Takeru Yamato
Given the title Yamato Takeru was a Japanese prince who single handedly put down a massive rebellion and killed the two leaders in combat. He was a hot-headed and reckless man who killed his older bother over a misunderstanding. The Emperor Keiko send him to the lands of Izumo and Kumaso so the boy would die in battle. But Ousu won against any enemy he faced. The Emperor attempted to kill him but his aunt, the high-priestess of the goddess Amaterasu stopped their fighting. The priestess sent Ousu to quell a rebellion in the east but secretly aided him by giving him a holy sword and fire strikers. He put down the twin leaders and returned. But his wife, the princess Otoachibana had sacrificed herself to a sea monster to prevent a typhoon from destroy Japan. Ousu tracked the monster to Mount Ibuki. Yamato won but was fatally wounded and died in the arms of his goddess.
He is about 30 years old with black hear and cold black eyes.

Class Skill
Magic Resistance
B
Grants Protection against magical effects. Differently from resistance effect that merely reject prana, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Important to note that the term "verse" seen below refers to a set of three lines. Thus a chant of two verses is equal to a six line incantation. Cancels spells with a change of below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for him to be affected.
Personal Skills
Transparency
B
A clear and serene state of mind. The ability to suppress one's presence gained through completely mastering a martial art. At this level, one's presence is greatly reduced and only those actively trying to detect him in particular can find the servant.
Eye of the Mind (Fake)
B
An innate talent to sense and avoid danger based on intuition, that can also be called the sixth sense or presence, grained through many ordeals and adventures. As a natural talent to avoid danger based on the "perception and resolution of the current situation", it greatly differs from Eye of the Mind (true) which is danger avoidance that originates from "Prediction augmented by experience". At this rank, the servant is able to sense the majority of the changes made on the battlefield, as well as perceive the participants intent to some extent, giving him/her a general idea of what they desire as well as prevent visual interventions that might conceal danger. Yamato gained this through the ownership of the necklace Yasakani
can prevent visual intervention and allows the sensing of danger. Yamato got it from the Yasakani Necklace.
Protection from arrows
A
An increase defense against ranged attacks by predicting the projectiles' trajectories through exceptional means, such as hearing the sound of air being cut or sensing the killing intent of the enemy.
At this rank the attacker does not even need to be within sight of the servant to dodge the attack as long as the projectile itself can be seen. Predictions are now based as much upon intuition as upon the sound and feeling of the wind
Aiki
A
A term for martial arts, using the enemies attack against them. It is stated in various documents of the Daito-Ryu-Aiki-Jujutsu that Takeru Yamato was the first one to use in an actual combat situation and that the system has been derived from it. It allows someone to have a higher awareness of incoming enemy attack and gives an advantage in countering enemy attacks. As a primary result it effects the Agility for counters, when the chance is given and a bit lower for defense. It does not give any effect on regular attack motions. The basis is that it helps him to be better ready to avoid direct blows them most others and displaying some form of pseudo agility which is logically only applied for short times and only in terms of short range movement, rather than frontal maximum speed. While this can be seen in the stats, the improved version- is a rare feat which almost boarders on pure luck for most. For Takeru it is more than that. It is more effective unarmed, allowing a person to successfully throw a target.
Noble Phantasm
Kusanagi no tsurugi: grasscutter sword
Rank: A+
anti-army
Range: 1-99
Max target: 4,400 (The number of ships sunk by the great storm)
The legendary sword of Japan and one of the Imperial Regalia of the nation. Also known as Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurgi the "Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven". The Kusanagi was discovered under the 4th tail of the great serpent Yamata-no-Orochi slain by the god Susanoo. It was given to Yamato by his Aunt, a priestess of the Sun goddess Amaterasu. While invoked, it calls upon the Kamakazi, The Divine Wind that protected Japan from two different invasion of Mongol China, the first that occurred in 1274 and the second in 1281. After calling upon the name of Kusanagi, the sacred blade of Japan is able to manipulate the winds for seven slashes, representing the seven years between the first and second Khan invasions. With each swing the of sword, a slash of wind follows the blade moving at 91 miles an hour, the speed needed for a storm to be considered a typhoon in Japan. After the seventh slash, the area is ripe for the full power of the Kusanagi, the Divine wind. By then calling out the name of the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and razing the blade to the heavens, he creates a Divine Tornado with wind speeds that exceed 150 miles per hour, the minimum needed to be classified as a Super Tsunami in Japan's scale. The massive storm has divine properties that even Takeru Yamato does not have meaning that it can even penetrate the divine defenses of individuals like Gilgamesh or Achilles. The massive tornado lasts for only a single minute however both the wind and the debris that the storm picks up both act as the noble phantasm, allowing for anyone besides a servant of Japanese heritage to be blasted and beat around and eventually dropped to the ground. The divine wind was considered to be sent by the gods to ensure that Japan was protected from foreign invaders and to retain the leadership the Emperor, who was said to be a direct descendant of the goddess Amaterasu.
The most famous sword in all of Japan and the weapon that surpasses Yamato Takeru in fame and popularity giving it a boost in ability. Should It be used against something of the same rank in Japan, that boost would allow Kusanagi to win.
Fire Striker: The Emperor's Gift
Rank: D
Anti-unit
Along with the sword Kusanagi, Takeru Yamato was also given a bag of flint by his Aunt that he later used to counter a fire trapped in a field by enemies. This allows him to make fire with his bare hands and can be used in combination with this Aiki martial arts for a deadly burning fist. These flames cannot be extinguished by normal means as they are created not by magecraft but traditional Shino beliefs and must be extinguished by those beliefs.
It can also be used in conjunction with the Kusanagi to create a devastating flame tornado and add an additional bonus modifier to it however Yamato must first be in imminent danger of being killed by the next blow for Fire Striker to be used with Kusanagi.

This servant is perhaps of the greatest hogpog I will ever put up. The basis for it is several different Saber/Yamato's I have found across the internet and combined together to make a single individual. The largest thing that I personally contributed to it was the effect of the Kusanagi sword. I didn't want a simple rehash of Excalibur as they are very separate and distinct weapons from completely different cultures and time periods. So instead I set upon the Divine Wind idea and just ran with it. However as he is only mostly known in Japan, I didn't even know who Takeru Yamato was until I was looking up old Digimon episodes from my childhood and happened upon the name, and Japan is where the Holy Grail War takes place, I felt it prudent to make additional effects given his status among them. As always, if I have significantly blundered, please tell me.
