Appearance
Takuzo has black hair and brown eyes and he was only seen with Fujimi Academy uniform. He also has a sports towel hanging around his neck.

History
Little is known of Takuzo's history. He and his girlfriend were acquainted with Yamada, and were suprised by his art. Takuzo also took care of a stray cat along with Naomi for a time.

Personality
Takuzo appears quite protective of his friends, telling them to stay back when a group Them approaches. His love for Naomi is strong, using his last words to tell her to run, a request she did not honor.

Plot
Takuzo is first seen with Naomi and three other students fighting against some of Them on a stairwell of the school, when they are saved by Takashi and his friends. Naomi confirms that none of them have been bitten and quickly accepts Takashi's offer to join in their escape.

When the group reaches the entrance, they find it swarmed by Them. Realizing that no one from either group wants to volunteer, Takashi goes down to test Saya Takagi's theory that They only react to sound. He tosses a shoe at a locker, causing the undead to walk over to the other side. Takashi gestures for Takuzo and the others to hurry as they run outside. On the way out, however, one of Takuzo's group accidently bangs his pole on the railing, attracting Their attention. Takashi tells everyone to run and they are forced to fight their way to the bus.

Running, Takuzo is eventually surrounded by Them. Though he succeeds in killing one of Them, another grabs his sports towel and refuses to let go, causing the boy to drop his bat. He tries to punch it away, but it proves unrelenting and bites his arm, followed by another who bites the other arm. Takuzo is tackled to the ground while letting out an agonizing scream. Naomi sees this and panicks. Takuzo uses his last words to tell his girlfriend to escape. Despite this, including Saya telling her that he was doomed, Naomi refused to honor her boyfriend's wishes and ran back to Takuzo in tears, only to be killed as well.
