Early Life
Kujou Takayuki was born the eldest son of head of the Kujou family at the time. His father was the elder brother of Kujou Shohei, but Takayuki was never able to meet his uncle. Takayuki was born a couple of years after Saori, and therefore was born after Shohei's death. Despite this, he bore a deep grudge towards the remaining two Yukimura members, like his father and the rest of the Kujou family.Education at Teyvat Academy
While at Teyvat Academy, Takayuki was in the Inazuma Dorm and was part of the Tri-Commission, specifically the sub-unit, the Tenryou Commission and was even a captain of one of the teams - although the sport he played was unknown. He was in the year below Kamisato Takeshi, Kaedehara Kazuki, Nishihara Kanaha, Shimamura Kayo, Fujimori Jun'ichi, Hino Naozane, Yukimura Saori, and Alice Neuner - a Mondstadt Class student. Despite not being in her class or year, he made it his personal mission to make Saori's life difficult out of his intense hatred for her causing the death of his uncle. However, he was stopped at nearly attempt by Kazuki, who was insistent on doing everything he could to make sure that Takayuki didn't make Saori's life hell. As such, he grew to hate Kazuki and the Kaedehara family as well. Takayuki graduated in 2008 and soon after married Kurokawa Chisuzu, who had been in his year and class during his studies.Birth of Masahito and Kamaji, and Adoption of Sara
Following their marriage, Chisuzu gave birth to their first child in January 2010, a son that they name Masahito. Then in August 2011, she gave birth against to their second child, another son that they named Kamaji. When the boys were a few years old, Chisuzu learnt about an orphaned young girl called Sara, who was only a year older than Masahito and two years older than Kamaji. Under his wife's insistence, Takayuki eventually agreed to adopt Sara, and bestowed onto her the Kujou name - thus making her the eldest of the Kujou children.Yukimura Yukiko's birth
In early 2017, Takayuki was interested to learn that the wife of Fujimori Jun'ichi, Nakahara Akari, was rumoured to be infertile. As Takayuki had been in the year below Jun'ichi and Akari during their school years and had known them, he was especially interested. Even more so when, not long after that, another rumour spread that the Fujimori family had been hit with a drought that had killed almost all of their silk flowers and left them without income. Along with it came a rumour that Fujimori Jun'ichi, a few months prior, had taken Yukimura Saori in as his concubine. After learning this, Takayuki was amongst those who spread rumours about Saori's cursed existence, and was greatly amused to further learn in December 2017, that the child Jun'ichi had sired on Saori in hopes of her producing a son to be his heir was born a girl bearing her mother's likeness - which Takayuki said was also caused by Saori's curse and that the Fujimori family were doomed. A few months after, Jun'ichi came to Takayuki and asked that the Kujou family not say anything about the Fujimori family's bankruptcy or Yukiko's illegitimacy to the Kamisato family so as to not jeopardise the new marriage arrangement Jun'ichi and Takeshi had set up between Takeshi's son, Ayato, and Jun'ichi's newborn daughter, Yukiko. Takayuki agreed, solely because he was interested to see how it would play out.During Roleplay
Death of Kamisato Takeshi
In May 2027, Takayuki learnt of Kamisato Takeshi's death the month before, and was shocked to hear about it as the news came out of nowhere. He was among the families who wondered if the marriage agreement between the Fujimori family and the Kamisato family would continue as the decision was now in the hands of Ayato, who had this marriage arrangement made against his will when he was a child. But the arrangement continued, and the other noble families kept quiet about the secrets Jun'ichi asked them to keep.Naganohara and Kamisato marriage
In 2029, Takayuki attended the wedding between Naganohara Yoimiya and Kamisato Ayaka, a strategic marriage done to save the Kamisato family who were on the brink of collapse - due partly to remaining instability in the family following Takeshi's premature death.Yukiko and Ayato's wedding
In February 2037, Takayuki attended another Kamisato family wedding - this time it was the wedding between Kamisato Ayato, Takeshi's son and the current head of the family, and Fujimori Yukiko - the girl who had been born Yukimura Yukiko, the young daughter of the cursed Yukimura Saori. A few months later, in May 2037, when Yukiko announced that she was pregnant, Takayuki begrudgingly congratulated the couple - solely out of respect to Ayato, as he held a strong dislike to Yukiko as well, for being Saori's daughter. Although he later expressed his condolences to Yukiko and Ayato when it was made public that Yukiko has miscarried in June 2037, Takayuki was not entirely unhappy to learn that there wouldn't be more people with Yukimura blood being born.
