Riku has a bright and cheerful personality and is able to become friends with anybody. He is very athletic and has good motor skills but only has an average cardiovascular fitness. Riku has also been recruited for several other clubs (specifically basketball, volleyball and table tennis) in the school, more for his speed and agility rather than his ball skills. He has great acceleration and poor parkour skills because while he can jump and hurdle, he can never land safely.

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.
