Biography

Origin

Takuya Yamashiro (Japanese: 山城 拓也, Hepburn: Yamashiro Takuya) was a Japanese male who became a motocross driver and was the son of the astrophysicist Dr. Hiroshi Yamashiro, and the man who would become his reality's Spider-Man. Whilst practicing on his motorbike, Takuya began to receive telepathic messages from Garia calling out to him. His sister, Shinko and Hitomi Sakuma asked for his assistance in investigating the crashed Leopardon but Takuya refused as he had a race to compete in. His father accepted this and set out with Shinko and Hitomi. Later, before leaving for the contest, Takuya received more messages from Garia and went to investigate. In the mountains he found Hitomi and Shinko who told Takuya their father had been attacked. Takuya found his dying father who asked him to continue his work into discovering what alien invaders were trying to conquer Earth. After his father died, Takuya was attacked by the Iron Cross Army and gravely injured and he fell into the cave where Garia was imprisoned. Garia saved his life by giving him the Spider Bracelet and Spider Extract and informed Takuya of the invasion of Professor Monster, as well as his personal history.

Back at his house, Garia told Takuya of his new costume and abilities and tested them out, before discovering the Iron Cross Army had kidnapped Professor Fujita. Spider-Man set out to confront the group and freed the Professor. He was then attacked by his first Machine Bem monster Boukunryu and found himself unable to defeat the monster, until he summoned Leopardon and unleashed its sword vigor and destroyed Boukunryu, vowing to defeat the rest of the Iron Cross Army. Takuya was later informed by Hitomi that a train had mysteriously overturned. They investigated and during the course of the investigation, the pair were attacked by the Iron Cross Army. Takuya had Hitomi flee so he could change into Spider-Man and was able to defeat the group, but Hitomi believed that Takuya had abandoned her. Later Takuya tracked down the Iron Cross Army and discovered Soutoukin was trying to crash another train, but was able to defeat him using Leopardon.
