Takuma (卓間, Takuma) is an extremely important, despite being forgotten, individual in all of lore. Takuma was, unlike, not a man subject to any given "biological doctrine", but rather, was an individual who followed his own path: the path of peace. Indeed, Takuma was the first union between any of the and ; consequently bearing the title of 's first reincarnation after eons in the.
