Biography
Takemura arrived in Night City alongside Saburo Arasaka when the latter visited his son, Yorinobu, at Konpeki Plaza to reclaim the Relic that Yorinobu had stolen. Takemura wanted to make a thorough security sweep of Yorinobu's suite, which would have uncovered V and Jackie Welles, but he was ordered to leave the room with Adam Smasher. With V and Jackie looking on, Yorinobu then murdered his father. When Takemura returned, Yorinobu claimed Saburo had been poisoned, but the bodyguard was somewhat skeptical of the claim.

Later, after V and Jackie escaped Konpeki Plaza, Takemura assumed they had assassinated Saburo and tracked down their fixer, Dexter Deshawn. As Deshawn had already killed V in an attempt to cover his tracks, Takemura forced Deshawn to bring him to V's body, which had been disposed of in a dump on Night City's outskirts. Once Deshawn found V, who unexpectedly seemed to have survived, Takemura executed him and notified Yorinobu that he had captured his father's killer. Fearing V could expose his crime, Yorinobu sent an Arasaka hit squad to eliminate both V and Takemura before they returned to the city. Takemura endured the assassins' initial onslaught long enough to revive V to assist him in fighting them off. Once they were free of pursuers, Takemura brought V to Victor Vector so they both could receive medical care.

After V recovered, Takemura contacted them to discuss how to get revenge against Yorinobu for his betrayal. The bodyguard claimed to have powerful connections who could help clear their names and remove Yorinobu from power, replacing him with his sister Hanako.
