Thank you.



This is an attempt to capture for reference a character paper snapshot of the character Tomiko Takano, a major character in the Multiverser novels who debuts in Versers Versus Versers and continues her story in Re Verse All.  This character sheet includes everything that is confirmed about her, plus a few extrapolations, in those books, and thus represents her as she is at the end of the seventh Multiverser novel.

The picture was found on the internet; it's not completely accurate, but it will suffice.

To assist the referee, most entries include at least one coded reference to a chapter or chapters in which the item is mentioned; thus by cross-referencing with the story you can determine the details.  The chapters are identified by which character's story is being told, and thus most of those here begin with "Ta"; this is followed by a three-digit number indicating the chapter number for that character, not the chapter number for the book.  Thus if you want to find the first reference to her nickname, you read here that it appears in Ta001, and on the index page for the sixth novel you search for the text "Takano 1" and that will take you to the link for that chapter.  Obviously the chapters beginning "Ko" are Joe's story,and thus "Kondor", those beginning "Ha" are Lauren's story, and thus "Hastings", those beginning "Sl" are Bob's story, "Slade", those beginning "Br" are Derek's story, "Brown", and those beginning "Be" are James Beam.
