Takahito is a Japanese masculine given name formed from taka (“tall, exalted, noble”) and hito (“person” or the virtue “benevolence,” 仁).

Usage has strong courtly associations: the -hito element appears in many imperial names (Hirohito, Akihito, Naruhito), and Takahito was borne by Prince Takahito of Mikasa (1915–2016), uncle of Emperor Akihito. The name has been documented since classical periods and remains recognizably traditional while still approachable in modern Japan. Variant romanization is stable as Takahito, though the kanji selection offers stylistic nuance for parents seeking a sense of dignity, height, or cultivated virtue.
