Takuma Ichijo

Takuma Ichijo (一条 拓麻, Ichijō Takuma?) is the vice-president of the Night Class, he is a noble-class vampire who is almost as powerful as Kaname, whom he is close to and respects. Takuma maintains a close friendship with Senri Shiki, whose great grandfather is also a member of the council. He is also good friends with Rima Toya.

Personality
Takuma appears very un-vampire like with his cheerful and enthusiastic demeanor. He seems to be very friendly, and doesn't seem to crave for blood as much as other vampires. Even Yuki stated Takuma did not seem very vampire-like.

Appearance
His height is 183 cm (6' 0"), he is thin with a slight pale complexion, bright green eyes and short blonde hair.

Background
We dont know much about Takuma's parents however it is most likely that Takuma was raised by his grandfather Asato Ichijou who educated him and has high expectations of him. In a flashback, it is seen Takuma is already friends with Kaname when Kaname goes to meet Yuki.

Plot Summary
His grandfather asks him to spy on Kaname, but he refuses out of loyalty and attempts to break free of his grandfather's mold. Takuma attempts to protect the possessed Shiki Senri, forced to go against Kaname in order to protect all his friends. Following Shiki's freedom from Rido's possession, Takuma has rejoined Kaname's side, where he appears in time to stop Kaname from killing his grandfather and instead insists on being allowed to handle the issue. It is strongly hinted at that Takuma intends to end his life along with his grandfather, saying "Together, let us put an end to the Ichijo line." But it is revealed that he never got his wish, as he was discovered unconscious afterwards by Sara Shirabuki, one of the only known Pureblood vampires, who said that she always wanted "to have" Takuma, as though he were simply a doll or a toy. He is currently in the hands of Sara Shirabuki, who is torturing him to extract information about Kaname. After the one year time-skip he seems to be living with her and quite healthy.
