Agonopterix takamukui is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Matsumura in 1931.[1] It is found in Japan[2] (Kyushu) and the Russian Far East (Amur and Primorye regions).[3]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are light fawn, lightly irrorated with dark brown and with a white-grey basal patch bounded on the outside by a vertical black line to the subcostal. There is a white spot surrounded by a black circle at two-thirds in the centre of the cell and there are two black spots at one-third in the basal angle of the cell. Between these two sets of cell markings is a black somewhat triangular blotch.[4]
