Yo Takagi (髙木 謠, Takagi Yo; born December 15, 2007) is a Japanese figure skater. She is the 2024 Youth Olympic bronze medalist, the 2024 JGP Thailand silver medalist, the 2023 JGP Japan silver medalist, and 2023 Coupe du Printemps junior silver medalist.

Takagi was born on December 15, 2007, in Tokyo, Japan.

She is currently a student at Tokyo Joshi Gakuin Senior High School.

Takagi began skating in 2012. She originally trained at the Meiji Jingu Gaien Figure Skating Club in Tokyo before relocating to Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture to train at the MF Figure Skating Academy following its opening in 2021. There, Kensuke Nakaniwa, Makoto Nakata, Momoe Nagumo, Aya Tanoue, and Akane Seo became her coaches.

She made her debut at the 2021–22 Japan Junior National Championships, finishing tenth.

The following season, Takagi finished seventh at the 2022–23 Japan Junior Championships. Due to this top eight finish, she was selected to compete at the 2022–23 Japan Senior Championships. She would ultimately place twenty-first at those championships.

Takagi then made her international debut at the 2023 Coupe du Printemps in Luxembourg, where she won the silver medal on the junior level behind teammate, Ami Nakai.

Takagi began the season by debuting on the Junior Grand Prix circuit. She finished fourth at 2023 JGP Thailand before going on to compete at 2023 JGP Japan, winning the silver medal behind Mao Shimada. Following the event, Takagi said, "I'm happy because I didn't think I would get a personal best. I learned that I was able to persevere and not give up even when I failed." With these results, Takagi was named as the first alternate to the Junior Grand Prix Final.

Competing at the 2023–24 Japan Junior Championships, Takagi finished fourth. With this result, combined with her placements on the Junior Grand Prix series, Takagi was selected to represent Japan at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics and named as Japan's first alternate to compete at the 2024 World Junior Championships. She was also selected to compete at the 2023–24 Japan Senior Championships due to her top eight finish at the junior championships. At the senior championships, Takagi finished twenty-third.

Competing at the 2024 Youth Olympics, Takagi scored a personal best in the short program, finishing second in that segment of the competition behind Shimada, and narrowly ahead of South Korean Shin Ji-a. In the free skate, she landed four clean triple jumps, having singled a planned triple lutz, and finished fifth in the segment. However, she maintained a podium placement, winning the bronze medal behind Shimada and Shin.

Competing on the Junior Grand Prix circuit, Takagi started the season by winning silver at 2024 JGP Thailand and finishing fifth at 2024 JGP China.

In late November, Takagi competed at the 2024–25 Japan Junior Championships, where she came in fourteenth place.

Takagi began the season by competing on the Junior Grand Prix series, finishing seventh at 2025 JGP Latvia.

In late November, she competed at the 2025–26 Japan Junior Championships and finished in eleventh place. With this result, she was invited to compete at the senior national championships, where she finished in seventeenth place.
