**Takeru Hayato** (一文字 丈瑠, *Hayato Takeru*) is Rescue Red of the Rescuers. He is the prime version of Takeru Hayato.

## Conception

### Suit Design

His first appearance as Rescue Red is reused from Heroic Sentai Rescuers and Hero Sentai Rescue Paw. Rescue Blazer's suit is the same design from Emergency Rescue Sentai Rescueger but was remade using Starlight Rescue Red's suit. When first appeared in the Island of Shadows his rescue badge was replaced with Spiritual Timer, while in Leiamaru his suit was updated once more now with silver linings on his arms, extended shoulder pads, modified gloves that also match the silver linings and the badge on his helmet was replaced with the Rescue Mark.

## History

### Movies and other events

#### Rescuing Astramaru

Before his appearance on Earth, Takeru had rescued Astramaru, whom was held captive by Alien Nutsodokugaeru and telling Astramaru that Leiamaru is still alive.

#### Project Intruders

Takeru Hayato\* known as Rescue Red Prime ("Red Warrior") is the main major plot element of Project Intruders.

## Personality

### Original

He is an unpredictable sort of character always curious. Once he sets goal, he moves forward without flinching, no matter what. But he is always a caring person, he's the type that struggles with taking on too much. He is very strong willed and once he sets his mind on something, he'll never change it.

However, Takeru is not without his weaknesses. He treasures the ones that are close to him, trying his best to look out for and protect them as much as he can. As such, he cannot bear to lose the friends that he has made.

His strategies however is described at best as a puzzle.

### Adult

A calm man, whose words are few. A compliment from this man is rare, a man with a serious personality who is hard on himself. Always training up his abilities with weapons, and never misses. He was stoic, cold, and no nonsense type of person, opting the most convenient or easiest ways out of trouble.

Underneath that cool & cold exterior lies the heart that values family above else. He will lash out in anger and revenge on those who harm his friends and family.
