-Yamamoto was born in Japan and is 177cm tall, weighing 63kg. He is a Taurus with O bloodtype. His future dream is to become a professional baseball player and he goes to Namimori's batting field everyday. His favourite food is sushi and his favourite drink is milk. His favourite instrument is the taiko, a Japanese drum.
-Addressed as 'Yamamoto' by almost everyone in the series, this baseballer-turned-mafia has a warm and friendly personality and is rarely seen not smiling. He is, however, very naive to the point of believing that Reborn's weapons are advanced kid's toys and that the mafia business is one big cops-and-robbers game. Yamamoto is regarded by various Reborn characters, especially Tsuna, as being reliable and almost never fails to deliver. A prominent example is how he won the turnaround match for Tsuna's family in the Varia arc against Superbi Squalo in a sword fight no-one thought he could win.
-Yamamoto is the type of character that can make friends with everyone, and if not friendship, at least respect. Characters like Hibari Kyouya has been shown to have interest in Yamamoto's battles and Squalo has also shown interest in his development. However, Yamamoto can become angry when his friends are hurt or injured. He is also willing to sacrifice things important to him to save his friends, shown in the Kokuyo arc.
-Despite his easygoing personality, Yamamoto has shown that he has hidden talent as an assassin. In fact, Reborn clearly sees Yamamoto's potential and often mentions to Tsuna that Yamamoto is a natural born killer. His fast reflexes and strong body from sport gives him a natural advantage and he is shown to be able to dodge cannon fire and wayward fireworks. Yamamoto also learns really quick, remembering all 8 forms of the Shigure Souen Style despite only being shown once. He also manages to develop a new form of the style in a life-death situation. In the future arc, Yamamoto also manages to light the flame on his ring on his first try. Of all of Tsuna's family Reborn seems to have a special interest in Yamamoto, helping him train initially, giving him the baseball bat that can turn into a katana, making special notes on his progress and eventually becoming his 'home tutor' in the Future arc.
-Yamamoto's portrayal in the story is that of a stereotypical Japanese teenager; his name 'Takeshi', and surname 'Yamamoto' are both common Japanese names, his looks are quite ordinary for a Japanese teenager, he is a big fan of baseball (a popular sport in Japan), his family owns a sushi store and later in the story, he uses a katana (a Japanese sword).
-In the future arc, he is shown to have learned everything about the mafia and seems to be okay with it.
-=[[Daily Life Arc]] =
-One day Yamamoto broke his arm during training. He thought his career in baseball was the only thing he was good at, and planned to end his life by jumping off the school roof. However [[Tsuna]] convinced him not to and the two became good friends. This scene is however excluded in the anime and is replaced with Tsuna and Yamamoto becoming good friends after a volleyball game.
-==[[Kokuyō Arc]]==
-Yamamoto joined the group in the attack on the Kokuyo gang. He was attacked by [[Ken]] and he two ended up trapped underground. Disadvantaged due to both his broken bat and Ken's ability to smell him Yamamoto was unwilling to let himself be hurt. However once Tsuna was in danger he sacrificed an arm to beat Ken. Later when [[Lancia]] attacked, Yamamoto was able to figure out the secret to his chain ball attack but was defeated all the same.
-==<u>[[Varia Arc]]</u>==
-[[Image:Rain_Ring.jpg|thumb|200px|Rain Ring and the Vongola Coat of Arms]]
-After his defeat against [[Squalo]], Takeshi was chosen as the Rain guardian. He was then taught the eight forms of the Shigure Souen Style'' ''by his father. Takeshi later fought Superbi Squalo again during the [[Rain Ring Battle]]. Squalo however already knew the Shigure Souen Style however Yamamoto won by creating his own new form in the middle of the battle. A shark was then let lose as part of the match and although Yamamoto tried to save him, Squalo was pulled into the water.
-During the [[Sky Ring Battle]] Yamamoto was cured by [[Hibari]]. Meeting up with [[Gokudera]], the two went to rescue [[Chrome]] who was being held hostage by [[Mammon]] and [[Bel]]. Yamamoto devised a cunning plan and used the Shigure Souen Style. However this backfired and they were ultimately saved by [[Ryohei]]. Later Yamamoto was relieved to hear that Squalo had been saved by [[Dino]].
