Since Osaka is your first destination, look for nonstops from MNL to KIX or flights with connections from MNL to OSA (all Osaka airports - includes ITM and UKB). You might find that a connection in, say, Taipei or Seoul works better than a connection in Tokyo. (With your preferred airlines - BR or OZ).

For your return from Takamatsu to Toronto I guess that it might make sense to fly OZ from TAK to ICN and connect there.

To travel from Osaka to Takamatsu, there are buses (direct) and trains. AFAIK most trains require a connection. Take Shinkansen from Shin Osaka to Okayama and then a limited express to Takamatsu. Carry your luggage onto the train or use a delivery service to send it to your next hotel. You will need to reserve a space for oversized luggage.
Thank you very much. I was thinking that maybe the train services intercity has checked luggage system. I will try arrive at KIX then. How is the train system from Tokyo to Osaka? Same as have to take luggage inside the train?

What is your concern? Is your luggage too large for you to handle? If so, you could consider using a luggage delivery service (takuhaibin).

It is one 28 inch suitcase and one hand luggage. But I would only be staying in Osaka for 3 days.

For the large case, you need to reserve luggage space on Shinkansen trains.
If it's too much for you to haul, then you can forward it from airport to hotel etc. with Takuhaibin delivery service but it will take a day or two depending on the destination. Your hotel front desk can advise you on that.
