Appearance
He is the only character in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL who is seen wearing his school uniform at all times, to show his serious and punctual side. After his Duel with IV, Caswell wore a orange arm brace to support his injured arm.
Personality
A very smart person, he believes that everything can be planned out and executed as planned, only to be corrected by Mr. Kay saying that not everything goes according to plan. He has a habit (in the Japanese version) of saying "to summarize" whenever he makes a final statement on a subject. In the dub he says "In the end". He has blue hair over black hair and his school uniform is the same as Bronk and Yuma's.
Anime biography
Caswell was the class chairman of Yuma Tsukumo's class. He was able to figure out why the school's computer system went down, saying that someone tampered with the city's main computer. He Dueled Yuma that day, as they could not access their online books in Mr. Kay's class. Caswell soundly defeated Yuma without taking a single point of damage, as Yuma could not access his Extra Deck since Astral was not present.
Caswell was accused by Yuma of spreading the virus, but Caswell insisted he was being used by someone else and was unaware of what he was doing. He accompanied Yuma and Tori, leading them to the true culprit, Mr. Kay.[2] After Yuma defeats Mr. Kay, his motives were revealed to be benign, as he simply wanted everyone to enjoy his virtual "Crashbug".[3]
He appears again when Yuma came to school one morning and asks to see his Deck, taking it without Yuma's reply. When asked what he was looking for he said for Yuma's "Numbers". He claimed that even though he beat Shark and Flip it was due to the "Numbers" which made Yuma angry and want to challenge Shark again which he was present for.[4]
He along with Bronk came up with the idea of forming the Super Secret Number Cards Investigation Club and found nothing on the school computers about them.[5]
World Duel Carnival
During the World Duel Carnival, he and Bronk were invited by IV to Duel in a certain area. During the Duel, IV let him and Bronk get the upper hand, but are then mercilessly defeated by "Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Killer". Caswell was knocked unconscious and taken to a hospital, but later after Sharks Duel with III, it is revealed by Tori that he is okay.[1]
After meeting Yuma again, he alongside the others try to find Yuma a weak opponent. Once they find Flip, they watch Nelson Andrews's Duel against Gauche, and are amazed.[6] He later appears with the rest of his friends to support Yuma in his Duel against III.[7] After III activated "Angolmois", he realized that what was happening was now real.[8]
World Duel Carnival Finals
He and the others watch Yuma dueling the Fallguys. When the visual for watching the duel field went out, Caswell finds it suspicious.
Manga biography
Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL
In the manga, Takashi is part of Yuma's circle of friends, with Kotori, Cathy and Tetsuo. When he heard the rumor that Yuma defeated Shark, he got surprised to hear it was true. He believed that Yuma must have a lot of hidden potential.[9]
After Yuma's loss to Kaito Tenjo, Takashi, Tetsuo, Cathy, Kotori and Tokunosuke form the Numbers Club in order to help Yuma.[10]
Later, The Numbers Club, together with Yuma and Astral, go to the Heartland Theme Park to find "Numbers".[11]
After their escape from the park, Yuma and the members of the Numbers Club gather in Cathy's house. Tetsuo asks Cathy what she wanted to show them. She then presses a cat paw-like button, which opens a door leading to a big room, with many researchers and big computers. Cathy explains that as an apology for the trouble she caused, the Numbers Club's headquarters would be established there, where they can look up mysterious phenomenons happening throughout the world, and therefore, locate the "Numbers".
Yuma tells them that Astral told him that now he got three "Numbers", some of his memories have returned. Yuma asked what he remember, and Astral says his enemy is Dr. Faker, who plans on using the hidden powers of the "Numbers" to destroy the Astral World; However, it is linked to this world. So, if the Astral World dies, this one will die as well. The Numbers Club then decides to save the world from Dr. Faker.[12]
Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL

In the spin-off manga Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL, Takashi forms a Dueling Team with Tetsuo, Kotori and Yuma, called Team ZEXAL. Yuma is accompanied by a Dueling Ghost called Astral, but he can only be seen by Yuma. By that way, when Yuma talks to him, the others think he is talking to himself. This, in addition with Yuma's arriving late for the team's first meeting, makes Kotori and Takashi worry about Yuma being the leader, and Tetsuo challenges him to a Duel - if Tetsuo wins, he will be the leader. Yuma accepts the challenge, and wins, so that others accept him as the leader.[13]
