Takao Dayu^WP (高尾太夫, Takao Dayū^?) is the Master of Berserker in the Waxing Moon Ritual of Fate/Samurai Remnant.

Profile

Background

A courtesan at Miura-ya, a brothel in Yoshiwara. She is said to be one of the most beautiful women in Edo and attracts many men including feudal lords. "Dayu" is the highest rank of courtesan, and she is one of the three most popular Dayu.

Learning of the Waxing Moon Ritual, Dayu concluded that she could use the wish to help the people of the Edo slums. With this in mind, she approached Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro and requested to be allowed to participate despite having no magical ability. Yasuhiro agreed to her request, making it conditional to her acting as his subordinate, and grants her Command Spells.

Berserker is summoned.

Later when a man becomes violent towards another courtesan, Dayu interferes, but is overpowered; however, before the man can hurt them, Dayu's Command Spells activate and summon Berserker, who proceeds to introduce herself as a god of wrath before killing the man.

She later manages to tame Rogue Berserker after he battles Berserker.

Appearance

Dayu is considered the most beautiful woman in all of Edo.

Personality

Dayu desperately wishes to help the people of the Edo slums and participated in the Waxing Moon Ritual with the intent of using the wish to do so. She is aware that she is lacking in fighting ability compared to the other masters and has concluded that her only way of making up for that is through the uses of cunning and deceit.

Abilities

Compared to the other Masters of the Waxing Moon Ritual, Dayu is far behind in fighting ability. She has zero experience as a mage and normally wouldn't be chosen as a Master, but she she was granted Command Spells by Yasuhiro.
