In the story, it was mentioned that Reiko died young. So, who is Takashi's
dad/mom and who gave birth to him/her if Reiko died young?

Who is Takashi's dad/mom?


The backstory of Takashi's childhood and parents are explained in anime's 4th
season, from episode 11-13.

Takashi's parents have already passed away, and their names were never been
revealed. His mom died just after he gave birth to Takashi. His dad died few
years later, before Takashi's taking elementary school (where he was already
living with his relative's family). Because of this and his bad childhood
experience, he became traumatic and decided to forget his childhood memory.
This is the reason why there's little info about his parents.
