Takuro Kaburagi works as a reporter documenting the Prime Mat tournament. His first encounter with Mao Lan unfolds during a rain-soaked night in an Osaka alley, where he observes her battling a group of thugs. Witnessing her combat prowess, he instantly identifies her as a potential Prime Mat contender. Amidst the chaos, he fumbles with his camera equipment but manages to capture a single photograph of Lan striking her signature martial arts stance.

His professional focus revolves around scouting and recording skilled female fighters for Prime Mat. This duty drives him to trail Lan’s activities relentlessly—tracking her spontaneous street fights and monitoring her training evolution. He chronicles pivotal moments in her journey, including her abrupt tournament enrollment orchestrated by her grandfather. Kaburagi also appears at Prime Mat’s official events, such as the public reveal where Lan’s participation is formally declared, linking his documentation to the tournament’s broader operations.

No details exist regarding his background, personal history, or character growth beyond his role as a Prime Mat reporter dedicated to capturing Lan’s early path and the tournament’s competitive dynamics.
