen Ryu: Takeshi inherited this deadly Sword Style from his father who taught him eight Forms, four Defensive and four Offensive. Takeshi has since developed three new Forms and, thanks to his training with Squalo, has also developed Aggregate Art, a move that combines all the Shigure Souen Forms together.
- Attacco di Squalo: A shockwave attack which turns a powerful blow into an oscillating wave that stuns the opponent's muscles. He improved Attaco di Squalo by adding Rain Flames in his Shigure Kintoki
- Rain Flame Radar: An ability to see through invisible attacks by using his Ring's Flames as a radar to detect vibrations in the air, Takeshi learns what the radar reads through his Box Weapon, Kojirou.

Trivia
- Takeshi's favorite food is sushi, and his favorite drink is milk. Both his favourite food and favourite drink are exactly the same as Belphegor's.
- Takeshi's favorite sushi dish is toro, hamachi and shrimp.
- Takeshi's favorite musical instrument is the taiko (a Japanese drum).
- Takeshi's favorite baseball position is batting; but he wishes to be a well-rounded player.
- In the future, Takeshi was aiming to enter the major league before he returned full-time to the Vongola. Squalo sent him the videos of his battles in order to draw him back to the path of the sword.
- Takeshi is the only character to have one Box Weapon that is made up of two different animals.
- In the most recent poll, Takeshi ranked 7th in popularity and 10th in strength.
- In Haru's Haru Haru Interview: Dangerous, it is revealed that while Takeshi's dad runs a sushi bar, Takeshi himself is yelled at whenever he touches anything in the restaurant.
- In Ciao Ciao interview, it is stated that the person he thinks invincible is his father, and he said that he probably can never beat him.
- His family owns a dojo named "Asarigumi" (Asari Clan) which used to be where Takeshi's father trained his Shigure Soen style when he was young, which is coincidentally similar to Asari's family name. Currently, the dojo is usually used by Takeshi whenever he trains his swordsmanship.
- As seen in Haru Haru's Interview Dangerous, Takeshi loves milk and even once told Gokudera to drink some because he thinks Gokudera's constant frustration was due to lack of calcium (oblivious that his easy-going attitude was actually the cause of it).
- In volume 42's Everyone's One Day Activities, it's revealed that one of Takeshi's dreams is to play baseball with Tsuna and the other Guardians, though this ends up being hectic because Hibari and Mukuro started fighting for real, followed by Gokudera and Lambo. However, Takeshi still thinks that everyone is having a fun game together, although it's no longer a baseball game.
- According to Futa's ranking databook in volume 36, Takeshi ranked 3rd as "the most wanted mafia member."
