Some people might not know this yet but Takua is not Ta-Koronan.Yes, that lovable little amnesiac tohunga is nomad. he falls from the sky just as the toa do(I've seen pics of it), when he wakes up, he doesn't remember having been there before (he doesn't know anybody) but still remembers the island(knows how to get to Ga-Koro), and he has color variations not known to any one village (sky-blue mask, yellow arms, red feet). If he is the main tohunga character, he couldn't be from one village without signifying that it is more important than the other villages.If anyone has theories on where Takua the chronicler came from, please tell me. I am at a loss as to his origin.

You ah confuising me, dude. Uh. Takua? Uh. Hm. So, watcha sayin tis he's not from around dare. Ight? And yo askin if he's from up dare, ight? I dunno. Huh! I'll work on dat.

takua is a takoran

maybe he was from an anchint village where there were no separate villages. then some day he may have gone into space and has been in suspended animation for who knows how long

uhh takua is a takoron but got kicked out of the villege because the others feard is adventurees ways and some how he lost his memory it says so in the mnolg

F.Y.I., Takua has a red body, red arms, yellow feet and a light(sky) blue Pakari mask and also I agree with nuava about him being kicked out

that is what vakama said on the mnolg

I read that he got the Pakari from a Nui Jaga, otherwise, he looks Ta-Koran.

Hey FireDragon,there is a version of Takua with the yellow body and red feet ya know.

i think ur right maybe on one of his adventures he got injured and when he woke up he had forgotten everything he once knew

The first time we sa Takua, he was in the gameboy --- where he's collecting all the stuff so the Toa could come, right?  People keep saying he's a Toa, but he's not --- he's the Tohunga for all the villages.  

Then he's in the online game, walking around, writing everything he sees into a book.

i have the game and ur right he goes around collecting the toa stones so that the toa can come to the island of Mata Nui i dont know about the game

I found out that they had a mess-up with Takua in the MNOLG and that his arms and body were yellow and his feet, red. It had me confused for awhile until I found which way was right.You might be right about him being banished from Ta-Koro, but that would still make you think Ta-Koro is a central village of the story.

Takua was a Ta-Koran but he was exiled for resons that have yet to be revealed to us. During the game boy game be colected the toa stones then he and the Turaga used them to summon the toa and they shot light into the sky. Takua was carred with the light and came crashing down on the beach were tahu had landed.( Slaming into the beach will make anyones memory fuzzy) The online game picks up there.

As for the toa thing there is a rumor that in the Mask of Light Takua will use the mask of light to become the toa of light.

my friend at LEGO (yes, the same one with that big secret) says that takua does NOT come from mata nui.  As the first guy said, he falls from the sky.  however, because of his wild personality, he often takes up residence in le-koro, because of their party lifestile

I'll clear this up. He is believed to be Ta-Koronan, but he may just be a wanderer.

Known facts: He saved all of the villages twice. Once in GBA and once online.

He is the reason the Toa came to mata-nui. He collected the toa stones, which summoned Makuta. In the MNOLG, Vakama refers to the GBA game when he says that Takua found his staff.

After placing the Toa stones, he was launched into the sky and landed on the beach. He had lost memory of all things he had done.

As time passes, he slowly remembers things, which is why Vakama talks to him about what happened in the gba game.

He is, in fact, evil.  J/k.

takua is from... no where, just because the ta-koro people dont accept him doesnt mean he was from there.  that part, if not clear, is not then important in the bionicle storyline

are u sure i thought that he was a Ta-koroian

Considering that the Kanohi shift their color to match the wearer, I doubt that Takua's mask is from a Rahi.  I think that it's just the mask he wears.
The story about Takua the Toa was taken off MoD, likely because it was too much of a spoiler.  Maybe he wasn't supposed to tell in the first place...

It was taken down because the LEGO PR department was unable to confirm or deny it at the time.  They were uncomfortable with having it up there and not even knowing if it was true or not.  After discussing it with them, I volunteered to pull the story.

somewhere, i saw that takua was shot out of the mangai volcano
and fell onto the beach. then, he got up (with amnesia AND THE BLUE PAKARI)
and thats where the gba game starts, then, i think he ends back up on the beach somehow WITH THE BLUE PAKARI
AND AMNESIA (and thats where the MNOLG starts)

thats just what i think  

i am confused.  he is te toa from bz koro or everywhere

I thought that Takua was from paradise like Mata Nui, Makuta, and all 6 toa. That is what i belive. But someone also said that there is more than one Island,...**cough**, **HINT**, **cough**      

there is more than 1 island, it said so on some movie website
for the mask of light...DUH...

LOOK ON THE BIONICLE MAP

do you know what web site

What is the site? and by the way i do think that Takua came from paradise

Takua is a Ta-Koran.  Vakama said in the MNOLG: "The people of Ta-Koro feared your adventurous ways. They thought it would bring them ill luck." I think he was kicked out of Ta-Koro because the others thought he was bad luck. As for the Mask of Light, I think Mata Nui died and was reincarnated (reborn) as Takua. Maybe that's why he's always having amnesia. I certainly hope I'm right.


P.S. Purple Dave, is anything I said confirmed?

No.  You expect to just toss out a bunch of random theories and suddenly find out that they're all legit?  It doesn't work that way.  Some theories are easy to peg (Toa Nuva being good or bad had a 50/50 chance of being right), but others are just plain impossible to work with (like what color your MNOLG character would turn out to be).

Actually, that suggests that Takua is an outsider, and that the Ta-Koronans fear his foreign ways, not that he grew up with them.

