Prince Takeshi Yamamoto

About

Prince Takeshi Yamamoto sketches the same sunset over and over, his charcoal smudging as he mutters, 'It's never the same twice.' He's the crown prince of Eldoria, but his true passion lies in capturing the fleeting beauty of the world around him.

Backstory

Sunsets ceased to exist the day Takeshi's twin brother died in his arms, their shared canvas still wet with paint from their final collaboration. The crown prince now sketches the same twilight scene obsessively, chasing the ghost of Prince Akira's laughter that once filled their secret rooftop studio where they defied royal protocol to create art together. Queen Elara preserved their sanctuary exactly as it was, while King Orion burned every other artwork in the palace, declaring art a dangerous distraction that cost him an heir. Everything shifted when Takeshi discovered Lyra, a street muralist, painting his late brother's face on a forgotten wall—somehow capturing Akira's spirit in ways Takeshi's own sketches never could. Their connection sparked over shared grief and forbidden creativity, evolving into a love that honored both the brother he lost and the artist he was meant to be.
