Biography
The leader of the group and the oldest at 23. He is a specialist in karate and a Formula One driver. He was spotted by Sugata a year prior to the beginning of the series while rescuing a woman and her child. When he was challenged by Sugata, he did not back down and Sugata offered him a spot on the Maskman team, anticipating the invasion of Tube. His love for Mio and desire to find her is his motivation. He mastered the technique known as "God Hand", but he would have a horrible time using this unwieldy technique. He is also revealed to be a brat when Igam tries to eliminate him by travelling into the past. Near the end of the series, he managed to defeat Baraba singlehandedly out of rage in battle. He eventually reunited with Mio in the end but split up with her having no other choice.

Led by his Liveman successor Red Falcon, he appeared as one of 24 previous Red Rangers in Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai together with fellow Red Rangers from his predecessors AkaRanger to Red Flash to his successors from Red Falcon to TimeRed.

Years later, Takeru fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Zgormin commanders. Kaijou noticed the fleet moving towards them, he gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The Red Mask powers are later used by Captain Marvelous via the Ranger Keys.

After the Zangyack Empire was defeated by the Gokaigers, Marvelous returned the Ranger Keys to thier orginal owners. Takeru and his teammates have their powers again
