Miku Matsumoto (known in Japan as MIKU) (松本未来, Matsumoto Miku), born June 26, 1981, is a female Japanese mixed martial artist. She retired as the DEEP Women's Lightweight (106-Pound) Champion in 2010.[1]
Growing up, Matsumoto studied piano and penmanship and was not interested in sports. She began training in MMA as a part-time job to kill time and save money after studying overseas but went on to become one of the most successful female mixed martial artists in the world.[2]
On February 28, 2010 at DEEP: 46th Impact, Matsumoto confirmed weeks of speculation by announcing that she would be retiring from mixed martial arts.[3] She officially retired following an exhibition match with Megumi Fujii at DEEP: 47th Impact on April 17, 2010.[1]
