Her biography is available in 15 different languages on Wikipedia. Riku Miura is the 431st most popular skater, the 4,178th most popular biography from Japan and the 25th most popular Japanese Skater.

Riku Miura is most famous as a Japanese pair skater who, partnering with Ryuichi Kihara since 2019, has revolutionized Japan's pairs discipline by becoming the first Japanese pair to win multiple major titles, including the 2023 and 2025 World Championships, two Four Continents Championships (2023 and 2025), two Grand Prix Finals, and numerous ISU Grand Prix golds, while earning team silver medals at the 2022 Beijing Olympics and the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics—where they delivered standout performances like topping the pairs free skate with a personal best 155.55 to a "Gladiator" program and winning the short program segment. Born in Takarazuka, Hyōgo, in 2001, she began as a singles skater inspired by Disney characters like Mickey and Minnie, switched to pairs around age 12–14 after meeting coaches, and now trains in Oakville, Canada, while enjoying anime, watching shows, and even practicing karate for fun. Surprisingly, despite recurring shoulder injuries—including a dislocation in late 2025 that sidelined her briefly—she described post-recovery as being in the "best shape ever" with her shoulder feeling "stronger than ever," turning setbacks into strengths en route to Olympic success and podium dominance alongside Kihara.
