Takeru Fujiwara

He usually wears glasses but during practice he uses contacts. He is a firstyear student at Honan Academy and is one of the stride clubs 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 15s category. He tends to feel peoples legs to determine ones 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.
