Japanese Volleyball Player Ran Takahashi Is Twitter’s Latest Obsession; TBH, We Can Relate

Jul 29, 2021   •   Meryl Medel

You might be seeing a new name on your news feed recently, accompanied by a lot of photos of this handsome, fair-skinned guy wearing a volleyball uniform and smiling so brightly that you can’t help but smile back, even if he doesn’t see you. Yup, that’s Ran Takahashi, a 19-year-old Japanese volleyball player currently part of his country’s national team in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

He’s being dubbed as the next Yuki Ishikawa, an award-winning athlete and the captain of the Japan men’s national team, so you could just imagine how good he is at the sport. But aside from being talented AF, Ran Takahashi is getting a lot of attention for his good looks and amazing physique. Just look at these netizens’ reactions:

Monster rookie

Ran Takahashi just graduated high school, and he’s already competing in the Olympics at age 19. He’s making us question our life decisions. What are we doing again? Ah, yes, simping over Ran Takahashi.

 

Badass on the court . . .

Is there such a thing as too much Ran Takahashi that we’d go crazy? We think not. Or maybe we’re just @ no thoughts head empty because Ran Takahashi.

Anime come to life

I just found my real life Tobio Kageyama, Japanese volleyball player Ran Takahashi! pic.twitter.com/FIHCgA0NP7

— Daphne Soh 다프네 (@miyake9) July 26, 2021


Ran Takahashi has been likened to Tobio Kageyama, a genius volleyball player in the anime Haikyuu. Is he an anime character come to life? Or is Haikyuu an anime inspired by life/Ran Takahashi? Whatever it is, we get it, because they are both handsome and absolutely talented in the sport.

Bonus: Just look at that adorable smile!

Forgiven history?

I’ll forgive Japan for all their sins IF THEY HAND OVER RAN TAKAHASHI IMMEDIATELY pic.twitter.com/plqCsviDmA

— Rufa Gae (@dailystantwt) July 28, 2021


It seems user @dailystantwt is ready to forgive and forget the past as long as Ran Takahashi is here. Well, he does look sooo adorable doing their team cheer.

Even this Canadian netizen says there’s no country loyalty when it comes to Ran Takahashi.

i’m canadian but ran takahashi is more important than my home country pic.twitter.com/0fHVbPfQon

Sorry po

i just know my ancestors looking down on me feeling disappointed watching me simp over ran takahashi.. a japanese with a sprinkle of white in there. double kill pic.twitter.com/hjn1oFx5uk

— #megan (@m3gnoodle) July 28, 2021


Aside from his Japanese nationality, Takahashi is said to have inherited American, German, and British ancestries. So to all our lolos and lolas, please accept our heartfelt apologies. Ran Takahashi is just too cute that we must simp over him.

 

Another sacrifice

i’m willing to give up my first born just to have a camera following mr ran takahashi around during games pic.twitter.com/6jDfRFfMzA

— jadon ι(`ロ´)ノ (@musenkunn) July 28, 2021


Goodbye to user @musenkunn’s firstborn child and say hello to more Ran Takahashi fancams. Thank you for the sacrifice.

 

Proposals abound

A lot of netizens are asking for his hand in marriage. But some just want him to have a good day. Sana all na lang merong nagdadasal na maganda araw nating lahat. Okay lang kahit wala na para sa atin, as long as Takahashi-kun’s day is good!

I hope Ran Takahashi is having a great day today pic.twitter.com/de72ya8zxy
