I haven't seen the name in Japanese characters before. Interesting. They've used "katakana" characters instead of "hiragana" or "kanji". Usually they use katakana for writing English (or other non-Japanese) words borrowed and incorporated into their language - eg "hambaaga" is their borrowed word for hamburger and it would be written in katakana. Traditional Japanese words would be written with completely different characters in hiragana or kanji, but sometimes they use katakana characters to make even traditional Japanese words look cooler. Maybe that's the case here, because Takahashi is almost certainly a Japanese name.
