Character outline
Dōgen is the father of Mitsuomi Takayanagi and Masataka Takayanagi. is a character in the manga and anime series Tenjho Tenge. He is the president of the Executive Council is a character in the manga and anime series Tenjho Tenge. He is a member of the Juken Club He typically wears a hat, that casts a shadow over his face and glasses. He is a bald, elderly appearing man, who typically carries a cane with him. He was best friends with Kaima Natsume, until Kaima was killed by Shin Natsume. is a character in the manga and anime series Tenjho Tenge. He is the founder of the Team KATANA and the Juken Club After Kaima's death Dōgen essentially raised Shin and trained him in the martial arts. This enabled Shin to steal the Takayanagi Family secret technique, the Forged Iron Needle Attack.
Dōgen typically acts as a catalyst to the story. Whenever the big events take place Dōgen usually makes an appearance. He typically handles things indirectly, merely pulling strings so things will go his way. If that doesn't work he is not above more direct intervention.
He, at times, seems like he is a relatively good person; however, he will do immoral things to get what he wants. In Dogen's eyes the ends justify the means. During his time as the head of the Takayanagi Family, he gathered power users from all over the world, so he could study the resonance effect. He has an obsession with the idea of the creation of a "True Warrior", a god-like warrior essentially. He attempted to make his eldest son, Mitsuomi into one. He seems to believe that in order to make a true warrior, their must be an evil to fight. He let Shin become that evil, as he allowed Shin to kill innocents in hope that it would force Mitsuomi to fight him. These less than moral means backfired, leading to Mitsuomi's heart condition and the eventual removal of Dōgen from power by Mitsuomi.
He has since been living in an apartment with Masataka and working in the business sector. Although no longer powerful, he still intends to create the true warrior. This time by twisting Ichiyo Nagi's plan to destroy all the Red Feathers. He has teamed with Mitsuomi to make this happen, however Mitsuomi intends to carry out the plan as originally intended, unlike his father.
Techniques & Abilities

Techniques
- Uraate (裏当て?)
- Translation: "Backing"
- CMX translation: "Reverse Striking"
- This is fulcrum-based transference skill; an example of Ki transmission that teaches one to shift the point and force of impact by striking the dead center of an object. At expert-levels, a practitioner can transmit the force of impact wherever they please, as long as a medium exists to transmit their power through. This technique forms the basis for most Ki-based techniques used throughout the series.
- Ryuukei Qigong - Tashinkou
- CMX Translation: Dragon Style Qigong Forged Iron Needle
- This technique is the greatest of secrets within the Takayanagi clan, passed down for generations. It is a technique which uses the fulcrum-based transference skill of "reverse striking" to transmit the user's power through the air. This is achieved by collecting the rotational force of one's motion until it forms unto a needle, forged by their own ki. At that point, that collected atmospheric force would then be directed from the circular motion into a straight line (via punch), where it is sent barreling into the target.
- Ki Dome
- The name of the technique is never said, but Dōgen can make a dome of ki around himself. In the anime, it seems to be used as some kind of protective shield, although it wasn't effective against Mitsuomi. In the manga it can knock back those around him preventing them from attacking.

Tournament Arc
Dōgen's latest appearance may be the most surprising. As Shirō Tagami and Emi Isuzu enter a limo with Mitsuomi, Shiro is shocked to see Mitsuiro Tokuan Shōjō and Hirohiko Myouun Kabane in the limo as well; Mitsuomi tends to dislike members of Red Feather Families. is a character in the manga and anime series Tenjho Tenge. He is the 3rd in command of the Executive Council is a character in the manga and anime series Tenjho Tenge. She is the current Vice-president of the Executive Council is a character in the Manga series Tenjho Tenge. She is a recent addition to the Executive Council is a character in the manga series Tenjho Tenge. He is a recent addition to the Executive Council Shiro is most perplexed as to why Dōgen is in the limo as well. [5] It seems that he has been working with Mitsuomi, by overseeing plan that is being put into action to eliminate red feathers. He reveals that this plan was isn't his own, but actually is very detailed and specific strategy of Ichiyō Nagi that he found in the Takayanagi library. This is a character guide to the Manga and Anime series Tenjho Tenge. Dōgen did update the plan by doing analysis of the data with the present situation to run scenarios on the Takayanagi supercomputer; this is what is contained on the chip F was after. He tells Emi, Shirō, and Shinobu that after 400 years all the pieces for the plan are finally together and all they have to do is play their respective roles.
Although he is working with Mitsuomi to put Ichiyo's plan into action, Mitsuomi and Dogen have distinctly different intentions. Ichiyo's plan involves a large concentration of ki, special powers, and bringing these powers into the forefront. By collecting all these powers in one "form" they can all be destroyed at once. Dogen believes that form will be a preverbial "god", essentially the "True Warrior" he tried to turn Mitsuomi into. He intends to control this true warrior to regain power. Mitsuomi says that if you have a means for the creation of a god, its logical that you also have the means to destroy one. If the true warrior is created Mitsuomi plans to destroy it himself, completing his plan in the process. The members of the Executive Council have developed a great distaste for Dogen as a result of his intentions; Shiro Tagami comments that he would gladly kill Dogen when he is no longer useful, despite the dishonor of it.
