Career 2024 Otake and Takahashi competed in the Taipei Open in September. It was their first time reaching the quarter-finals of a tournament at this level. They reached the finals of two Super 100 tournaments. They were runners-up at the Indonesia Masters, losing to Jesita Putri Miantoro and Febi Setianingrum. They then won the Vietnam Open, defeating Tidapron Kleebyeesun and Nattamon Laisuan to win their first BWF World Tour title. Otake and Takahashi made their Super 500 tournament debut at the Japan Masters in November, where they lost in the first round to the sixth-seeded Chinese pair Jia Yifan and Zhang Shuxian.
2025: German Open champion
Otake was selected as a member of the 2025 Japan National Team in the women's doubles with Takahashi, coached by Kei Nakashima and Mizuki Fujii. Otake and Takahashi won their first Super 300 tournament this year at the German Open in March, defeating the first seed Gabriela and Stefani Stoeva. In May, the pair also reached the final of the Super 300 Taipei Open, where they finished as runner-up to Hsieh Pei-shan and Hung En-tzu. Following these results, on 29 July 2025, Takahashi and Otake achieved a career-high women's doubles ranking of world No. 22.
2025: Super 300 title and hip injury In 2025, Otake and Miyu Takahashi were selected for the Japanese national team. They won their first BWF World Tour Super 300 title at the German Open, defeating top seeds Gabriela Stoeva and Stefani Stoeva in the final. In May, they reached another Super 300 final at the Taipei Open. After reaching the second round at both the Japan Open and China Open in July, the pair achieved a career-high world ranking of No. 22.
However, following the China Open, their partnership was interrupted by Otake's persistent hip problem. She had been unable to train properly for approximately six months, while Takahashi continued training individually. The pair returned at the All Japan Championships in December, but were eliminated in the third round. With her hip-joint pain still unresolved, Otake was scheduled to undergo surgery in January 2026.
2026 Otake underwent hip surgery in January 2026, after which she began a prolonged rehabilitation period. Six months after the operation, she reported that her mobility was continuing to improve, although she had not yet made a full recovery.
