Takahashi Ai (高橋愛, born September 14, 1986) is a Japanese pop singer associated with Hello! Project, best known as a member of Morning Musume (モーニング娘。) and its most popular subgroup, Mini Moni (ミニモニ。). She is considered to have one of the most distinct and recognizable voices in the group.

Ai Takahashi joined Morning Musume in 2001 as part of the group’s fifth generation, along with Makoto Ogawa, Asami Konno, and Risa Niigaki. Her debut appearance with the group was on their single “Mr. Moonlight ~Ai no BIG BAND~”, and her first appearance on a Morning Musume full-length release was their fourth studio album, the appropriately named 4th Ikimashoi!. Her first appearance on a Hello! Project Summer Shuffle release was on the 2002 single “Shiawase Beam! Suki Suki Beam!” under the group name Happy 7.

In 2003, she was tapped to replace Mari Yaguchi in the Morning Musume spinoff group Mini Moni, first appearing in the group’s movie MiniMoni Ja Movie: Okashina Daibouken and its accompanying soundtrack. Her best-known nickname amongst non-Japanese fans, “Takitty”, derived from the catsuit (complete with tail) that she wears in the movie.

That same year, she was part of the Morning Musume splinter group Morning Musume Sakuragumi, which performed mainly slower numbers on the group’s two EPs, “Hare Ame Nochi Suki” and “Sakura Mankai”, and the shuffle group 7AIR, an R&B-inspired septet.
