Do you remove counters when taking damage in Magic the Gathering?

Nope, taking damage in MTG doesn't mean you remove counters from your creatures or other permanents. Damage and counters are handled separately. For example, if your creature has +1/+1 counters and takes damage, the counters stay put unless something specifically says to remove them.

Actually, no. Damage dealt to creatures or planeswalkers doesn't automatically remove any type of counters. Counters only leave if a card or effect explicitly says so. Think of damage and counters as operating on different layers of the game.

Short answer: No. Damage doesn't touch counters. Whether it's +1/+1 counters or loyalty counters on a planeswalker, they stay unless an effect specifically tells you to remove them.
