Gema Taku

Gema Taku, (real name: Gema Takagaki) is one of the male students who currently attends Akademi. He is the president and founder of the Gaming Club.

Appearance[]

Gema wears the default school uniform unless customized by the player.

He has short, spiky, dark navy blue hair with a ponytail down the left side. He wears a pair of headphones, circular glasses, a red bandana, and is holding a gaming device. He wears the "Red Armband of Leadership" with a resemblance of a gaming controller on his left arm.

If his task is completed, the next day, he will change to a drastically different appearance: his hair will be in a smoother ponytail, his posture will be fixed and straightened when standing/playing videogames, he will be clean-shaven, the bandana will be gone, and his glasses will be different.

Personality[]

“	When he's not playing video games, talking about video games, writing about video games, reading about video games, trying to develop video games, listening to video game soundtracks, or watching video game streams, then he's probably miserable and wishing that he was playing a video game instead of whatever he's doing. A portable gaming system is almost always in his hands, and he has been caught playing games in class numerous times. He is completely unable to relate to other people who don't play video games, and has zero interest in conversing about any other topic. His strong desire to find like-minded individuals was what led him to form the Gaming Club. His club application was denied by the school, but he still operates an unofficial club in the Computer Lab anyway. The other students of the school acknowledge his club as a 'real club', even if the school faculty does not. Aside from his passion for gaming, he is also known for being very difficult to get along with. He becomes irritated very easily, is a very sore loser when playing competitive games, and generally has a very poor attitude. His antisocial nature has caused him to experience a lot of teasing and bullying, so he prefers to remain in the school's computer lab during most hours of the day. The few people who have managed to become friends with him have observed that he secretly has a very strong desire for the approval of others.	”
	— Description from Official Website.

“	Leader of the Gaming Club. Completely obsessed with anime and video games, and has no other interests or hobbies. Has a somewhat abrasive personality; very few students at school can tolerate him.	”
	— Description from Info-chan.

Among the personas that are currently implemented in the game, Gema is a Loner. If he sees a corpse or witnesses a murder, he will run home and call the police. He cannot participate in physical fights against murderers. Due to him having the Loner persona, he will hide his face if Ayano aims her phone at him.

Routine[]

At 7:00 AM, Gema enters the school grounds. He walks to his locker at 7:05 AM and changes from his outdoor shoes to his indoor shoes. At 7:15 AM, he walks to the Gaming Club on the second floor and plays games.

At 8:00 AM, he walks to Classroom 3-2 and sits at his desk. He starts his morning classes at 8:30 AM, and leaves to go back to the Gaming Club at 1:00 PM. However, in Mission Mode, at Lunchtime, he will eat his bento at the outside of the Gaming Club, making it easier to poison him.

He walks back to class again at 1:30 PM and participates in cleaning time between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM. Afterwards, he heads to the Gaming Club and stays there until the end of the day.

If the Gaming Club is disbanded, he will play a handheld game alone outside of the clubroom.

Trivia[]

YandereDev decided not to include his silhouette in the "Osana Progress Report and Mission Mode Update" video, as he looked as if he was holding something other than a gaming device.^[2]
Gema's name literally means "Gaming Otaku" or "Game Otaku" in Japanese, Gema being "Gamer," and "Taku" being a play on words for "Otaku", an insult in Japan for a geek.
His parents are disappointed in him.^[3]
If the player removes his glasses by using Pose Mode or complete his task before the September 3rd, 2018 Build, the player can see that he has red eyes. After that build, they are the same color as his hair.
Besides Musume and the bullies, he also has some sort of crush on various anime characters, a new one every week, exactly.^[4]
Between anime and games, he prefers games.^[4]
His favorite color is black, and his favorite food is whatever he can stuff into his face as quickly as possible so he can get back to playing video games.^[4]
