Career

Takiguchi attended an all-boys high school, and, during his senior year, he was scouted to become a model.[3] Takiguchi accepted the offer, after concluding that the job would be more rewarding than "graduating out of college to become a salaryman."[3] He was signed on to Stardust Promotion in Section 3.

From 2006 to 2007, Takiguchi played Shuichiro Oishi in Musical: The Prince of Tennis.[2] In June 2007, Takiguchi became a member of the project group PureBoys.[5] In March 2008, he announced he was leaving the group and continued to make appearances on their online show until June 27, 2008.[6]

His final appearance before his death was in the musical Seishun Aoharu Tetsudō, which ended its run on November 4, 2019.[7]
