 * Takizawa was ranked seventeenth in the latest character popularity poll.
 * On a deleted Twitter post, Sui Ishida mentioned that Takizawa has pineapple-patterned boxers.

 * He is heavily associated with The Devil (XV).
 * In Chapter 123, his tears form the number "15".
 * He was OWL #15 during the ghoulification experiments that transformed him.
 * In Chapter 141, the number "6" appears in his blood. This references the Tarot Card The Lovers (VI).
 * In :re Chapter 24, the numbers "3" and "7" appear in blood on his face. These reference the Tarot Cards The Empress (III) and The Chariot (VII).
 * In Chapter 31, while covering his face after looking at Akira, his former rival, the word "jealous" or "jealousy" can be seen in his left hand.
 * While the original Owls (Yoshimura and Eto) are referred to using the Japanese word Fukurō, Takizawa is referred to using the English word "Owl" instead.
 * In the manga, Takizawa was with Amon when he was injured by Noro. In the 11th episode of Tokyo Ghoul , Takizawa encountered Noro before reaching Amon.

Tokyo Ghoul

 * To himself: "I am... always second best."
 * To Hide (describing Akira): "She's an asexual weapons fanatic. She's more like a ghoul than the ghouls are."
 * To Akira: "I want to get promoted and be useful to everyone! Is there something wrong with that?"
 * To Akira: "It's your fault I was always 2nd place. You were always ahead of me in practical skills, classroom learning, and assignments... but I'm going to achieve more than anyone else and climb to the top! You just watch me, you cold-hearted bitch! More than anyone else, yo-..."
 * To himself: "Now that I think about it... it was only ever from the side that I saw her. Fuck... I'm such a clown."
 * Takizawa's Will: "Dear Mother and Father, Long ago there was a period of time when Mother began to feel insecure after a ghoul killed Satou-obasan, who lived in the neighborhood. When I saw that, I felt that I wanted to protect Mother and made the decision to become a ghoul investigator. Even now, the determination I held then is strong. I am very proud of this job where I must put my life on the line for the sake of other people. This time, I was included as a member of a large suppression operation. If I do not make it back, please do not be too sad. As always (blurred). The meals I was able to eat we- (blurred) delicious. (Blurred) of Seina and Rocky. I DON'T WANT TO DIE."

Tokyo Ghoul:re

 * To Atou: "You're like a freshly picked pineapple!"
 * To Tougi and Kukiyama: "You've grown up being told to clean the food off your plate, right? Don't be picky, they say. I don't like carrots, but now everything that I can eat tastes awesome. You're shaking a lot. I get it. You're scared. Because the fear you feel is different. Like big and small, men and women, young and old. What you two are afraid of is... what is different from yourselves. So if you become the same, it's not scary. Killers, monsters,... ghouls. If you become what you're afraid of, fear will fade. What you two are afraid of, is the Door of Death in front of you. So I'll have you become that. Once you're Death, death is no longer scary. You're scared because you're a living person. Got that?"
 * To Sasaki: "Between the first and the second is a huge gap. Being second is just a consolation for the loser. Yes, a consolation for them not to think that, as long as there's someone above them... they're nothing but a loser. The gap between a perfect 100 mark and a 99 is not just one point. I want to prove myself now... you were that doctor's masterpiece. I wonder... how about now?"
 * To himself: "Mommy! Daddy! I'm sorry! I can't help it! I couldn't help it!"
 * To Kaneki: "In the academy... I learned that an investigator should lay down his life for his superior. What are we gonna do if the boss of the organization dies too early on? We'll knock some sense into Amon, and take him home with us. I promise. Alright, king of the sheep? So don't worry."
 * To Amon: "Ironic, isn't it? For we, who lived for justice this whole while, to be reduced to these bodies..."
 * To himself: "'Don't give up'? Give up what?! I... there's no going back for me. Not anymore."
 * To Amon, internally: "Amon. You always burned so bright. Bright enough to blind. Your rectitude was nothing but torture to me. But I realized. I can't spout pretty words about justice like you can. I won't take back the crimes I've committed. Seidou Takizawa died in that prison. I can no longer walk the straight and narrow path. If I could, I'd want to turn time back. I, too... want to be like you... but now that that's never going to happen... I'm just a loose cannon. Loose cannon. Bit different than a ticking time-bomb. Just one thing. That's all. 'This above all else.' Something like that. The one thing that holds everything else in place. And I'll... see it through."
