Takahisa is Japanese in Origin.

Takahisa is a Japanese masculine given name; the earliest secure form for this entry is the kana たかひさ, which records pronunciation rather than meaning. Its root language is Japanese, though the kanji are Chinese-origin logographs used with Japanese name readings. A common spelling, 高久, combines 高 taka, high, tall, excellent, with 久 hisa, long-lasting, old, enduring. Spellings such as 隆久 or 孝久 alter the first element to prosperity or filial piety while usually preserving hisa as a duration element.

In Japan it is used chiefly for men and may also occur as a surname, with family-specific kanji and readings. Personal-name spellings include 貴久, 敬久, 尚久, 寿久, and 悠久, relying on nanori, the special readings common in names. Informal forms such as Taka, Takachan, and Takkun follow ordinary Japanese nickname patterns. Contemporary bearers include singer and actor Takahisa Masuda and baseball player Takahisa Hayakawa.
