Synopsis[]
Mika Harima Arc[]
Takashi and Youko confront Mikado Ryuugamine as he and Anri Sonohara leave school together. He threatens Mikado for the whereabouts of Izaya Orihara, who had smashed Youko's cell phone the day before, but without warning he is kicked to the ground by Celty Sturluson and subsequently jumped on by Izaya.
Saika Arc[]
An image of him is shown in episode 15 on a cover of the tabloid Tokyo Warrior with Hiroshi.
Hollywood Arc[]
In the anime, Takashi is among a group of bikers seeking Jack O'Lantern talent agency's 10 million yen bounty on Celty, and he carries out a high-speed attack on her as they drive down Ikebukuro's freeway. As he swings at her with a metal pipe, he cuts open the bag she is carrying in her sidecar, and a human arm falls out of the hole.
Toramaru Arc[]
Takashi is among the group of Dollars members who kidnap Non, Rio Kamichika, and their friends to use as hostages against Chikage Rokujou and the Toramaru bikers. When confronted by Mikado as they are taking the girls away in a van, Takashi is among the three who stay behind to beat him up. Takashi enjoys beating on Mikado, treating it as a revenge for the incident a year prior when he had confronted Mikado and been knocked out in one blow by the Black Rider. By the time Mikado remembers him, Takashi deals him a kick to the head that knocks him unconscious. He and the rest of his friends are defeated by Anri and left unconscious in the alley and she and Mikado pursue the kidnapped girls.
