Asakura Taiki

Asakura Taiki (朝倉太樹) is a character in Mad Love Chase by Takashima. He is a zombie from the Demon Realm, but appears human when on Earth. Along with Souya and Touma, he was sent by the Demon King to retrieve Prince Kaito who ran away from the Realm and abandoned his arranged marriage. He poses as a student in order to fulfill his mission.

Appearance & Powers
Taiki is a tall, beefy guy with dirty blond hair and turquoise eyes. His human form and demon form do not have many differences. Though in his true form, many deep scars cover his body including a large one across his face.

As a human, he wears his school uniform, but as a demon "on duty" he wears a long black trench coat with matching black attire underneath.

His powers are pretty straightforward: he has super strength and can go into a kind of "berserk mode" or "barbarian mode" where he loses all coherent thoughts but has an extreme boost in strength.

Personality
Taiki is considered a gentle giant. He has a similar carefree attitude to Yamato and can sympathize with others, which is why he is reluctant to bring Kaito back when he discovers why he wants to stay. He also loves animals, and cared for an injured stray cat. He has a big brother kind of attitude.

Yamato
Taiki is best friends with Yamato. They are both carefree and somewhat silly when they're together. But if Yamato gets injured or sick, Taiki becomes quite serious like a big brother and makes sure he's cared for. He does find out Yamato is Kaito, and is reluctant to bring him in, knowing their friendship can't continue once they're in the Demon Realm due to its social restrictions.

Souya & Touma
Souya is the leader of the three demons so it's natural they would be somewhat close. Touma is hardly friendly towards anyone. The three do consider themselves friends though, and stick up for each other when things go south. They put duty ahead of this friendship momentarily, but come to a consensus that puts them all back on the same page.

Itsuki
Taiki has always admired Haga-sensei as a cool, beautiful lady. He does not know that she is actually Kaito's cat, Rebun. It seems his fancy may only be one-sided as Rebun is aloof.
