[edit] Career

As a child, Takiguchi harbored dreams of being an astronomer. However, in his senior year of high school, he decided he wanted to be an actor instead. Since then, he has been and is still currently a talent under Stardust Promotion and part of a subgroup of the agency, Nachural. He was also one of seven original members of an ikemen unit called PureBOYS, a group made up of select actors that use the Ameba blogging service, from June 2007 until his graduation from the group (by his own decision) on March 31, 2008. (The "graduation ceremony" was held on the March 28, 2008 episode of their weekly school-themed internet broadcast show Harajuku Amesuta☆Gakuen.) Despite his graduation, he continues to appear on the show, only as Takiguchi-sensei instead of as a classmate.

He has also done some modeling work: a CM for McDonalds in 2005, the 『NOZOMI ISHIGURO SPRING＆SUMMER 2007 COLLECTION』 Fashion Show and the CM for JTB - JTBRyuu x Gakusei Ryuu in 2007.
