About Kyōko Nagatsuka

Born 1974. Kyōko Nagatsuka is a Japanese tennis player.

Kyōko Nagatsuka (, born February 22, 1974) is a Japanese former professional tennis player. She achieved a career-high ranking of world No. 28 on 14 August 1995. In doubles, she reached as high as No. 31 in June 1995.

She won the 12-and-under championships of Japan in 1986, and the under-16 in 1989.

Nagatsuka reached three singles finals on the WTA Tour but failed to win the title in any of them.

Playing for the Japan Fed Cup team, she has a win–loss record of 2–4.

Since her retirement, she has briefly worked as a coach with Akiko Morigami.
