Bruna Yumi Takahashi (born 19 July 2000) is a Brazilian table tennis player.[1] She represented Brazil at the Summer Olympics two times since 2016. She is one of the best Latin American players in the ITTF world ranking, after Puerto Rico's Adriana Diaz. Her sister Giulia Takahashi also plays table tennis.

Career

Takahashi competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics as part of the Brazilian team in the women's team event.[2] At the 2018 Youth Olympic Games, in Buenos Aires, she reached the quarterfinals of the individual tournament, losing only to China's Sun Yingsha, who finished with the gold medal. Thus, Takahashi finished in the top 8.[5]

At the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Takahashi was seeded No. 5 in women's singles.[6] She won four medals at the 2019 Pan American Games.[7] She also participated at the 2020 Summer Olympics, both in the individual and team events.[8][9]

In May 2022, Takahashi entered the top 20 of the ITTF world rankings in women's singles, making her the first Brazilian to achieve this feat.[10]