-==[[Future Arc]]==
-[[File:Takeshi Yamamoto.jpg|thumb|Yamamoto (25 yrs old)]]
-In the future Yamamoto lead Tsuna and Gokudera to the Vongola base where they met with [[Reborn]]. It is there that it is revealed that Yamamoto's dad was killed by the Millfiore. Later during a fight with the Millfiore he is swapped with his past self. Along with Tsuna and Gokudera he later begins training with [[Lal]] and was able to quickly draw out the rings flame though he couldn't open all his boxes. Later while searching for Hibari, he and Gokudera follow a lead to Namimori Shrine and encounter [[Gamma]]. Despite convincing Gokudera to work with him, the two were defeated. Hibari arrived just in time to save them from a fatal blow.
-After he recovered, Takeshi began training with Reborn as his home tutor. During training, Reborn promised to reveal the Acrobaleno's secret if Yamamoto's training was successful. Reborn gave Yamamoto a DVD of Squalo titled 'The Road to becoming the Swords Emperor' with 101 battles Squalo won. After developing new techniques from the video Yamamoto was successfully able to rip Reborn's hat. Reborn then told Yamamoto about the secret of the Arcobaleno, but asked him not to tell anyone else until after they defeated the Millefiore. During the attack on the Melone base, Yamamoto, along with the unconscious Lal, were separated from the others. He then encountered [[Genkishi]] and although he was able to make him draw his Sword he was overpowered by Genkishi's illusions.After he was knocked out he was once again saved by Hibari.
-When Squalo arrived at the base, he began training Yamamoto and while in the in the woods, Takeshi decided to follow the path of the sword devotedly. Yamamoto was included in the very first [[Choice]] battle. During the battle he encountered [[Saru]] who quickly revealed himself to be Genkishi. Using his new Vongola box and improved sword style, which is much like the first Rain Guardians, according to Reborn, Yamamoto was then able to defeat Genkishi. While lying injured and telling Yamamoto he will eventually defeat him, Genkishi is killed by Kikyo's bellflowers. Yamamoto then went to attack the Millfiore target [[Daisy]] and defeated him at the same time as Kikyo defeated Irie. However because of Daisy's undying power, Takeshi's victory didn't count.
-=Relationships=
-Takeshi is a very warm and accepting person, and as such, he makes friends very easily and is respected by nearly everyone. He likes almost everybody in the series.
-====Tsuna====
-Yamamoto thinks Tsuna is amazing and treats him as a very close friend. Although he is rather naive towards what is really happening during the series, Takeshi is very devoted and loyal to Tsuna and puts fighting for him and protecting him above everything else.
-====Gokudera====
-Takeshi and Gokudera are friends, but have somewhat of a one-sided rivalry going. Gokudera believes Takeshi is trying to become Tsuna's right hand man, when in reality, he is simply being his clueless self and enjoys their competitions. They therefore push each other to do their best and become stronger because of each other.
-In the future, the present Takeshi scolds Gokudera for his coldness towards him. He says that he has no right to be Tsuna's right hand man right now, as the right hand man's job is to gather and unite the guardians- not turn away from them. He goes back to being happy once Gokudera chooses to accept him.
-====Reborn====
-The person who 'found' Yamamoto and consequently made him join Vongola. He has very high expectations of Yamamoto's talents and eventually becomes his tutor in the Future Arc. Reborn says that Yamamoto is a naturally talented assassin. Yamamoto, on the otherhand, thinks that Reborn is an infant who likes to play with very advanced toys (guns, bombs). Recently after starting to train with Reborn he has acknowleged him to be powerful and is interested in hearing Reborn's secrets which he promised to reveal after their training. Reborn seems to like sitting on Yamamoto's shoulder.
