Biography

This section's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (May 2021)

Takahashi was born as the eldest son in Akasaka, Minato Ward, Tokyo. He has four half-brothers, including the musician, Yuma Abe. He cared for his younger siblings when they were infants, and is more like their father than brother. Takahashi had been estranged from his mother, who had married three times, for about 10 years. He finally reconciled with her a week before her passing in 2015.

In childhood, Takahashi’s grandmother convinced him to take various lessons to bring him out of his shell, but he did not last long with any of them. He joined a children's theatre and was moved by his grandmother's delight in seeing him perform in the company's regular shows.

Takahashi enjoys and is good at skateboarding, basketball, guitar, and harmonica.

His favorite comedians include FUJIWARA and Takayuki Haranishi.

On March 7, 2017, he opened his Instagram account.[3] On May 10, 2017, he closed his Instagram account.[4]
