He introduced Misaki to Akihiko to be his home tutor to help him with his grades.

Eventually, he was worried about Misaki living with Akihiko Usami (Usagi) might have caused Misaki to over dependent on Usagi not knowing their relationship underneath. They argued in 'Romantica Act 44' as Takahiro wants Misaki to start looking for a place to stay independently. Manami, his wife, tried persuading him to look at Misaki as an adult, that he has his own opinion too that he has to listen, instead of forcing his own ideas on him.

[1]He discovered Misaki's relationship with Akihiko right before Misaki could tell him on the day he planned to do so, witnessing them seemingly kiss in the car. When Misaki tried to explain to Takahiro, he did not agree or object to the relationship and seemingly left to think about it.
