Yuka Miyazaki won gold at the World Youth Badminton Championships in 2022 and is regarded as a rising star in the Japanese badminton world, and after winning the women's singles championship at the All Japan General Badminton Championships last year, she became the fourth female high school student to win the championship in this event since the Heisei era (1989-2019), after Aiko Miyamura, Nozomi Okuhara and Akane Yamaguchi. Her world ranking jumped from 430th to 8th in the world in just two years, and she officially graduated from high school this year to join the ACT SAKOYO team.

Two seniors also praised her, Akane Yamaguchi praised her as a player who can use her brain and think about how to play the best way in the game, and Aya Ohbori called Miyazaki a "monster" who always hits the ball in unexpected places.

TV Asahi pointed out that Miyazaki's strength is the "unpredictable shot", the hitting action is completely consistent before the shot, whether it is a straight or diagonal kill, and does not change direction until the last minute, so that the opponent has no time to react.

As for her ultimate goal, Miyazaki Tomoka revealed that no Japanese women's singles player has won a gold medal at the Olympics so far, and she hopes that she can become the first Japanese player. It will be interesting to see how Tomoka Miyazaki will perform at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
