Biography
Yuko Takao (高尾祐子) is a high school teacher who taught Isamu Nitta, Chiaki Tachibana and the Hito-Shura before The Conception. She aids Hikawa in bringing about The Conception, because she is tired of the world, which she sees as full of people meaninglessly wasting their potential without any energy or drive to attempt to make a difference or change the world. Ironically, she herself is lacking in self-esteem and cannot bring about change during The Conception. Her weakness causes her to be swayed by those with confidence and conviction, such as Hikawa. She feels like only a small person unable to make a difference, even though she was respected by her students and she had made a positive difference in their lives. Despite her personal feelings, Yuko spared the lives of three of her students when she invited them to the hospital to visit her. This dramatically altered The Conception by introducing the Hito-Shura and two more candidates to change the world. She is also one of the first humans to obtain a demonic sponsor, which was necessary to form a Reason. She becomes the Maiden of the Vortex World, giving her the greatest potential to change the world's rebirth. Due to her lack of convictions, Aradia leads her around aimlessly, until she is finally betrayed by Hikawa, who uses her to obtain his own demonic sponsor.