As for the Mask of Light, I think Mata Nui died and was reincarnated (reborn) as Takua.

I seriously doubt LEGO would go so far as to kill one of their characters, albeit one that we've never actually seen before, but I have also begun to wonder if Takua will turn out to be Mata Nui in the end.

that would be cool if he was mata nui

Takua doesn't fall from the sky, he wakes up on a Onu-Koran beach at the beginning of the GBA game.  At the end, he surfs out of the Mangai volcano right into Kini-Nui, where he places the toa stones and summons the toa.  The energy of the laser caused by the toa stones shoots him into the air and he lands in front of Tahu's pod.  He does seem to be someone important, as Vakama says something like: "You may become great like one of the toa" in the MNOLG, and so far it(MNOLG)'s had shadows of the Bohrok and Nuva stories hidden in it. ("Beware the Swarm," "Protodermis,"...)

it does where???

What is mnolg.

Takua came from Ta-koro and is considered an outcast since the Ta-korans don't believe that villagers can wander around the island having adventures. O and Konohi Nuva MNOLG stands for Mata-Nui Online Game :pakarinu:

Quote (Konohi nuva @ Aug. 16 2002, 12:33)

What is mnolg.

The MNOLG is the abbriviation for "Mata Nui Online Game".
It's a cool game on www.bionicle.com.

Oh you mean that game that game's awesome I beat it though .

i think that after he somond the toa  he hit his head
and when he was found  his mask was gon
and so pohatu found a sky blue nui-jaga and  took the mask
and so he used some kind of powder stuf on it
and purafid it and gave it to takua
then takua woke up on the beech
simpel as that

I think that he's from the kini-nui or he might be a toa remember in the new movie he turn's into a toa I think that the great beings made a seventh toa but made him speshell so he had to evolv into a toa..

its in the lego studios backlot game

Quote (WH40kBug @ Aug. 14 2002, 4:33)

Some people might not know this yet but Takua is not Ta-Koronan.Yes, that lovable little amnesiac tohunga is nomad. he falls from the sky just as the toa do(I've seen pics of it), when he wakes up, he doesn't remember having been there

where did you see that pic?

A: He doesn't fall from the sky at the beginning of the game, he walks up on a Onu-Koran beach.  The only time he falls, is at the end of the GBA game just before the MNOLG(Mata Nui OnLine Game) when the toa-stone laser/energy beam shoots him into the air.  The picture WH40kBug saw was probably the title screen for the GBA game, but it's not him falling from the sky, it's an action scene of a Kahu chasing him.

B: Takua has always had red feet, yellow arms, and a blue pakari (even though sand bluelooks better) in the GBA game.  He did not get his mask from a Nui-Jaga or Tarakava, he's just always had it.  The MNOLG version was yet another mistake.

Thanks for the ideas, It has cleared up alot of my confusion, and I have heard that Takua might turn out to be Mata Nui. I guess lego is keeping his origin and his identity a mystery to keep everyone guessing (its sure working). Thanks again for the info.

I think you are right.  there is probably a makuta island, because their is a mata nui.

and if makutas alive then maybe thats where he's hiding.

HMMMM... I still kinda think takua is Ta Koronan.  I don't know!  Guess we'll find out in TMoL!  Oh Yeah! Off topic: revengeofthefallenturtles is right about the Le-Koronans! After you save Le-Koro from the Rama Swarm,  Every time you go back into the trees, the villagers are still dancing!    

    ! !

What the fuzz are you talking about Takua always having yellow arms and red feet.  The MNOLG was not a mistake.  The Lego studios Backlot game tohunga is named George,, Not takua

What we're talking about is the fact that Takua's name (and look) was first revealed as the default character in the GBA game, a few months before it was used in the MNOLG, and in the GBA he has a primary-blue Pakari, red feet, yellow arms, and what appears to be a tan torso.  Basically the same look as "George" from the Backlot game.  Besides, that's a script that he's holding, so the traditional conclusion would be that it's supposed to be the actor who plays Takua sitting in the coffee shop, not Takua himself.  The MNOLG has at least one other Matoran screwed up, since Hafu was officially released with a black Ruru, not a black Pakari.  Regardless, if Takua is used in either of the upcoming movies, hopefully people will stop trying to say that the MNOLG version is the correct one.  Of course, being a realist, I expect it will simply cause another rash of arguments...

Takua was around for a while to get the toa stones then he disapered and when tahu hit the beach takua did too right by tahus canister

Purple Dave is right about the color mix-ups. But whatever color he really is, he obviously does not follow a standard Matoran color scheme. I don't know how he showed up on Mata Nui, I don't have the GBA game, it SOUNDS like he was already there in the game. But apparently, from what Vakama says in the MNOLG, he lived in Ta-Koro for a time before being rejected or leaving on his own due to conflicts with the Ta-Koronans. That is about all I KNOW about him: he is an oddly-colored, nomadic Tohunga that used to live in Ta-Koro, and he has a special place in the destiny of Mata Nui.

My personal hunch is that he will be transformed somehow, into a Toa of Light as the rumor suggested, and/or into Mata Nui as PD suggested. The connection between Takua and light seems significant: Light issued from the Toa stones that he assembled. Light has all colors in it. Light often represents goodness and truth. Remember that Mata Nui descended to the island "like a burning star" -- again, light. And Makuta has often been associated with darkness, the domain of evil. That would be a fantastic ending to a chapter of Bionicle, and would fit well with the foreshadowing elsewhere in the storyline.

I think Takua is a nomadic Matoran who used to be a Ta-Matoran. He looks just as he looks in the MNOLG.
