The Takamachi (高町) family is originally from Uminari City, Earth, but its youngest members reside in Midchilda, as of ViVid. It was first introduced in Triangle Heart 3 and, consequentially, in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.
Etymology[]
The family name consists of kanji meaning "tall, high" (高 taka) and "town" (町 machi).
History[]
In Triangle Heart 3, the Takamachi family is revealed to have descended from the well-established samurai clan Fuwa. In fact, Shirō Takamachi's surname at birth was Fuwa, but he changed it when he married Momoko Takamachi, presumably to throw the many enemies he has made in bodyguard business off his trail.
The Takamachi family owns a house in the Uminari City, Japan and a bakery cafe named Midori-ya, operated by Shiro and Momoko.
