Fujioka Maito is one of two sons of Fujioka Hiroshi, with his other brother not being part of the entertainment industry. He also has three sisters, one elder and two younger, all of whom are actresses/models within their family agency, Sanki Worldwide. In preparation for his role as Takeshi, Maito watched the original series to understand the character and consulted with his father for advice. Fujioka had been interested in the entertainment industry since he was a child, but never actually wanted to be an actor as he wished to pursue music. However after receiving the offer to portray Sega Sanshiro's son, he made his debut.
