Takagi wasn't even elected into the Tournament Best Eleven.
The club made another J.League record when they did not concede any goal for 770 consecutive minutes by breaking Shimizu S-Pulse's 731 minutes recorded in 1993.
They kept 7 consecutive clean sheets which was also a tied J2 League record.
Yokohama FC, who had been languishing in the bottom half of the standing previous 5 seasons since their accession to J2, won the title and gained the first-ever promotion to J1 League.
His partnership with Czech Ivan Hašek up front was so successful that Hiroshima won the second stage of J1 League in 1994.
He was also a member of the Japan squad who participated in the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.
He was suspended for the crucial last match that the Japanese fans now refer to as the Agony of Doha, and watched from the bench a late Iraqi equaliser dashed Japan's hope to qualify for the finals in the USA.

He played three games and scored one goal against Syria in the competition.

Takagi was capped 44 times and scored 27 goals for the Japan national team.
He also acquired the S-Class Coaching License that was a prerequisite to manage a J.League club in 2004.
At the beginning of 2006, he was appointed an assistant coach at Yokohama FC.
He was unexpectedly promoted to the manager of the club to replace Yusuke Adachi who was sacked only after the team lost to Ehime FC in the opening match of the season.
Takagi's lack of coaching experience and untimely dismissal of Adachi worried the fans who decided in protest to watch the second match of the season (the first match under Takagi) in silence.
However, Takagi quickly convinced the supporters as he guided the club unbeaten for the first fifteen matches under his reign.
This was the record unbeaten run since appointment of a new manager in J.League.
The club made a drastic change in their squad before the beginning of the 2007 season in preparation for the fight in the top-flight.

Those who left included the striking partners Shoji Jo and Alemão who scored 30 goals together out of club's 61 goals in the previous season.
They beat Marinos in a Yokohama derby in the second match of the season, but otherwise the things didn't go well for Takagi.
New team leaders Oku and Kubo were sidelined due to injuries and the club was anchored at the bottom of the standing.
The club signed high-profile former Japanese international midfielder Atsuhiro Miura in August.
