Hiroko Yamanaka (山中 裕子 Yamanaka Hiroko?), more commonly known simply as Hiroko (styled in capitals) and nicknamed Incomplete Queen (未完の女王 mikan no joō?) or Cat's Eye, is a retired Japanese female mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. She fought for Invicta FC, Strikeforce and Jewels, and was the final Smackgirl Open Weight Champion. Yamanaka announced her retirement on August 6, 2013.
Yamanaka was born on October 24, 1978 in Kisarazu, Chiba, Japan. Through a personal friend’s suggestion, Yamanaka initially took on mixed martial arts for health and fitness purposes only. After time, she found the sport of MMA agreed with her physicality and became more involved, fighting her first official match in May 2006.
Her first MMA fight was a draw against Mariko Fujimoto in a match with Smackgirl amateur rules on May 14, 2006 at S-Keep: Eggs Fight 4.
Her next fight was in the Super Gals Mix Cup Open Weight Tournament 1st Round against Rie Murakami, whom Yamanaka defeated by unanimous decision on November 29, 2006 at Smackgirl: Legend of Extreme Women. This was her professional debut.
