Takehisa Hinawa

Takehisa Hinawa is a Second Generation Company Commander at the Special 8th Fire Brigade.

Appearance
Takehisa is a young man with a short crop of light hair and glasses. He is seen wearing the traditional brigade's bunker gear, which consists of a black tank top, buckled at the waist with a belt, which presses a middle part that's strapped to his shoulders, and dark pants. Those are later topped by a protective jacket and trousers.

Personality
Takehisa has shown to be a calm individual, not bothered by Akitaru's antics, instead telling him to focus on the task at hand. He is also deductive, as he determined that Shinra joined the brigade in order to make-up for his false mistakes, which turned out not the be case.

Plot
Takehisa, with the rest of the Special 8th Fire Brigade, arrived at the train station in order to save it from a rampaging Flame Being. The young man used a Special Fire Extinguishing Bullet in an attempt to extinguish the threat, which was later taken down by his team-mate, Akitaru Ōbi. When a light pad started falling straight at Iris, Takehisa readied himself to shoot it down, but Shinra managed to save the girl first, after which, Takehisa asked who the boy was. Later, when Shinra arrived at the Special 8th Fire Brigade Church, Takehisa greeted the boy and formally introduced him to Akitaru. When the Battalion Commander asked the boy why he joined the brigade, Takehisa questioned Shinra's ambition. Later, in the meeting room, he was present when Akitaru made a speech regarding known information of the Human Body Ignition Phenomenon. At night-time, when the sound of a siren notified a threat, Takehisa, alongside the rest of his team, got into the brigade's Special Armored Fire Engine, nicknamed "Matchbox", and moved out.

Powers and Abilities
Takehisa is a Second Generation ignition user, who has adapted to the virus and was granted the ability to manipulate and control flames, but cannot create such flames himself. In battle, he was seen using a Special Fire Extinguishing Bullet.
