I have found a manga name called 覇王伝説 **驍**. Then, I have looked up several
Kanji dictionary and they do not give such the pronunciation, the almost close
one is 「たけし」.

question
kanji manga
Why is the Kanji 「驍」read 「たける」?
I guess it is simply because when it comes to people names there are sometimes
just a lot more readings than usual. Have you tried to look as well on some
人名漢字辞典?

If you look 驍 up [here](http://kanji.reader.bz/) for example, "Takeru" is
listed as a possible reading. There is a discussion about the readings of such
kanji
[here](http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1128291216) as
well. Hope it helps, as simple as the answer is.
