Biography

Taguchi was born in Saitama Prefecture.[1] His mother was a big fan of Masaharu Fukuyama. When Taguchi was four years old, while he was not aware, his mother applied and recruited for Amuse's Amuse Kids (a child department) in which the agency belonged to Fukuyama and became affiliated.[2]

His first main role on TV is Kotaro Sakuma/Koguma Sky Blue on Uchu Sentai Kyuranger.[3]

On March 31, 2020, he left the agency.

Personal life

Because he was closely watching Kamen Rider Den-O, Taguchi liked Takeru Satoh and belonged to Amuse.[2]

Director Yukihiko Tsutsumi commented that "when I said 'Do it like this,' I will do as it is, so I thought 'perhaps it is over 30 years old.'"[4]
