(高城 寛子, Takashiro Hiroko)
from Bible Black
Hiroko Takashiro is a major character in the original Bible Black game and its sequel Bible Black: The Infection. She also plays a major role in the anime adaptions Bible Black: La Noche de Walpurgis, its prequel Bible Black: Origins and sequel Bible Black: New Testament. Additionally, she is also featured in two scenes of Bible Black: Only. As a student, Takashiro has a great interest in witchcraft, claiming the power of darkness can perform miracles. She studies it to learn the truth of history, since witchcraft has been part of life since ancient times. She plays games of tarot with her friends Rie and Saki at school and they occasionally gather and imitate the black magic rituals they read about. Later she takes an interest in art and becomes an instructor and faculty advisor for the Academy art club. She is very popular among both male and female students, some of them having chosen art class just because of her. Takashiro has violet eyes and red hair at mid-length in her youth but wears it long and flowing as an adult. She shortens it later in life as a nun where she usually hides it under a white hood. Like all students, Takashiro wears her Academy uniform while at school during her youth. At home, she is seen dressed in an orange-blue sweater with a high white collar and green skirt with long white stocking or socks. She dons a black hooded robe during summoning rituals with her witchcraft club. As an adult art teacher, Takashiro wears a somewhat formal outfit consisting of a white with dark purple jacket with white cuffs on both sleeves and a red skirt. There is a distinctive yellow bow-tied cravat below her white collar. Additionally, she wears long black stockings that reach up to her thighs and black high heels. Her lips are covered with red lipstick and she wears two green pearl-shaped jewels in her ear. After her conversion to a more secluded lifestyle, Takashiro dresses in a simple purple robe with a white veil. She later wears a revealing purple with yellow robe and a beaded talisman around her neck. She is also briefly seen wearing a red kimono.
Bible Black
Every school has secrets, but few leave a stain that won't wash out. In a certain school, there was once a fun club centered around magic but had turned into murder and a lust for power. Sealed and willfully forgotten, the resulting evil of that day remained chained in the school's basement. Twelve years later, high school student Taki Minase, while inspecting the place where the incident took place, uncloaks the secret plastered in blood—a book of magic called "Black Bible." Trying his luck with its love curses, he soon finds out the magic proves real and easily penetrates the hearts and bodies of his fellow classmates. The resulting intercourse leaves the student body very vocal, and Minase's acts do not go unnoticed. What was at first a simple stroke of curiosity becomes much larger and harder to control. Fully swallowed by the unshackled darkness, everyone he knows becomes a victim, including his childhood friend Kurumi Imari. Torn apart, Minase finally realizes his mistakes and that he must reverse them in time if he ever hopes for him and Imari to come together.
