He is best known in the Western world for his break-out performance in the controversial movie Battle Royale, in which he played the pacifistic Hiroki Sugimura (Boy #11). Takaoka then moved from muted heroics to active anti-heroism in portrayals of the grittier side of teenage violence, such as in Concrete. The film was based on the events of Junko Furuta's sadistic murder by four youths in 1988.
In 2006, for his role as the introspective Honda in Spring Snow, Takaoka gained a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Blue Ribbon Awards, a Japanese film event judged by critics.
On June 15, 2007, he married Japanese actress Aoi Miyazaki, after dating her for 7 years. They later divorced in December 2011.
On November 16, 2018 he revealed via his Instagram account that he has registered marriage with a non-celebrity woman, and they already have 2 children together.
On August 3, 2020, actor Takaoka Sosuke announced that he will be retiring from showbiz. Edit Biography
