Ogata started taking part in karate at the age of 7 and she became national junior karate champion when she was 10, but at age 13, she quit karate and started to practice judo.[1]

Ogata won a bronze medal in the half-heavyweight (78 kg) division at the 2010 World Judo Championships, and silver a year later.[2] She has also won silver at the 2010 Asian Games. Ogata had previously won the 2009 World Juniors Championships in that weight division.[2]

Ogata's favorite techniques are uchimata, ōuchi gari and sankaku-jime.

She started her MMA career in 2022 with a fight in the Japanese MMA league Shooto, during which time she fought once and won by referee stoppage.
