Taka isn't usually a hypocrite. In fact, most people would say he's never hypocritical. But that's just not true. He tells everyone that they need to focus on their health and well being but Taka himself NEVER focuses on his own well being! He will stay up DAYS on end without eating or drinking anything just to get a simple school project done. It's gotten to the point where Mondo, Leon, and Chihiro have to FORCE him to take a break and sleep! All three of them are quite worried for their friend. They genuinely think that they'll find Taka slumped over his work dead one day.
