T.K.

T.K. is a character from the Angel Beats anime and games.

T.K. is a mysterious character who speaks in semi-nonsensical English quoted from pop culture depending on the situation of the scene. He saves the team many times and does know some Japanese but rarely speaks it, and it seems he understands what the others say to him. And he is talented in almost anything (mostly in dancing). He was always seen dancing even though fighting his enemies. His real identity and his name are unknown to characters in the show, even to the SSS, so they identify him as "TK", a nickname he gave himself. However behind character names in the opening sequence their Romaji name can be seen written in faint letters, and behind "TK" it says "Thei Kai".

One particular trait of his is his inability to remain still, as he is in constant movement whenever he is not doing anything at all (although at times he can be seen not in constant movement). His catchphrases appear to be 'Just a wild heaven' and 'kiss you'.

Appearance
He is a tall young man with blond hair wearing a red scarf in his forehead (which represents that he is a mysterious character). Not having the SSS uniform, he has a large dark-red bandanna that practically hides his eyes (Shown for a brief instance in Episode 10 during the 5 on 1 soccer match against Yui). He has also two small earrings on the sides of both his ears and a "necklace" that holds of a pair of handcuffs.

Personality
He speaks in semi-nonsensical English phrases depending on the situation, mainly quoted from pop culture, but apparently does not know English fluently. He saves the team many times and does know some Japanese but rarely speaks it.

Abilities
Though fully capable in unarmed combat as shown in episode 12, TK uses a mismatched pair of a L.A.R. Grizzly and a Browning Hi-Power as his dual sidearms. When heavier firepower is called for, TK calls on a PP-19 Bizon submachine gun.

 * He is seen dancing while fighting the shadows in episode 12.
 * It seems that he doesn't tire out after moving or dancing.
 * The word "THI-KEI" appears behind TK's name in the opening which is likely the phonetically spelling "TK".

 * In Angel Beats! OVA 2 (Hell's kitchen) TK says to Ooyama "Hey, you!" in English, then in Japanese says, "Right now, she's waiting at the airport lobby," which could be a possible hint of his past. (Either his or Ooyama's)
 * In writing and copy editing, "to come" commonly abbreviated to "TK". It is used to signify that additional material will be added at a later date.
