Career
Personal life
Takahashi likes to play games, such as Shogi (Japanese chess),[1] Mahjong (the traditional Chinese tile game), card games, and tabletop role playing games.
Takahashi considers himself to be a procrastinator. He doesn't work until close to a deadline, at which point he always ask himself why he didn't start working earlier.[2]
Takahashi and Mike Mignola, the creator of the Hellboy comic book series, once participated in an art exchange. Takahashi, who is a fan of American comics, drew a picture of Hellboy with Yugi Mutou's hairdo, the Millennium Puzzle, and a Duel Disk. Mignola drew a picture of Hellboy wearing the Millennium Puzzle and a Yugi t-shirt, and the two exchanged their artworks. He also collaborated with Yoshio Sawai by sending him a picture of Yugi that was used in the manga Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (Bobobo makes Yugi come out of his afro). In return, Takahashi included the 'nu' handkerchief in one of the panels in Yu-Gi-Oh! during the Egypt arc.
