Yuka Takaoka (高岡由佳, Takaoka Yuka, born January 28, 1998) is a Japanese woman known for having stabbed her boyfriend with a kitchen knife in their apartment in Shinjuku, Tokyo, in May 2019. She was found guilty of attempted murder in December 2019 and sentenced to 3+1⁄2 years in prison.
Takaoka gained an online following due to the circumstances of the attack and her physical appearance when she was described in media reports as a "real life yandere", a term in Japanese anime used to describe a girl who suddenly becomes aggressive, deranged, and homicidal towards a lover.
