FULL BIO: Miku Ikejima
Miku Ikejima is a Japanese racing driver who has carved out a unique place in motorsports as the only competitor to race in every Kyojo Cup season since the series launched in 2017. Known for her consistency and determination, she represents the steady backbone of Japan’s premier all-female racing championship.
EARLY YEARS
Born on January 29, 1997, in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, Miku’s path to motorsports remains largely private. At 5’5″, she discovered racing at some point in her teens, though the specifics of how she first encountered the sport haven’t been publicly documented. What’s clear is that by 2017, she was ready to take on the inaugural season of the Kyojo Cup, making her part of the series’ founding generation of drivers.
OTHER INTERESTS
Miku keeps her life outside the cockpit remarkably private. Unlike many of her contemporaries who share glimpses of hobbies, travel, or other pursuits on social media, she maintains a laser focus on her racing career in public appearances and interviews.
EARLY SUCCESS
Ikejima’s early racing years were marked more by persistence than podium celebrations. She entered the Kyojo Cup as part of its inaugural class in 2017, establishing herself as a reliable competitor who could consistently score points and challenge for top-ten finishes. Her parallel involvement in the Japanese F4 Championship, where she completed 17 race starts, provided valuable single-seater experience that would serve her well in the prototype VITA-01 cars used in the Kyojo Cup.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2017: Competed in the inaugural Kyojo Cup season, becoming part of the series’ founding generation of drivers[3].
- 2017-2019: Established herself as a consistent points scorer in the early years of the Kyojo Cup[3].
- 2023: Returned to active Kyojo Cup competition with TGM Grand Prix after a four-year hiatus[3].
- 2023: Achieved multiple top-ten finishes, including seventh and eighth place results in the Kyojo Cup season[3].
INSPIRATIONS
Miku has not publicly shared details about her racing heroes or the figures who inspired her to pursue motorsports. Her motivation appears to come from an internal drive rather than external influences she’s willing to discuss publicly.
REPUTATION
Within the Kyojo Cup paddock, Ikejima is respected as an experienced competitor and a consistent threat for top-ten finishes. Her value to TGM Grand Prix in 2023 was recognized not just for her driving ability, but for her development contributions to the team. As the only driver on the current grid with experience dating back to the series’ very first season, she brings institutional knowledge that younger competitors can’t match. Her steady presence has made her a reliable benchmark for measuring progress in the highly competitive all-female championship.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Miku’s plans beyond the 2023 season remain undisclosed. Given her return to active competition after a four-year break, she appears committed to continuing her Kyojo Cup career, though specific goals or target achievements have not been publicly stated.
