[7] In June 2015, Japanese media reported that Kihara had teamed up with former single skater Miu Suzaki, with whom he would continue to train in Michigan.

After winning their first international medal (bronze) at the Asian Open Trophy in early August 2016 in Manila, Suzaki/Kihara took silver at the Japan Championships in December.

Ranked twelfth in the short program and fourteenth in the free skate, they finished thirteenth overall at the 2017 Four Continents Championships, held in February in Gangneung, South Korea.

[14] The free skate proved more successful, allowing them to claim the Japanese national title and assignments to the ISU championships in the second half of the season.

[19][20][21] Miura/Kihara spent the period after the World Team Trophy training in Japan and the United States before returning to Canada in September upon the reopening of the borders.

They began their season at the 2021 CS Autumn Classic International, where they won both segments of competition and set new personal bests to take the gold medal overall.

She noted training issues and expressed dissatisfaction that she had been unable to fix the problem but that they were nevertheless satisfied to have achieved their goal of winning a medal.

[25] Miura/Kihara's results qualified them to the Grand Prix Final, but it was subsequently cancelled due to restrictions prompted by the Omicron variant.

[27] Skating the free segment as well, they finished in second place there, taking nine points for the Japanese team, which went on to win the bronze medal.

[28] In the pairs event, Miura doubled her triple jump attempt in the short program, as a result of which they placed eighth in the segment.

[30] Days after the Olympics concluded, Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine, as a result of which the International Skating Union banned all Russian and Belarusian skaters from competing at the 2022 World Championships.

As those countries' athletes comprised the entirety of the top five pairs at the Olympics, this hugely impacted the field, and Miura/Kihara entered as medal favourites.

[31] In the short program, Miura put a hand down after stepping out on their throw triple Lutz, but they finished third in the segment, taking a bronze small medal.

"[33] Their coach, Bruno Marcotte, countered that "I told them to look at their silver medals and think: 'This is the result of all the work you did, all the competitions, the year and a half that you had to stay in Canada, away from your families, because of COVID-19.

'"[34] In July, Miura injured her left shoulder while skating in a Japanese ice show during the off-season, which kept the pair from significant training until September.

Despite this, Miura/Kihara managed to win gold at their first Grand Prix event, the 2022 Skate Canada International, becoming the first Japanese pair team ever to do so.

[37] Weeks later, they competed at their second assignment, the 2022 NHK Trophy in Sapporo, winning the short program with a new personal best score, nearly 14 points clear of Americans Chan/Howe in second.

Because of their lost skates, they were unable to compete at the championship, though the federation said they would still be considered for international assignments in the second half of the season.

[44] With principal rivals Knierim/Frazier not attending the 2023 Four Continents Championships in favour of Art on Ice shows, Miura/Kihara entered the event as heavy favourites for the gold medal.

[45] Miura fell on a downgraded triple toe jump attempt in the short program, but the team still won that segment by a margin of 2.80 points over Canadians Stellato/Deschamps.

[46][47] Miura/Kihara won the free skate as well, albeit narrowly over Chan/Howe, with some jump errors and Kihara visibly struggling with low oxygen levels due to the high mountain location in Colorado Springs.

They won the short program by a wide margin over Knierim/Frazier, clearing the 80-point threshold for the first time in their careers, which Miura described as "our goal for this season" afterward.

[50] They finished second in the free skate, Miura having doubled a planned triple jump and fallen on a throw, but remained comfortably in first place overall and took the gold medal.

[57] At the 2024 World Championships in Montreal, Miura/Kihara had minor errors on their throw and side-by-side jumps that saw them place second in that segment with a score of 73.53, 3.95 points behind leaders Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps of Canada.
