FULL BIO: Yuika Hosokawa
Yuika Hosokawa is a Japanese racing driver who has been a cornerstone competitor in the all-female Kyojo Cup series since its inception in 2017, representing the steady determination that keeps motorsport moving forward even when the spotlight isn’t shining.
EARLY YEARS
Born on May 31, 1992, in Tokyo, Japan, Yuika grew up in one of the world’s most bustling metropolitan areas. Beyond her birthplace and date, the details of her early years remain largely private—no family racing legends, no go-kart prodigy stories, just a Tokyo girl who would eventually find her way to the track.
OTHER INTERESTS
Like many aspects of her personal life, Hosokawa keeps her interests outside of racing close to the vest. What drives her when she’s not behind the wheel remains her own business—a refreshing approach in an age of oversharing.
EARLY SUCCESS
Yuika’s path to racing success hasn’t followed the typical trajectory of early victories and standout performances. Instead, she’s built her career on consistency and longevity, becoming one of the original competitors when the Kyojo Cup launched in 2017. Her journey represents the unglamorous but essential foundation of motorsport—the drivers who show up, race after race, season after season.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2017: Became an original competitor in the inaugural Kyojo Cup season at Fuji Speedway.
- 2017-2025: Maintained consistent participation in the all-female Kyojo Cup series across multiple seasons.
- 2025: Competed for Fujisan Shizuoka Racing in car #12, driving the KCMG-01 hybrid F4-spec chassis.
INSPIRATIONS
The sources of inspiration that led Hosokawa to racing remain unspoken, adding to the mystique of a driver who lets her track time do the talking rather than her media presence.
REPUTATION
Within the Kyojo Cup paddock, Yuika has earned respect as one of the series’ most dedicated competitors. While she may not grab headlines with dramatic victories or controversy, her eight-year commitment to the series speaks to a different kind of racing spirit. The 2025 season saw her weather challenges, including a collision with Maaya Orido during a sprint race that left her continuing a lap down—the kind of determination that defines a true racer. Her 16th-place finish in the May 2025 round reflects the reality that not every racing story is about podiums and champagne, but about the pure love of competition.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
As the 2025 Kyojo Cup season continues at Fuji Speedway, Hosokawa remains focused on her role with Fujisan Shizuoka Racing. With multiple rounds still ahead in the season, she’ll be looking to improve on her early results and continue her remarkable streak as one of the series’ most enduring competitors.
