Taka-Arashi is a fictional character in the Sega video game series Virtua Fighter.

His only appearance was in Virtua Fighter 3. His fighting technique is sumo. He did not make any further appearances in the series because he was too difficult to integrate. This was infuriating for many Virtua Fighter fans, as he is the only character to be dropped from the series. In VF tradition (and unlike in its rival game Tekken) all characters remain in every new version after their initial appearance, increasing the size and complexity of the roster. He, in this case, is similar to Ganryu or E. Honda.

Taka does, however, make a small appearance in Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution as one of the eighteen collectable Virtua Fighter character emblems in the Quest Mode.
