Akito Takagi (髙木 彰人,Takagi Akito) is aJapanesefootball player. He currently plays forSC Sagamihara in theJ3 League. His playing position is eitherattacking midfielder orforward.[1][2]
Born and raised in Osaka, Takagi came through the youth ranks at Gamba Osaka and joined the senior squad for the first time in2014 at the age of 17. He made his debut on 16 April 2014 in a 2-0 J.League Cup victory away toSagan Tosu. He started the game and was replaced byAkihiro Sato after 71 minutes.[3]
He didn't play at all in 2015 or 2016 before finding himself in Gamba's starting line up towards the back end of the2017 season where he played a total of 7 league matches and 2AFC Champions League games without getting his name on the scoresheet.
Gamba changed head coaches ahead of the2018 season with BrazilianLevir Culpi replacing the long servingKenta Hasegawa and this saw a big reduction in Takagi's top team playing time as neither Culpi nor mid-season replacementTsuneyasu Miyamoto could find space for Takagi in their starting line-ups and he was restricted to a mere 1 J.League Cup substitute appearance againstUrawa Red Diamonds.[1][2]
In 2016, Gamba's Under-23 side joined J3 League along with the reserve teams ofFC Tokyo andCerezo Osaka. Takagi featured for them often in their inaugural campaign, netting once in 23 appearances as they finished 9th in the overall standings. The team was run more as a youth team in 2017 and owing to this as well as his involvement with Gamba's first team, he only played once throughout the year. However in 2018, it was back to being a reserve team again and Takagi put in a stronger showing, playing all 32 games and bagging 5 goals as his team finished 6th in the final league table.[1][2]
In May 2017, Takagi was electedJapan U-20 national team for2017 U-20 World Cup. At this tournament, he played 2 matches.[4]
