I actually don't think Takashi has hit his peak (career-wise, anyway) yet. He needs and deserves more opportunities to realize his full potential. My opinion of him as an actor doesn't change because of this news either, but I think it has the potential to diffuse a certain population of "fans." My guess is that he probably wouldn't be getting married so soon if his girlfriend weren't pregnant, but it's nice to know they've been dating for a number of years. 50/50 shot here, but I think the baby's going to be an adorable and beautiful girl who takes after her father.
