Appearance
Kakeru has an average height. He has short brown hair and light brown eyes. He wears masculine, but casual outfits in multiple episodes.

Personality
In his youth, Kakeru is a mischievous and a wayward boy. He always bullies Uta, thus Uta becomes more hateful to him. Miki and Mana somehow hate him also. Some time before the start of the series, Kakeru realized his wrongdoing and vows that he will change into a kind, remorseful, helpful, and gentle guy who always protect Uta when she is in danger. Kakeru starts to have a crush on Uta, but he would never tell his affection to everyone, not even Uta and Flat, because of his shyness. As time progressed, he was forgiven by Uta and her friends because he changed and they became friends for real. In Sukkiri onwards, he has the courage to date Uta, much to Masahiko dismay. He tends to call Uta and her friends by last name, except for Jun of course.
