Шаблон:Nihongo is a Japanese martial artist and kickboxer. He competes in ONE Championship's bantamweight and flyweight division, where he is the former ONE Kickboxing Bantamweight World Champion.[1][2]

As of June 2022, he is ranked as the second-best featherweight kickboxer in the world by Combat Press. He's been ranked in the top ten since December 2021.[3][4] As of November 24, 2022, he is ranked #1 in the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing rankings.[5]

Background

Japanese-born Akimoto began his martial arts journey at the age of eight. He took up full contact karate[6] and became a top talent over his years of training. Both of his parents were instructors in the Shichishu-Kai, but he was never forced to participate. It was not until he was involved in a fight at school did he decide to take up martial arts.[7]

As his skills grew, he turned to competition. He did not stick with karate, and also competed in Muay Thai and kickboxing bouts. To get the most of his talents, Akimoto moved from Japan to Singapore to train at Evolve MMA and pursue a world title in ONE Championship.[8]

Kickboxing career

Akimoto got off to an incredible start to his professional career. He racked up 19 straight kickboxing victories that would lead him to be signed by ONE Championship.

ONE Championship

Early promotional career

Akimoto made his organizational debut with ONE Championship on January 25, 2019 at ONE Championship: Hero's Ascent. It was his first kickboxing bout in nearly six years.[9] Akimoto won the fight by unanimous decision.[10]

The now 20–0 striker returned to competition on March 31, 2019 at ONE Championship: A New Era against Joseph Lasiri.[11] Akimoto lost the bout by majority decision, suffering the first loss of his professional career.[12]

Akimoto faced Kenny Tse at ONE Championship: Masters Of Destiny on July 12, 2019. He won the fight by unanimous decision, successfully rebounding from his loss to Lasiri.[13]

Move to Bantamweight

Akimoto faced Zhang Chenglong at ONE Championship: Reign of Dynasties 2 on October 17, 2020.[14] He won the fight by split decision.[15] Due to the close decision, the pair were immediately booked for a rematch at ONE Championship: Fists Of Fury on February 26, 2021.[16] Akimoto was more convincing in the rematch, as he beat Zhang by unanimous decision.[17]

Akimoto faced former Wu Lin Feng kickboxing champion Qiu Jianliang at ONE: Winter Warriors on December 3, 2021.[18] He won the bout via unanimous decision.[19]

Bantamweight kickboxing champion

Akimoto (then the #2 ONE Kickboxing Bantamweight contender) challenged the reigning ONE Bantamweight kickboxing champion Capitan Petchyindee Academy at ONE: X on March 25, 2022.[20] He won the fight by unanimous decision, after controlling the final four rounds of the bout. Capitan was twice warned for illegal clinching and was deducted a point for it in the fourth round.[21][22] Akimoto was given the $50,000 Performance of the Night award as well,[23] and was named the March 2022 "Fighter of the Month" by eFight.[24]

Akimoto made his first ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World title defense against #4 ranked contender Petchtanong Petchfergus at ONE 163 on November 18, 2022.[25] He lost the fight by split decision (and also his second loss on his kickboxing career).[26]
