Biography
Jinnosuke Kashimura is a Japanese bantamweight competing out of Battle Box, known as a submission-hunting grappler with a fast-finishing top game. As of July 2026 he is 12-6 as a professional, with the bulk of his wins coming by first-round finishes rather than decisions.
Kashimura built his run to a RIZIN title shot on the back of two wins: a unanimous-decision win over Hyuma Yasui at RIZIN LANDMARK 12 in Kobe on November 2, 2025, followed by a first-round technical submission of veteran Hideo Tokoro at RIZIN 52 on March 7, 2026 -- a result that pushed him into his first title shot.
That run ended at RIZIN LANDMARK 15 on July 18, 2026, where Kashimura challenged reigning champion Danny Sabatello for the RIZIN bantamweight title and was knocked out 40 seconds into the third round. At 24 years old, Kashimura's calling card remains first-round finishes -- the same signature that carried him to the title shot in the first place.
