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 light flyweight champion. 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 Jose 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 down in the first round and being dominated in the final 2 rounds. Most Japanese boxing fans even declared Kameda was the shame of their nation, or like a female supporter who saw the fight herself said, "wished hadn't come to see this." It is suspected Kameda's side bribed one or several judge members, most notably the Korean judge, who clearly supported Kameda in his decision. Nonetheless, Kameda, only 19, showed great potential with his aggressive fighting style and superior technique.
