Takuma Ichijo (一条 拓麻, Ichijō Takuma?) is the vice-president of the Night Class. He is an aristocratic vampire nearly as powerful as Kaname, whom he is close to and respects. With his cheerful and enthusiastic demeanor, Ichijo appears very "un-vampire like", lacking the dark atmosphere that surrounds most vampires and making him appear more like a human. Ichijo maintains a close friendship with Senri Shiki. Ichijo is ordered by his grandfather Asato Ichijo to spy on Kaname while attending Cross Academy but refuses out of loyalty for his friend. When Senri Shiki is possessed by Rido Kuran, Ichijo is forced to go against Kaname in order to protect his friends. Once Shiki is freed from Rido's possession, Ichijo rejoins Kaname's side and stops Kaname from killing his grandfather, instead asking that he'd be the one to handle the issue. It appears that Ichijo intended to end his life along with his grandfather's. Takuma was discovered unconscious afterwards by Sara Shirabuki, who said that she always wanted "to have" Takuma. Following the one year time-skip, Takuma remains at Sara Shirabuki's side and cannot return to Kaname's side after being fed with Sara's blood when he was injured, because Sara's blood has been taming him and turn him into her slave. After posing as Sara's brother at the elite school she is scouting, he comes back to the new Night Class formed by Yuki Kuran in Cross Academy, along with Sara, completely under Sara's possession.
In chapter 80, Sara admits to him that she has always wanted him, which Ichijo takes as a love confession, and believes that Sara was also jealous of Kaname because Ichijo was by his side for so long. Ichijo wonders if Kaname was ever his friend, or was using his powers to keep Ichijo around him. Takuma agrees to follow Sara to the Hunter's Association under Zero's command in chapter 81. Senri, who is with them, asks him why he would make this decision. Ichijo answers that this was always his decision.
