Policymaker Takata stressed the need to maintain ultra-loose monetary policy for the time being, as slowing global growth was heightening uncertainty on whether the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) 2% inflation target was sustainably achievable.
In an earlier speech, he said he believe Japan's economy was "finally seeing early signs" of achieving the 2% target.
Two other BOJ board members earlier gave diverging views on how soon the central bank should consider scaling back its radical stimulus.
Japan's core inflation hit 3.1% in July, exceeding the BOJ's 2% target for the 16th straight month.
BOJ officials have said the central bank must keep interest rates ultra-low until robust domestic demand and sustained wage growth replace rising import costs as key drivers of inflation.
