On Metru Nui, Takua was not very skilled as a toolmaker, but he loved to travel more than almost any other Matoran. He was always visited other metru and collecting souvenirs. Through a business in his home called "Takua's Trade Goods," he traded these souvenirs for other things he wanted. Unfortunately, he often liked to make his trips during working hours, and the Vahki had to haul him back.1
