“

Let's talk about not what you like, but what you hate, Master!

”

Ene (エネ) is a cyber girl who lives in Shintaro's computer and becomes the sixth member of the Mekakushi Dan.

She is secretly Shintaro's former schoolmate Takane Enomoto (榎本 貴音 Enomoto Takane). She was the classmate of Haruka, student of Kenjirou, and upperclassman of both Shintaro and Ayano.

Due to her unspecified illness, which causes her to frequently faint and not feel rested even after long periods of sleep, she was put into a special class consisting of just Haruka and and Kenjirou. Two years before the start of the series, she lost her body and became Ene.

Appearance

In the art used for Jinzou Enemy, Ene has long, teal hair and blue eyes. She wears a zipped up jersey that has blue sleeves, shoulder panels, and collar and white torso panels. She also wears a black pleated skirt with a teal trim. She later wears this same outfit with her updated appearance in Route XX of Losstime Memory.

Ene's eyes are large and light blue. She is always seen with black headphones and light turquoise structures on her cheeks. Her feet are non-existent, and her legs "scatter" at the ankles to resemble pixels. Her light blue hair has loose bangs and spiky layers around her two pigtails, which end with straight edges. In promotional art for the anime and in the short film, her hair has an emphasized turquoise gradient at its ends. In all Routes, Ene wears black thigh highs that have a teal stripe running up each front. Above each thigh high is a teal dot and then another vertical line that continues the one below it.

In most Routes, Ene wears a long, zipped-up dark blue jersey with a thin white stripe going up each oversized sleeve. She also wears a plain black pleated skirt.

As Takane, she has narrow brown eyes and black hair that has straight-cut bangs but is otherwise styled similarly to Ene's. Her high school uniform consists of a white, short-sleeved button-up shirt and a pink and black plaid skirt over shorts with black shoes. In the winter, she wears a creamy long-sleeved cardigan over her uniform, which is the same outfit she wears when visiting the Kagerou Daze in Mekakucity Actors. In the Novel Route, she is wearing a hospital gown when she returns to her body and later changes into a new hoodie. Her hair is much longer, too, which is unique to the Novel Route.

During her visit to the Kagerou Daze in most Routes, Takane wears the same outfit as her avatar in the video game of the same name. Her eyes are red instead of brown, and she wears a partially zipped black hoodie has with several yellow stripes adorning the sleeves over a hot-pink shirt and has a yellow cloth around her hips. She also wears a black gas mask that has red lenses, silver headphones, short black leggings and red sneakers. Below her left eye is presumably a small orange-yellow plaster.

In Summertime Record and after Mekakucity Actors, Takane wears a jacket that is very similar to Ene's except that its sleeves are shortened or rolled up to just below the elbow. She also seems to be wearing the lower half of her outfit from Headphone Actor with short black leggings, red sneakers and a yellow garment tied somewhat lopsided around her waist.

In the short film, Ene wears a different outfit that consists of a button-up white cardigan that has thin blue accents, very large sleeves and the letters "SPDG" across its torso and blue sweat shorts that have white stripes on its outer seams. Her headphones are also turquoise instead of black.

Personality

Ene is a cheerful, cheeky and self-proclaimed "Super Pretty Cyber Girl" who seems to have boundless energy due to her lack of body.

Loud and brazen, she goes out of her way to annoy Shintaro with daily pranks such as changing his passwords, rearranging his files, and blaring alarms from his speakers. Shintaro recalls that Ene was polite to him at first, but she began to act out and annoy him about a week after she entered his computer. Despite this, she is still shown to be caring, and seen when she apologizes when she causes Shintaro to accidentally spill soda over his keyboard and mouse and how she befriends his sister, Momo.

