“

Just listen to me, you stupid cat.

”

Takeru is the least sociable of the group of investigators, often insulting the protagonist by calling her slow or "dumb cat" (he later calls her that with affection), he justifies this in the fact that he dislikes stupid people and doesn't wish to waste time on explaining everything to them.

Although he is rude, he does care about the protagonist and his coworkers, though he doesn't often show it. Like Aiji and Mineo, he had previously worked for the police, then later quit for personal reasons. He worked in the Cyber Crimes Division for three months before quitting.

It's quickly pointed out that Takeru has a sweet tooth, always requesting donuts and coffee with plenty of cream and sugar. When he goes out to drink, he often picks sweet, fruity drinks over bitter ones.

Takeru seems to enjoy food in general and has a large appetite despite being so thin, often eating microwavable food, due to the least amount of time and effort spent on cooking.

Having grown up in America, his tastes lean more towards American dishes, though he will still eat Japanese food, but is pickier about what he eats. He often has the protagonist eat what he doesn't want. This usually leads to Takeru describing the protagonist as a dog and he needs to feed her or give her treats to praise her. His usual treat is a donut, which he doesn't normally share with others.

Spoilers

The reason Takeru moved to Japan was due to the Swords and Firearms Law. Unlike in America, civilians in Japan are not allowed to own or handle guns. Takeru took comfort in this law due to his mother being killed by a gangster, pushing Takeru out of the line of fire. Due to his fear of guns, even as a police officer, he refused to carry the one he was issued. Once the law was revoked and the government began to issue guns to all civilians inside Shinjuku, Takeru left the police department, feeling the government was failing him and couldn't do anything from the inside. He originally didn't seek out to work for the police and was recruited after winning a hacking competition. He learned his computer skills from his father and later became interested in hacking. During his route, Takeru takes great pleasure in teasing both the protagonist and her rebellious little brother in private, such as calling Kazuki "Little Brother" and insisting on being called "Big Brother" when he's pretending to be the protagonist's boyfriend.
