K-Jee (born 5 November 1990) is a Japanese male kickboxer and the former K-1 Cruiserweight Champion, as well as the current Krush Cruiserweight champion.[2]

Kickboxing career[edit]

He took part in the 2017 Heavyweight Grand Prix, but lost to the eventual winner Antonio Plazibat in the quarterfinals.[3] He bounced back with a TKO win over Shinya Uemura, during Krush 89.[4]

K-Jee participated in the 2018 K-1 Cruiserweight Grand Prix, for the inaugural K-1 Cruiserweight title. He beat Brian McGrath by TKO in the quarterfinals, but lost a unanimous decision to Sina Karimian in the semifinals.[5]

K-Jee won his next two fights, knocking Yuki Kudo out with a flying knee during Krush 97,[6] and Hitoshi Sugimoto with a right hook during Krush 101.[7]

He fought for his first major title during Krush 104, when he fought Rui Hanazawa for the Krush Cruiserweight title. He defeated Hanazawa by a second round TKO.[8][9]

K-Jee was scheduled to fight Hisaki Kato in December 2019. Kato won the fight by a second round TKO.[10] The two of them fought a rematch three months later, during Krush 112, which was to be K-Jee's first title defense.[11] K-Jee won the fight by a first round knockout.[12]

K-1 Jee was scheduled to fight Sina Karimian for the K-1 Cruiserweight title during the K-1 World GP event in Fukuoka. He won the fight by TKO, forcing Karimian's corner to throw in the towel midway through the first round.[13] Despite knocking Sina twice in the first round, K-Jee would lost the fight by a second-round knockout.[14]