Before losing her body and becoming Ene, Takane was a snappy and aggressive individual with low energy due to her illness, which she internally acknowledges strained her relationship with most people and prevents her from easily making friends. She usually wore a scowl, would get irritated easily, and would show violent tendencies towards others. She would also do her best to hide her true self, such as her gamer identity and her genuine emotions, from anyone, especially Haruka. When Ayano tells Takane that Shintaro needs someone selfish to guide him, she wonders who could be as self-absorbed and secretive as him before it is heavily implied that she thinks about herself.

Her main hobby is playing video games (usually well into the night), and she especially enjoys the first-person shooter online game Dead Bullet -1989-, though she believes this to be embarrassing for her to be interested in because of the game's goriness. Regardless, Takane once placed second place in a national tournament for the game, and her skills and rank were noticeable enough that, also to her embarrassment, she gained popularity and fans as her online handle, "Dancing Flash Ene".

As seen in her narrations in Kagerou Daze II -a headphone actor-, Takane tends to be anxious, often worrying to extreme degrees about whatever is currently troubling her and especially Haruka's opinions about her. She can easily succumb to tears at this point, too. When overwhelmed, such as when she left Haruka at the hospital and even during her experience in the Kagerou Daze, Takane is shown to literally run away. Both times, she is instead convinced to run towards her goal: telling Haruka her true feelings. This tendency of hers is also shown in Manga Route 2, when Takane hears about Haruka's death in person and thus jumps out of a window.

In the novels, Takane admits to Shintaro that she stayed with him as Ene because she worried that he would have ended up committing suicide if left alone. In the Music Route, Ene fails to affect Shintaro's depression about his friends' deaths and has a much more subdued personality as a result. She repeatedly asks him to pay attention only to her and to forget the past, but eventually Shintaro is annoyed enough with her to kill her and then, when realizing what he had done, himself.

Eye Ability

• Opening Eyes (目が覚める Me ga Sameru): Ene's eye ability allows her to split her spirit from her body, which then can reside in electronic devices (such as a cellphone) as a cyber-being. While in her cyber-being form, she is unaffected by her body's illnesses and thus is naturally more energetic. Although she can be deleted from a device, she will reappear as long as it is connected to the Internet. It seems that she can be killed if the device she is in is destroyed. She cannot return to her body if she, as Ene, is not physically by it in a nearby device, and she cannot sense where her body is after being separated from it. After being reunited with her body, Takane is still able to send herself to electronic devices as Ene, but doing so causes her body to lose consciousness.

• Before the revelation of Takane Enomoto's name, she was often called by a fan-made name: Actor. This was based off her song itself, Headphone Actor.
• Her original appearance had a very close resemblance to Hatsune Miku.
• Ene once broke the fourth wall by acknowledging her existence as a manga character, as she complained about being unable to do anything for the entire chapter.
• In almost all forms of media, Ene refers herself at least once as "Super Pretty Cyber Girl" (スーパープリティ電脳ガール Sūpā Puriti Dennō Gāru), so much so that this phrase ended up being displayed behind her in the Daze MV.
• As well as constantly wreaking havoc upon Shintaro's computer, Ene is also shown to have a collection of her master's voice samples.
• "Ene" is a shortening of Takane's own name, "Takane Enomoto", taking the "E" from "Enomoto" and the "ne" from "Takane". Her full online name was Dancing Flash Ene (閃光の舞姫・エネ Senkō no Maihime Ene). Her username is also shown as Ene_SENKOU in the 2019 gamer themed merchandise.
• When Takane saw Haruka's designs for the Headphone Actor game, she requested for the final boss "Actor" to be changed in some way because it looked too much like her. The character's color palette coincidentally became similar to that of Ene's, and Takane's avatar took the character's previous appearance instead. Kenjirou and Haruka nicknamed the two versions "Takane No.2" and "Blue Takane" respectively.
• Her eye power is used as the narration title for "Ene no Dennou Kikou" in the Mekakucity Days crossfade.
• She, along with Momo and Hibiya, do not formally join the Mekakushi Dan in Manga Route 2.
