Takamichi T. Takahata is a character from the Mahou Sensei Negima! anime and manga.

In the AWA fics, Takamichi is part of the AWA Academy as one of it's many instructors.
Appearance[]
Takamichi has a spiky, silver hair, dull gray eyes with glasses and a shaved beard. He wears a white open suit over a black poloshirt with red tie and white collar, white slacks and black leather shoes.
Personality[]
He's a rather serious-minded fellow but delves into childish antics when dealing with Godel.
Abilities[]
In order to make up to his inability to perform incantations, Takahata is trained in special fighting styles taught to him by one of Nagi's comrade, Gato Kagura Vandenburg, which he regards as his master.
- Kankaho - A technique that combines Eastern ki and Western magic. Takahata uses his right arm to concentrate ki and his left arm for magic power. Certainly, one to two meters is required to gain initial speed. Along with the huge attacks, Takahata is left wide open and his preparations turns sluggish. Yet, when used with Takahata's invisible punches, these weaknesses are eliminated.
- Iaiken - Bare fist version of iaido (iai pulling of the sword). Takahata uses his pockets in replacement for scabbard (apparently the reason why he has his hands inside his pocket at stance), and carries out punches faster than the eye can see. The downside is Takahata can't use punches in close combat. Using barrages of iaiken at long range, he can compensate for the weaknesses of his fighting style.
- Muonken (Silent Fist): First used in chapter 273.
- Shichijou Taisou: Muonken (Seven Streak Great Lance Silent Fist): First used in chapter 305.
- Senjou Senzoku: Muonken (Thousand Streak Glearring Arrows Silent Fist): First used in chaper 305.
