Career

2024

Otake and Takahashi competed in the 2024 Taipei Open in September. It was their first time reaching the quarterfinals of a tournament at this level. They started by defeating fifth seeds Sung Shuo-yun and Yu Chien-hui of Chinese Taipei.[2] Their winning streak continued in the next round with a win over the Indonesian duo of Lanny Tria Mayasari and Rachel Allessya Rose.[3] However, their run ended in the quarterfinals against the second seeds Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma and Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi of Indonesia after a hard-fought 72-minute, three-game match.[4]

Otake and Takahashi reached the finals of two Super 100 tournaments. They were runners-up at the 2024 Indonesia Masters Super 100 I, losing to the Indonesian pair Jesita Putri Miantoro and Febi Setianingrum.[5] They then won the 2024 Vietnam Open, defeating the Thailand pair Tidapron Kleebyeesun and Nattamon Laisuan to win their first BWF World Tour title.[6]
