Tricia Ann Takasugi (born March 2, 1961, in Oxnard, California) is a Japanese-American general assignment reporter for KTTV Fox 11 in Los Angeles.
Takasugi was born in Oxnard, California, one of five children born to the late Nao Takasugi and his wife Judy.[1] She graduated from UCLA in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish.[2]
Takasugi began her broadcasting career as a general assignment reporter at KABC-TV in Los Angeles, during the late 1980s and early 1990s. In the mid-1990s, Takasugi began working for KTTV FOX 11 as a general assignment reporter. After FOX purchased local station KCOP-TV, Takasugi began reporting for both stations.
The female Asian reporter from Fox's "Family Guy," Tricia Takanawa, is believed to be a parody of her.
