Since Kyousuke has a very open and friendly and direct personality, this was at odds with Takeru's closed and serious personality. Due to Kyousuke's involvement with the student council and Yuriko Koyanagi, the two of them were often together.

Takeru considers Kyousuke either an enemy, or at best, a bad friend. Takeru will sometimes try to scold Kakeru, but since Takeru doesn't usually do anything except just yelling, Kakeru will just shut himself inside his room. From a very young age, Takeru taught Kakeru to be wary of the Hori family. They both play the online game and often chat with each other in it. Kakeru is Takeru's son who are very similar in terms of both looks and personality. More than likely, Kozue is the one who wears the pants in their relationship. Normally, Kozue is somewhat submissive and deferential towards Takeru, but if Takeru ever badmouths her or goes against her, she'll immediately bear her fangs and Takeru will back down. When he's riled up, he has a tendency to stress odd syllables in words. In many ways, he is very similar to his son, especially in terms of facial and bodily expressions.

While he often has an angry or displeased look on his face, his bark is much worse than his bite and he won't back anything up with actions. Takeru looks extremely similar to Kakeru Sengoku with red hair, red eyes and he wears oval-shaped glasses.
