BWF profile

Kumiko Ogura (小椋 久美子, Ogura Kumiko; born 5 July 1983) is a Japanese badminton player, affiliated with the Sanyo Electric team.[1]

Born in Kawagoe, Mie, Ogura started playing badminton at the age of eight. During her first year at Shitennoji Senior High School, she joined the Japanese junior team. After graduating from high school in 2002, she joined the Sanyo Electric team.[2]

Partnered with Reiko Shiota, Ogura finished second in the women's doubles at the 2005 Asian Championships. The pair then won their first World Grand Prix title at the 2005 Denmark Open. In 2006, they won a bronze medal at the Doha 2006 Asian Games after losing to Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen in the semifinals. They also won bronze at the 2007 World Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In May 2008, Ogura and Shiota were ranked 6th in the BWF World Ranking and qualified for the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics.[3] At the Olympics, they won their first round match against the Danish pair of Lena Frier Kristiansen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl in a rubber match, but lost in straight games to Du Jing and Yu Yang of China in the second round.[4]

In March 2010, she retired from the Sanyo team and joined Kay Enterprises as a coach.

In March 2011, she married Japanese rugby union player Daisuke Yamamoto, but in September 2012, she filed for divorce.[5][6]
