Kouki Kameda (born November 17 1986) is a Japanese professional boxer and the oldest of the "Kameda 3 Brothers". His younger brothers, Daiki and Tomoki, are also boxers. Currently, Kameda is the reigning WBA Junior Fly Weight champion. As of August 2006 he is undefeated with a 12-0 record (10 knockouts).

Legacy

Kameda and his younger brothers are perhaps some of Japan's most hyped young boxers ever. Their father trained them in their Osaka home since when they were very young. All three of them soon caught the eyes of the media as they started winning in virtually every amateur boxing tournament. Kouki and Daiki have since turned professional and are both currently undefeated. The youngest brother, Tomoki, is training for the Beijing Olympics.

Title Bout vs. Landaeta

On August 2, 2006 in his first attempt for the world title, Kameda squared off with Juan Landaeta of Venezuela in Yokohama, Japan. The fight was rather controversial as Kameda won the fight in a 2-1 split decision despite getting knocked out in the first round and being dominated in the final 2 rounds. Nonetheless, Kameda, only 19, showed great potential with his aggressive fighting style and superior technique.
