Trivia

• The character Officer Takagi is named after him, but was originally a nameless character. During one recording session, Chafurin (Megure) read the the line "You, what's your name?", and Takagi adlibbed the response "Takagi, sir".
• Several in-jokes are made in the anime regarding Takagi's numerous roles. For example, in Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story (Part 1) Genta remarks that Officer Takagi is probably unpopular with girls. At the end of the episode, Takagi announces the Next Conan's Hint in character as Officer Takagi still preoccupied with Sato and Shiratori.
