Career
Takagi joined the acting school at Nikkatsu in 1920 but made his mark first at Makino Film Productions as a samurai film action star known for his speed and ability to do stunts.[1] He started his own company, Takagi Shinpei Productions, in 1927 and directed one of his own films.[1] He later moved from one company to the next before settling down as a supporting actor in the postwar years. He is most known outside Japan for playing the bandit chief in Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.
