Aika Tanaku (Born on 7th May 2009.) is a Japanese-South Korean racing driver who is the 2038 Formula One World Champion. She is the only Asian Formula One World Champion and Pole Sitter as of today.

2013-2023
In 2012 when she was 3, she watched the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix on her Telly and loved watching it so much that she wanted to be a racer like the ones on TV.

She got a kart on her 4th birthday in 2013 and a few days later she went to the local kart track, New Tokyo Circuit, to test her skills at karting.

After only half a hour of practice, she was asked to participate in a local karting competition that would take place in a few days time and she agreed.

Her first karting tournament was the ヤングジャパニーズカートU5, (Young Japanese Karting U5.) and she placed 4th out of 12th.

She had major success in karting and in 2021 she won the Asia-Pacific Karting Championship-Cadet at 12. Her talent was spotted in the same year by former Formula One driver, Takuma Sato, who began to mentor the young Japanese karter.

In 2022 she moved to Europe for the first time in hopes of expanding her karting career as she was already one of the best current karters in Asia. She won the Italian Karting Championship-X30 Junior and the Italian Karting Cup-X30 Junior in the same year and gained national attention in Italy and Japan.

The next year she went into the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship-OK, and impressed everyone by scoring pole on her debut, the pole was followed by a win. This made her a future Formula 1 talent. The President of the CIK, Felipe Massa said about her performance: "I've never seen talent like this before,it reminds me of drivers such as Max, Charles, George, Jules and a few others. If she doesn't get a chance in a single seater car then I won't know what to say, she is the best female talent I've seen in a while."

Aika came 3rd in the championship, behind Tobi Schwarzkopf and the winner of the championship, Alexander Janowski.
