Misaki Morita
Japanese kickboxer
Misaki Morita (Japanese: 森田 実沙樹, Morita Misaki; born February 2, 1996), more popularly known by her ring name MISAKI, is a Japanese kickboxer. She is the current Shootboxing Women's Atomweight (-46 kg) champion.
As of November 2023, she is the #8 ranked women's atomweight kickboxer in the world according to Beyond Kickboxing.
Early life
Morita took up karate in early elementary school, after being pressured to do so by her father who was a Kūdō instructor, in order to lose weight and begin socializing. She quickly left the sport however, as she disliked getting beaten in sparring by the older students. Morita avoided all extra curricular activities and after-school clubs from that point on and only took up shoot boxing at the age of 16 in order to lose weight. Morita began training at the Grappling Shoot Boxers Toyohashi, which was owned by her father, and entered her first amateur tournament, held to determine the SB Amateur West Japan National Team representatives, in 2015. She lost her very first fight, but was inspired to continue competing after seeing Mio Tsumura and Rena Kubota at the same event. Morita won the SB All Japan Amateur Tournament the next year and turned pro soon afterwards.

Why this record matters
The phrase “japanese kickboxer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q59135121. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 2023, 2015 and 2016.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
