Takahashi Ichiro

Not to be confused with the restaurant of the same name visited by the Robotics Club during their Steveston outing."'Virgil-kun! Good morning! How are we going to take over the world today?'"-Takahashi Ichiro to Satomi Virgil.

Takahashi Ichiro is a supporting character and eventual minor antagonist from the manga One Neo Eon by Alpha Yu of Shonen Bag Studio. Best friend of Satomi Virgil, Ichiro is in fact the first ever Creation Grid Drone manipulated by Yamoto's Faction. Ichiro often behaves in an erratic and eccentric manor, putting on a show of false bravado, but it is unknown if this is a side effect of being part of the Creation Grid or not. Ichiro is eventually murdered by Virgil.

History
It is unknown how Ichiro was first met by Yamoto's Faction, but by the time Eon was being constructed, he was already under the control of the Creation Grid. Under this, he first suggested the idea of inserting a Source Code Projector into Eon to radicalize and naturally simplify his thought processes. Yamoto Daisuke let him pretend to steal one.

Ichiro assisted in the Virgil Incident where he helped Virgil arrest Yamoto Daisuke for allegedly abusing Suzuki Misako. This was, however, actually part of Yamoto's plan.

It was also Ichiro who suggested, by way of the Creation Grid, that the Robotics Contest rules be altered to catch Eon. Additionally, he was also the one who put into Virgil's head the idea of bringing Hunters to Canada.

Eventually, Ichiro was killed when Virgil tried to free him from the grip of the Creation Grid. The Hunter controlling him took the entire top of his head clean off.

Eccentric Behaviour
Like Susan Edwards, (Whom, in behind the scenes content was revealed to originally be related to Ichiro before the idea was scrapped) Takahashi Ichiro is very eccentric. However, whereas Susan uses it to cover insecurities, it is much more likely that Ichiro, being a mature adult, simply does it because he can. It is unknown if being in the Creation Grid affected this behaviour in any way, but all logic points against it, as not only as up to the last hours of his life Ichiro was essentially the only person on the Grid, but the Creation Grid has only been shown to affect desire, not personality.
