 His affection for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] is a driving force of his character development. While his insecurity and comical outside interference regularly gets in the way, he slowly manages to win her heart through his dedication, honesty and sincerity - traits Sato had also admired in her late colleague [[Jinpei Matsuda]]. Sato finally kisses Takagi after he has been severely wounded while protecting others.

However, at the scene of the planned crime, it was revealed that Takagi was actually Lupin, who had replaced Takagi after stealing his clothing and identity. After the heist, [[Yumi Miyamoto]] and [[Naeko Miike]] discovered the real Takagi stripped, bound and gagged inside a parking garage.
