History: Takeo was born a minute behind his brother, Kentaro. At first nothing seemed wrong, but after a few days and eventually weeks it became clear to everyone that something was wrong with Takeo. He was deaf. With a lot of practise Takeo can for the most part understand those aorund him if he can see them talk and if that fails body language and facial expressions get him along well enough.

Currently still a cub and learning to deal with being deaf and growing up.
