Kei Takagi

"In war everyone has a reason. But no one actually does in the end."

Kei Rhoa Takagi (慧高木) is the main protagonist of the anime series, Mobile Suit Gundam Galactic.

Early Life
Born as the only child to Mina Takagi and Ray Takagi, Kei Takagi was born on December 12, GC 109, in an unnamed city on the Colony World of Creon in the Outer Colony Rim. Both of his parents were doctors praised by the community and Kei lived a relatively peaceful life until the age of 10. When he reached this age, his parents were both involved in an unfortunate accident, taking both of their lives and leaving their son orphaned. However, his parents left him a vast fortune but it was subsequently taken away when his sleazy aunt and uncle seemingly adopted him but quickly gave him up for adoption after they got ahold of his family's bank account.
