Takanori is a Japanese masculine given name whose meaning depends on the kanji chosen. The element taka may be written as 高 “tall/high,” 貴 “noble/precious,” 隆 “prosperous,” 孝 “filial,” or 崇 “reverent,” while nori often appears as 則 “law/rule,” 紀 “chronicle,” 徳 “virtue,” 典 “code,” 憲 “constitution,” or 教 “teach.” Common spellings include 高徳 (“lofty virtue”), 貴教 (“noble teaching”), 隆則 (“prosperous law”), 孝憲 (“filial constitution”), and 敬典 (“respectful code”).

Notable bearers include singer Takanori Nishikawa (T.M.Revolution), MMA fighter Takanori Gomi, and actor Takanori Iwata.
