One college student suffered serious injuries during the attack and was undergoing surgery, the police spokesman told AFP.
Kusakabe was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, police said.
According to local media, Kusakabe hit a total of eight people and assaulted another on the street, which was closed to car traffic at the time as revellers packed the area to celebrate New Year.
Takeshita Street is packed with small shops and is considered the centre of youth culture and fashion in Japan, attracting tens of thousands of international tourists every day.
Unlike in other major cities, New Year in Tokyo is a relatively muted affair.
There is no major fireworks display and no central point where drunken revellers gather to see in the New Year.
Instead, Japanese people tend to see in the New Year with families and quietly go to the shrine to pray for good fortune in the year to come.
