Rikiya Otaka (大高力也, born 27 August 1991 in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese actor.

In 1997, when he was only six, he was chosen out of many young boys to play the part of the little seven year old Yoichi Asakawa in Ringu. Today, he is (alongside Hiroyuki Sanada who played Ryuji Takayama in Ringu) the most credited and popular male character in the entire Ringu series. He resorted his role as Yoichi a year after the first sequel Rasen was a failure in the cinemas. In Ringu 2, his character was the supporting male actor, so he was working twice as hard this time, but enjoyed every moment. It was fun playing Yoichi again.

In 2000, he was doing extras work, and even made a notable appearance in the hit TV series Karmen Rider. He then once again joined Hideo Nakata for a separate piece of work when he played Yuuchi in Sleeping Bride. He has also made small appearance in Kuroe and Umi wa miteita.
