Cyril Takayama is an American magician of Japanese, French, and Moroccan descent. He is perhaps best known for his magic performances around Japan. Cyril Takayama was born and raised in Hollywood, California. His father is a Japanese from Okinawa prefecture in Japan, while his mother is French of Moroccan descent, both of whom were beauticians. Cyril Takayama had an eventful yet troubled upbringing. A recent profile in Magic describes him being expelled from school at 15 and then dropping out of school at the age of 16. Cyril's father, upset at his behavioral problems, sent him to Japan. While traveling he got off the plane during a stopover in Tokyo and never got back on. Cyril wound up busking on the streets of Shinjuku, and at times had so little money that he could afford just one meal a day. He attempted to contact Japanese magic circles though they viewed him as an outsider. At the age of 17, Cyril met a rich Japanese businessman who saw his talent and employed him to work in his hotel paying him for each short range performance 4 to 5 days a week. For two years Cyril performed as a magician for weddings and parties. Within 2 months Cyril created his own stage magic show. Ito, impressed at Cyril's progress, sent Cyril to magic assemblies and competitions. In 1991, Cyril's dedication began to pay off. He was awarded a top prize by magic's international governing body, the International Federation of Magic Societies, as well in 1994. In 1992, he joined the International Brotherhood of Magicians. In 2001, he and his partner Jane won the Golden Lion Award at Siegfried and Roy’s World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas. He is a member of the short-lived television series T.H.E.M. In 2007 he won first place in The Magic Woods Awards, Best Magician Category.

Cyril is a name inextricably linked to the history and development of Christianity, particularly the oldest and Catholic forms of Christianity. While it has found some use in the Roman Catholic West and among Anglicans, it retains far more significance among the Orthodox, both Eastern and Oriental, as well as Eastern Catholics. The most popularly known user of the name Cyril, is the St. Cyril who lived in the 9th Century, who with his brother Methodius, is honored as Apostle to the Slavs, and after whom the Cyrillic alphabet was named. But, the first well known Cyril, was the 4th Century St. Cyril who was Patriarch of Jerusalem and a famed theologian and champion of the orthodox faith of the undivided Catholic Church. However, the greatest of all those bearing the name Cyril was the fifth century Patriarch and Pope of Alexandria, St. Cyril of Alexandria who is equally honored and respected by all Christian Churches that call themselves Catholic, whether Roman, Eastern or Oriental. In fact, his leadership and contribution to the Christian Church and the development of Chrisian theology were important enough that he was not only declared a Doctor (Roman Catholicism) or Father (Orthodoxy) of the Church, but titled as 'Pillar of the Faith' and 'Seal of the Fathers'. More recently, leaders of Eastern Christianity have continued to use the name. These include the include Cyril VI, Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus.

Saints Cyril and Methodius (Greek: Êýñéëëïò êáé Ìåèüäéïò) were two Byzantine Greek brothers born in Thessaloniki in the 9th century, who became missionaries of Christianity among the Slavs of Great Moravia and Pannonia. Through their work they influenced the cultural development of all Slavic peoples for which they received the title "Apostles to the Slavs." They are credited with devising the Glagolitic alphabet, the first alphabet used to transcribe the Old Church Slavonic language. The Cyrillic alphabet, which was based on the Glagolitic alphabet, is used in a number of Slavic and other languages. After their death, their pupils continued their missionary work among other Slavic peoples. Both brothers are venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church as saints with the title of "Equals to the Apostles." In 1880, Pope Leo XIII introduced their feast into the calendar of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1980, Pope John Paul II declared them Co-patrons of Europe, together with Saint Benedict of Nursia.
