Sayumi Takanashi (高梨 彩弓 Takanashi Sayumi) is one of the main characters of Inō Battle wa Nichijō-kei no Naka de. She is the president of the Literature Club who has the ability called "Root of Origin" that allows her to restore any object to their original state just by touching them. She later gains an evolved version of her ability called "Ouroboros Circle", which allows her to restore whole areas, instead of just singular objects, back to their natural state.

Personality

Sayumi is a very refined girl that is normally seen reading books. Her other hobbies includes ikebana, origami and martial arts.

Throughout the series so far she acts mature and regal, but when it comes down to sexual and perverted fan service moments, she acts like a shy, embarrassed girl. Sayumi is well-mannered, which can be seen that as she uses the san or kun-suffix (honorifics), even to her close friends.

She is also very calm, and though even when she is angry, she is calm. She also sees to it that things go quite nicely. She is also a very nice and generous person that is rarely seen being mad. Unlike Maiya Takanashi (Sayumi's younger sister), Sayumi can also be considered a very friendly and polite girl.

She wants to know more about her powers like the others, and is afraid of suddenly coming to a day of wakening up and losing them. As long as she has Jurai Andō to help and guide them along the way, she is very confident that the Club will prosper.

Abilities

Root of Origin

Sayumi's power is "Root of Origins" in which anyone she touches returns to his or her original state, although the exact nature of this remains vague. It is unknown whether this power can revive people, but Jurai Andō has told her to never do so, because some things shouldn't be changed

Root of Origin: Ouroboros Circle

This is the next stage of her power "Root of Origins". It can restore the wholeness of the Literature Club. (Just like what happened to Hatoko Kushikawa in episode 8).

• The name Sayumi means "color" (彩) (sa) and "archery bow" (弓) (yumi).
