Kovacs is of Japanese and Hungarian descent.He is fluent in Japanese, as seen in In a Lonely Place at Bancroft's party.

When he realized they had sold her to the Yakuza, his loyalty was shattered, and his family loyalty towards his sister took precedence. Takeshi was loyal to this organization for many years in the understanding that they had looked after his sister by placing her with a loving family. Takeshi appears to be a person of strict loyalty to both his family, people, and organizations- in that, he is loyal to a person/organization who has earned his loyalty, but he has no qualms in breaking that loyalty if the person/organization in question breaks that loyalty. It is only after spending time with Quell and seeing the holographic recordings of his sister does he begin to question the 'official' story told to him.Īt the end of the series, he remains with C.T.A.C.

When he is spun up in 2414 and discovers that there is another version of him, his personal loyalty to Jaeger leads him to believe the lies Jaeger tells him about the other Kovacs. After this backup, the original Takeshi went on the mission to Harlan's World and discovered his sister working with the Yakuza. His stack was backed up and placed in storage, as was the standard practice (but this was unknown). His stack was placed into an adult body, leaving his original child body behind on Harlan.įor the next 10 years, Takeshi served CTAC with distinction. After being promised (falsely) that his sister would be taken care of and put in a good home, Takeshi accepted and joined CTAC. He was given a choice to either be imprisoned or join CTAC by Jaeger. In a fit of rage, he killed his father at the age of 12, before being arrested by Colonial Tactical Assault Corps. He had a miserable childhood, stemming from his father's verbal and physical abuse, which turned for the worse when his father murdered their mother. He had a younger sister, Reileen Kawahara, with whom he was very close. Takeshi was born on Harlan's World to Jakub Kovacs and an unnamed mother. Kovacs' original sleeve was kept in storage on Harlan's World while he was needle cast off-world to begin his training.Īfter the original Takeshi Kovacs started working with Quellcrist Falconer again in 2414 Ivan Carrera had a backup of Takeshi restored in a sleeve that matched his birth sleeve with upgrades. He agreed as long as they promised to look after Reileen. Taken into custody by the Colonial Tactical Assault Corps, Kovacs was given the option to enlist. Although he does not share his younger sister's last name, their father is shown in flashbacks to be a white male so it appears safe to assume that Takeshi kept his father's name, Reileen would take her mother's, as their mother was of Asian descent as also shown in flashbacks and in the family photo she shows to Takeshi. One day, Takeshi's father also threatened Rei as he had their mother, causing Kovacs to shoot him in the stack and kill him in order to defend Rei. Their father killed their mother and disposed of the body in a coolant pool (where it essentially disintegrated), leaving no evidence and ensuring the police assumed that she had just run away. Growing up with his sister, Reileen, they suffered an abusive childhood. Takeshi Lev Kovacs (nicknamed Tak) is a native of Harlan's World and a former member of the Colonial Tactical Assault Corps.
