Biography
Takeshi started his career as ninja in 2028 when he was tasked with taking down Merlock Food Pharma because of the company's products which were extremely harmful to the consumers, causing fatigue and addiction. When infiltrating the company's base, Merlock electrocutes Takeshi and places him in a holding cell. However, Takeshi managed to escape containment and after fighting his way through Merlock's henchmen, such as SWAT units and clone scientists, he comes across Dr. Boshi whom he tries to assassinate. However, before he could do this, Merlock shows up and the two battle it out while Boshi escapes. After the battle is over, Takeshi proceeds through the base, defeating multiple enemies (including Boshi) in the process with tips received from Lady Snowfox. He eventually confronts Merlock one final time at the top of the latter's company, this time taking him down for good.

40 years later, Takeshi has taken up gardening after retiring from being a ninja ten years prior. However, one night an enraged Akuma's henchmen ambush Takeshi due to his retirement only for Takeshi to defeat them with ease despite having not practiced his ninja skills during the ten years he was gone. Realizing what Akuma is up to, he decides to destroy his former boss and use Akuma's money to fund his retirement. After battling through the guards who were once tasked with protecting him, Takeshi encounters Defence Robot Alpha which is controlled by Akuma's brain. After the ninja severely damages the machine, Akuma retreats with Takeshi going after him. The two meet for one final time on top of a skyscraper, with Akuma's brain now controlling an upgraded version of the aforementioned machine called Defence Robot Zero that has a chainsaw. Despite the challenge provided, Takeshi manages to destroy the machine with Akuma acknowledging his opponent's greatness in his dying breath.
