Riku Miura (Japanese: 三浦 璃来; born December 17, 2001) is a Japanese pair skater, who currently competes with Ryuichi Kihara. Miura/Kihara are the reigning Japanese national champions in pair skating. She previously competed with Shoya Ichihashi.

Personal life

Miura was born in Takarazuka, Hyōgo.[1]

She enjoys doing karate in her spare time.[2] Her figure skating idol is Sui Wenjing.[3]

Career

Partnership with Ichihashi

With her skating partner, Shoya Ichihashi, she has represented Japan at four ISU Championships. The two finished tenth at the 2018 Four Continents Championships in Taipei, Taiwan, and at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.[1] Their partnership ended in July 2019.[3]

Partnership with Kihara

2019–20 season

In August 2019, it was announced that Miura had teamed up with Ryuichi Kihara and that the pair would train in Oakville, Ontario at the Skate Oakville Skating Club under Bruno Marcotte, Meagan Duhamel, and Brian Shales.[3][2]

Miura/Kihara made their international competitive debut at 2019 NHK Trophy, where they finished fifth.[4] They were the only pair competing at the 2019–20 Japan Championships, and had two falls in the short program.[5] The free skate proved more successful, allowing them to claim the Japanese national title and assignments to the ISU championships in the second half of the season.[6]

After an eighth-place finish at the 2020 Four Continents Championships, Miura/Kihara were assigned to compete at the World Championships in Montreal, but these were cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.[7]

2020–21 season

Miura/Kihara was assigned to compete at the 2020 Skate Canada International, but this event was also cancelled as a result of the pandemic.[8]
