Tomoa Narasaki (楢﨑 智亜, Narasaki Tomoa; born June 22, 1996) is a Japanese professional rock climber who specializes in bouldering and competition bouldering. Narasaki started climbing at age 10, together with Sachi Amma, in Sachi's family climbing gym. Previously, he had been training apparatus gymnastics. Narasaki won the IFSC World Championships in bouldering in 2016 and 2019, and was also the overall winner of the IFSC Climbing World Cup for bouldering in 2016 and 2019. Narasaki formerly held the Japanese record for competition speed climbing with a time of 5.73 seconds, which he secured in March 2021 at the Climbing Japan Cup speed competition. He devised the "Tomoa skip", a speed climbing technique to bypass one of the lower holds on the speed climbing wall. The Tomoa skip is now implemented by nearly all competitive speed climbers. In 2019, Narasaki qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo by winning the combined bouldering and lead climbing event at the 2019 IFSC Climbing World Championships. He went on to place fourth in the combined event at the Olympics. In 2023, Narasaki qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris by placing third in the combined event at the 2023 IFSC Climbing World Championships.
