Shinobu Takatsuki (高槻 忍, Takatsuki Shinobu) is a main character in the Junjou Romantica series. His lover is Yoh Miyagi and their relationship is titled Junjou Terrorist.

Appearance

Shinobu is a high school (later college) young man with dirty blonde hair, grey eyes, a slim physique, he a couple of inches shorter than Yoh Miyagi and he is very popular among girls for his looks.

He usually wears his school uniform and dresses fairly casually in mostly jeans and long-sleeve shirts in college.

Personality

Shinobu is a very straightforward, forceful and slightly haughty due to being good at everything he tries and is a young man who usually has a frown on his face and rarely ever smiles. However, around Yoh Miyagi, Shinobu is shown to be easily embarrassed and sensitive as he is very terrified of the idea that Miyagi is with him out of sympathy or concerned of him leaving.

Plot

Shinobu is an 18-year-old high school student (and the son of Mitsuhashi University's dean of literature and of the boss of Yoh Miyagi and Kamijou) who believes it to be fate that he is in love with Miyagi (Shinobu's ex-brother-in-law). He would very much like Miyagi to take responsibility for Shinobu falling in love with him. He is often blunt and unreasonable, always going with emotions rather than logic, though he is shown to have a softer side.

After hearing that Risako Takatsuki (Shinobu's older sister) divorced Miyagi, Shinobu rushes back to Japan to meet with Miyagi in order to reveal his feelings for him, and ask him in all seriousness to "take responsibility" into the matter. Miyagi is shocked and believes the young boy is insane, but he soon discovers Shinobu is very serious about it and ready to do anything to claim his love. He initially tried many attempts, even at some point on the brink of leaving Japan, to show Miyagi how much he loves him.
