2024
Takahashi and Mizuki Otake competed in the 2024 Taipei Open in September. It was their first time reaching the quarterfinals of a tournament at this level. They started by defeating fifth seeds Sung Shuo-yun and Yu Chien-hui of Chinese Taipei.[9] Their winning streak continued in the next round with a win over the Indonesian duo of Lanny Tria Mayasari and Rachel Allessya Rose.[10] However, their run ended in the quarterfinals against the second seeds Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma and Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi of Indonesia after a hard-fought 72-minute, three-game match.[11]
Takahashi and Otake reached the finals of two Super 100 tournaments. They were runner-up at the 2024 Indonesia Masters Super 100 I, losing to the Indonesian pair Jesita Putri Miantoro and Febi Setianingrum.[12] They then won the 2024 Vietnam Open, defeating the Thailand pair Tidapron Kleebyeesun and Nattamon Laisuan to win their first BWF World Tour title.[13]
Takahashi and Otake made their Super 500 tournament debut at the Japan Masters in November, where they lost in the first round to the sixth-seeded Chinese pair Jia Yifan and Zhang Suxian.[14]
