Miku Takaichi (née Miku Tashiro (田代 未来, Tashiro Miku, born 7 April 1994)) is a Japanese retired[1] judoka.[2][3] She competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics, winning a silver medal in mixed team.[4]

Career

Tashiro started judo at the age of 8.[5] Her favorite techniques are Uchi mata and Ōuchi gari.[5]

In 2009, Tashiro won the gold medal in the 63 kg weight class at the World Judo Cadets Championships.[5] In 2010, she won the gold medal in the 63 kg weight class at the Youth Olympics and the World Juniors Championships.[5]

In 2011, Tashiro suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the Kinshuki High School Judo Tournament.[6] The next year she returned to the tatami after long rehabilitation.[6]

In 2013, Tashiro took a position at Komatsu Limited after graduating from Shukutoku High School.[5]

Tashiro won a bronze medal in the Extra-lightweight (63 kg) division at the 2014 World Championships.[6]

In November 2022, Tashiro married Kengo Takaichi, a judoka and former Japanese men's national team player.[7] As a result, her registered name was changed to "Miku Takaichi", and she participated in tournaments as Miku Takaichi from the December 2022 Tokyo Grand Slam, where she won the women's 63 kg class gold medal.[7][8]