-====Squalo====
-Squalo is the first opponent Yamamoto faced who uses a sword. After a humiliating defeat at Squalo's hands Yamamoto has trained extremely hard learning the Shigure Souen Style in hopes of beating Squalo. Squalo can be seen as the oil that strengthened Yamamoto's desire to become stronger and his rival at swordsmanship. After defeating Squalo in the Rain battle Squalo says that Yamamoto has what it takes to become a great swordsman, acknowledging him. He, like Reborn, also has high hopes for Yamamoto. In the Future Arc, Squalo sends Reborn and Yamamoto a video of the 101 battles he won in order to become the Sword Emperor, helping Yamamoto and refiring his determination. In the Future Arc, it is also mentioned that Vongola has two swords masters; one of which is Yamamoto, the other Squalo.
-==Abilities & Weapons==
-Takeshi uses a bat that Reborn gives him. The bat turns into a [[katana]] when swung faster than 300km/h, though he initially did not have much skill in using it. The bat also contains a telescope. Reborn also gives him Micro Hammers. These weapons are spiked baseballs that explode on contact.
-In the future, Takeshi shows a great level of mastery with the sword and the power of the Vongola rings. Even though the main rings were destroyed, he was still able to use the special boxes and their unique powers. When his past self arrives he starts using a box that releases a swallow covered in dying will flame. The swallow is capable of making heavy rain and attacking opponents.
-===[[Shigure Soen|Shigure Soen Ryu]]===
-After coming up short in his first fight against [[Squalo]], and then being told that he would just get in the way by [[Reborn]], he asked his father for kendo lessons. What he did not know was that his father is an incredibly skilled swordsman who uses his sword to kill. His father specializes in the ''Shigure Soen Style''. After completing his kendo training, his father gave him a shinai that could transform into a katana only when wielded by the Shigure Soen Style. It has a special name, the ''[[Shigure Kintoki]]''.
-The Shigure Soen Style is a notoriously deadly sword style that is only passed down to worthy successors. Each 'form' of the style is only shown once to the student - if the student is worthy to succeed, he only needs to see it once to remember how to use it from then on. It originally only had one form that was passed down through generations of successors with each successor creating and adding their own forms resulting in many branches of Shigure Souen Style. However, as new forms were created the weaker branches deteriorate and others disappear as there is no worthy successor. Hence this style can be called as the perfect, flawless style.
-The Shigure Soen Style taught to Yamamoto consist of 8 forms; four defensive, four offensive. Coincidentally, the Shigure Soen Style's eight forms all have ''rain'' in their names, further establishing Yamamoto's right as the holder of the Rain Ring.
-Yamamoto has further created two new forms, form 9 and 10, both offensive.
-[[File:Rain Swallow.png|thumb|Kojirou]]
-[[File:17.jpg|thumb|Yamamoto with Jirou]]
-[[Vongola Box Weapons|'''Rain Vongola Box Weapon''']]: Yamamoto has a unique Box Weapon as it in fact two different animals, one being '''Jirou''' the Rain Akita (Akita di Pioggia ver. Vongola) and the other '''Kojirou''' the Rain Swallow (Rondine di Pioggia ver. Vongola), who was a normal Box Weapon before Yamamoto obtained the Vongola Box. These two have different abilities, as Jirou helps Yamamoto wield the three Rain Blades Jirou carries, while Kojirou has the power to make rain with the ''Tranquility'' attribute and is used in the Shigure Soen Style attack ''Scontro di Rondine''.
-[[File:Yamamoto_246_by_spidercochon27.jpg|thumb|left|256px|Yamamoto's swallow and Shigure fused to make the legendary combination Asari Ugetsu]]
-*'''Cambio Forma: Asari Ugetsu''' (''Change Form: Morning Benefit Moon Obsured by Rain'') - Kojirou fuses with the [[Shigure Kintoki]] to create the ornately decorated long sword with the roman numeral "I", and Jirou provides three short swords to create this quadruple sword combination style. The short swords can propel Yamamoto in different directions by releasing rain flames, similar to Tsuna's gloves. The short swords are normally kept in between his fingers in his left hand. It is said the first Vongola Rain Guardian used this sword style.
