Tomoko Ogawa (?? ??, Ogawa Tomoko, born April 14, 1978) is a Japanese boulderer.
In 2012, she sent Catharsis, a route in Shiobara established by Dai Koyamada and confirmed by Daniel Woods, to become the first woman ever to climb a V14 (8B+).
Since then, only three other women -- Ashima Shiraishi, Shauna Coxsey, and Alex Puccio—have sent problems of that level.
Ogawa began climbing in 2000, at age 22.
Her other notable ascents include Caramba 8a+, Mutante 8a+, Akugeki 8a/8a+, Atomic Playboy 8a, Hatchling 8a, and No Late Tenders 8a.
