Trivia
- Of all his roles, his vocal impersonation of the original Perfect Cell voice is considered the most accurate to the original performance, originally by Funimation's Dameon Clarke.
- Takahata101's performance as Nappa in Dragon Ball Z Abridged is considered by many to be the source of a huge boost in popularity to the character, who was previously held in little regard by the fandom.
- Takahata101 also recorded lines for the Dragon Ball Xenoverse video game series, using his Nappa voice for the game's create-a-character feature. Many of his lines are references to both the official Dragon Ball franchise and Dragon Ball Z Abridged series.
- During his stream on his Twitch channel: Takahata101, on 29/7/2019, he mentioned his porn name is Fricassé.
- In an interview with Totally Not Mark, Lani and Kaiser revealed that Taka was the only one that wanted to be Nappa, as early on they only focused on the big scenes and moments.
