Takács Zoltán (born December 17, 1979) is Hungarian musician and record producer, best known internationally as the keyboardist of the Hungarian alternative rock band Heaven Street Seven and the producer of Ivan & The Parazol's Mama Don't You Recognize Ivan & The Parazol.

Takács was born in 1979 in Hódmezővásárhely, Hungary. He attended the Márton Bálint elementary and secondary school in Törökbálint. He continued his studies at the Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary at the Faculty of Far Eastern languages studying Japanese language. He was nicknamed Japán (Japanese in Hungarian) by his fellows because of his unique choice of language studying.

In 1998 Takács joined the Budapest based alternative rock band Heaven Street Seven and has been the keyboardist for the band since then.

Takács started his record producer career by recording, mixing and mastering Heaven Street Seven's Szállj Ki és Gyalogolj in 2004 in Budapest at the Acquarium studios.

In 2014 Erika Anikó Brouwer, Takács's partner, gave birth to their first child, Ábel Takács-Brouwer. On 18 June Takács married Erika Anikó Brouwer.
