FULL BIO: Miki Onaga
Miki Onaga is a Japanese racing driver who burst onto the scene in 2019 with an immediate victory in the all-female Kyojo Cup and has since become one of Japan’s most consistent female competitors across multiple racing series.
EARLY YEARS
Born on November 4, 1997, in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan’s subtropical southernmost region, Miki grew up far from Japan’s traditional motorsports centers. The details of her early exposure to racing remain largely private, but her eventual path to the track would prove she had natural talent waiting to be unleashed.
OTHER INTERESTS
Like many professional drivers who prefer to keep their personal lives out of the spotlight, Miki’s interests outside the cockpit remain undocumented. Her focus appears entirely dedicated to her racing career development.
EARLY SUCCESS
Miki’s introduction to competitive racing was nothing short of spectacular. Joining the Kyojo Cup mid-season in 2019 from the second round, she immediately won her debut race—a statement that announced her arrival in dramatic fashion. That rookie season saw her finish as championship runner-up in a close battle with Hinako Muramatsu, despite missing the opening round. She also competed in the Suzuka Race of Asia that year, testing her skills in mixed-gender competition. The following two seasons brought more consistent championship challenges, with second-place finishes in both 2020 and 2021, establishing her as one of the series’ most reliable front-runners.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2019: Won debut race in Kyojo Cup and finished 2nd in championship despite joining mid-season[1].
- 2020: Finished 2nd in Kyojo Cup championship and competed in Super Taikyu Championship with Kobe Toyopet Motorsports[1].
- 2021: Claimed three class victories in Super Taikyu driving Toyota Yaris while finishing 2nd in Kyojo Cup[1].
- 2022: Won Kyojo Cup championship with Kids com Team KCMG[1].
- 2025: Made Formula 4 debut with OTG Motor Sports, marking her transition to open-wheel racing[4][5].
INSPIRATIONS
The drivers and influences that shaped Miki’s racing philosophy remain undisclosed, as she has kept her personal motivations and heroes private throughout her career.
REPUTATION
Within Japanese racing circles, Miki has earned recognition as one of the most consistent performers in the Kyojo Cup, with her ability to challenge for championships year after year. Her relationship with Toyota-affiliated teams, including Kobe Toyopet Motorsports and OTG Motor Sports, indicates strong industry support and professional standing. She’s demonstrated versatility by competing successfully in both all-female series and mixed-gender events like the Super Taikyu Championship, proving her skills translate across different competitive environments. Her clean reputation, free from public controversies or disputes, has made her a reliable choice for manufacturer-backed programs.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Currently focused on her rookie Formula 4 season with OTG Motor Sports, supported by Osaka Toyopet, Miki is making her first serious foray into open-wheel racing. This transition from touring cars and one-make series to formula cars represents a significant step up in her career trajectory, though her specific long-term ambitions beyond 2025 remain unannounced.
