Takurou Kimura, also known as Murataku, recurs throughout the Di Gi Charat franchise. He sports long blonde hair and comes from wealth, displaying a distinctive fashion sense with his typical white jacket, purple shirt, and a flower pin on his chest that varies in appearance. His personality centers on a strong appreciation for proper Japanese language; he visibly disapproves when other characters use non-standard speech patterns like "-nyo" or "-nyu". Kimura demonstrates significant affection for Petit Charat (Puchiko), persistently offering her attention and gifts despite her usual annoyance or indifference. Puchiko, however, does not hold complete animosity towards him, acknowledging his protection from Piyoko's attacks and his role in facilitating her kindergarten attendance. Kimura's background includes parents who operate a kindergarten, establishing a familial connection to childcare. Later appearances, such as the Winter Garden special, show him working in a kindergarten himself, indicating a career path influenced by his family. Within Winter Garden, his character develops through a romantic subplot involving Dejiko. Their relationship begins with a chance umbrella offering during rain and a cake swap after an accidental collision damages hers, leading to mutual affection. They experience temporary conflict before reconciling. He also appears in the Flower Viewing Special (Ohanami Special), identified under his alias Murataku in the episode list. His role consistently showcases his linguistic fastidiousness, persistent yet unreciprocated attention towards Puchiko, and his eventual professional and romantic developments.
