Asanuma appears first in Act 14, Volume 04. He is a student at the prestigious Moto Azabu school. The school is a combination of Junior High school and High School. Asanuma is a first year student in Junior High, while Mamoru is in High School at the beginning of the manga. He is very curious and has a special interest in the supernatural. He belongs to the Science Fiction club at his school, and reports and collects information on UFOs and other supernatural things. He often takes notes or pictures of anything unnatural that he sees. Asanuma greatly admires Mamoru Chiba, and wants to be like him, often following him around. He once secretly sees Mamoru heal himself of a scratch, but decides not to mention the incident to anyone. He has also overheard Luna talking to Usagi. He begins to hypothesize the members of the group of friends are not human. One day, Makoto isn't feeling well, so he walks her home. He touches her arm, and static shocks him. She begins saying that she can manipulate thunder and lightning, but quickly stops herself and pretends to be delirious. Curious Asanuma questions Makoto about the strange events that occur around the group, but she denies everything. Eventually, when he reveals that he has heard Luna talking to Usagi, she reveals to him that she is Sailor Jupiter. She also tells him the identities of the other senshi. He is amazed by this, and tells her that he has deep respect for their mission. He tells her that if he had the power, he would work to protect her. Asanuma does not appear again after the Black Moon arc of the manga.
