He usually wears glasses, but during practice he uses contacts. He is a first-year student at Honan Academy and is one of the stride club's runners, and predominantly an anchor (final runner).

Takeru is always cool and stoic with sober eyes. He has little interest in things other than playing Stride. In middle school, Takeru was a famous Stride player in the under 15's category. He tends to feel people's legs to determine one's talent. Takeru has great cardiovascular fitness and running speed, so Nana must delay the call for him to start running. Despite this, he only has average parkour techniques.

The reason for his fixation on Riku is unknown.

The series revolves around a closed-down "Stride" club at Hounan Academy. First-year high school students Takeru Fujiwara and Nana Sakurai attempt to restart the club, but they must recruit six members for the team. They ask Riku Yagami to join, but he turns them down by saying that Stride is the one thing he doesn't want to do. However, Takeru and Nana drag Riku into the clubroom to try to convince him.
