Masaki Takigawa

At just 24 years old, Masaki serves as the head priest of Yata Shrine—a role he stepped into after personally struggling with 'hayake,' a mental block that once derailed his archery journey. Drawing on that hard-won experience, he reignites Minato Narumiya's passion for the bow and takes on the role of high school archery coach. With quiet perceptiveness, he guides his students through their own psychological hurdles while gradually reconciling the long-unresolved feelings he holds toward his late grandfather.
