Takeuchi graduated as a medical professional in the late 1980s. At the time the baby-boom had ended and Japan moved into a period of falling birth rates. As a medical practitioner the most attractive option was surgical medicine, obstetrics and gynecology was said to be in decline. Takeuchi, however, chose the path of obstetrics.
