Yuna Aoki (

2015–16 season: Junior debut and injury Shortly before the 2015–16 season, Aoki developed spondylolysis following a hard fall on a triple axel attempt in practice. This injury greatly hindered her training. Looking back on this injury, Aoki stated, "It first took a year for my spine to separate, and then another year after that. It hurt when I was skating, and even moving back and forth in my daily life hurt. Jumping hurt, and spins and other movements that require a lot of bending are a strain on my body." She further detailed how her parents tried encouraging her to quit skating due to how much pain she was in but Aoki persisted onwards due to her love for the sport.

2024–25 season: First Grand Prix medal Beginning her season on the 2024–25 Grand Prix series, Aoki finished seventh at 2024 Skate America. Aoki finished fifth in the free skate segment, but her lead from the short program put her third overall with a new personal best total score of 195.07. She won her first Grand Prix medal, and she rounded out a Japanese women's podium sweep at the competition alongside Kaori Sakamoto and Mone Chiba. Chloe Flower, the composer of Aoki's free program music, also took to her Instagram, where she praised Aoki's performance and thanked her for "bringing life to my song."

In October 2024, Aoki joined forces with Olympic champion Shizuka Arakawa, Olympic bronze medalist Daisuke Takahashi, Kana Muramoto, Takahito Mura, Kazuki Tomono, Keiji Tanaka, Kosho Oshima, Yuto Kishina and Rena Uezono to launch the members-only official fan community F-Ske on the platform FANICON.

Going on to compete at the 2024–25 Japan Championships in December, Aoki finished the event in twelfth place. She was also named as the second alternate for the 2026 Winter Olympic team.

The following month, Aoki won the women's title at the 2026 Four Continents Championships, her first ever senior championship appearance. She set new ISU personal best scores in both the short program and free skate, beating her previous personal best total score from the 2024 NHK Trophy by over 20 points and defeating Olympic team members Ami Nakai and Mone Chiba. About the result, she said, "I haven't really thought that I would medal and this result would come. It hasn't really sunk in. I'm very grateful and happy about the result. I'm happy to achieve my personal best today. I feel like the results that I had was what I've been building on."
