Takehisa Hinawa

is a Second Generation Company Commander at the 8th Special 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. He was later seen wearing a grey jumpsuit.

Personality
Takehisa is a calm and resourceful individual, not bothered by Akitaru's antics, instead telling him to focus on the task at hand. He is deductive, as he determined that Shinra joined the brigade in order to make-up for the mistakes he made in the past. When on the field, he was shown to be rather rough, but caring for his team-mates. He is also rather close to Maki and often scolds her for playing with flames.

Plot
Takehisa, with the rest of the 8th Special Fire Brigade, arrives at the train station in order to save it from a rampaging Flame Being. The young man uses a Special Fire Extinguishing Bullet in an attempt to extinguish the threat, which is later taken down by his team-mate, Akitaru Ōbi. When a light pad starts falling straight at Iris, Takehisa readies himself to shoot it down, but Shinra manages to save the girl first, after which, Takehisa asks who the boy was. Later, when Shinra arrives at the 8th Special Fire Fighting Church, Takehisa greets the boy and formally introduces him to Akitaru. When the Battalion Commander asks the boy why he joined the brigade, Takehisa questions Shinra's ambition. Later, in the meeting room, he is present when Akitaru makes a speech regarding known information of the Human Body Ignition Phenomenon. At night-time, when the sound of a siren notifies a threat, Takehisa gets into the brigade's Special Armored Fire Engine and moves out.

Powers and Abilities
Takehisa is a Second Generation, who has adapted to the phenomenon and was granted the ability to manipulate and control flames. However, Takehisa cannot kindle flames himself and must use external sources. On the field, he uses military-based weapons, like a gun or a mini-bazooka, which can function as a fire extinguisher.
 * — Using a bazooka-like weapon, Takehisa shoots a bullet from it, which dissolves into a wall of foam, capable of stopping a Flame Human in tracks or putting out a fire.
