Biography & Poker Background
Originally from Osaka, Japan, Yosuke Miki is a versatile player who has successfully transitioned from local Japanese series like the Nippon Series and AJPC to major international stops. In early 2026, he gained international attention at the APT Jeju Classic by bagging the chip lead at the end of Day 1 in the Super High Roller, outperforming a star-studded field that included legends like John Juanda and Joseph Cheong. Miki is recognized as part of a highly disciplined new wave of Japanese pros who utilize technical study to compete in high-buy-in regional championships.

His strategic versatility is further evidenced by his cashes in diverse formats, including No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, and Mixed Draw games.
