Kickboxing career

Anpo made his professional debut against Takayuki Tsujita at HOOST CUP KINGS WEST on November 16, 2014. He won the fight by a first-round knockout. Anpo made his next HOOST CUP appearance against Takuya Taira at HOOST CUP SPIRIT5 on March 1, 2015. He once again won the fight by a first-round stoppage.

Anpo made his Krush debut opposite Yuki Miwa at Krush.69 on September 30, 2016. He won the fight by a first-round knockout. Anpo next faced Tatsuya Inaishi at Krush.71 on December 18, 2016. He won the fight by majority decision, with two judges scoring the bout 30–29 in his favor, while the third judge scored the bout as an even 29–29 draw.

Anpo faced Leona Pettas for the vacant Krush Super Featherweight title at Krush.76 on May 28, 2017, in the finals of the 2017 Krush Super Featherweight tournament. Anpo had earned his place in the tournament finals with a first-round knockout of Masahiro Yamamoto in the quarterfinals and a decision victory over Masanobu Goshu in the semifinals. He achieved his career-best win, as he beat Pettas by unanimous decision, with two scorecards of 30–28 and one scorecard of 30–29.

Anpo made his first Krush title defense against Masanobu Goshu at Krush.81 on October 1, 2017. He lost the fight by split decision.

Anpo faced Hayato at Krush.89 on June 30, 2018. He won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 30–29, 30–28 and 30–29.

On December 8, 2018, Riku lost his K-1 debut at the K-1 World GP 2018: K-1 Lightweight World Tournament event when Taio Asahisa beat him by Unanimous decision. He suffered a late third round knock down.

Featherweight

Anpo stayed inactive for most of the 2019 year due to injuries sustained in training. On November 24 he participated in the K-1 Featherweight World Grand Prix and lost by KO in the first round to Jawsuayai Sor.Dechaphan in quarter final. He lost in the first round, due to a body shot knockout.

Lightweight

Anpo was expected to face Shoya at Krush 139 on July 30, 2022, in what was supposed to be his lightweight debut and his first fight in 32 months. He was forced to withdraw from the bout at the official weigh-ins however, as he was diagnosed with hypokalemia caused by the weight cut.

Anpo faced Koya Saito in a super lightweight (-65 kg) bout at Bigbang 46 on June 18, 2023. He lost the fight by unanimous decision.
