Abstract.We revisite Takagi's peculiar function $T$ with the aid of arithmetical techniques (instead of the more known geometrical ones). This formula simplyfies computations, and classical properties are now easily derived from it.

Among the other results, Kono's Probability Theorem, functional equations characterasing $T$, and Trollope summation formula are newly shown.
