Mixed martial arts career[edit]

Shooto[edit]

Kume started his professional career in 2007. He fought mainly for Shooto, but also fought for Pancrase and Heat early in his career.

Kume faced Takuya Sato on December 13, 2008, at Shooto: The Rookie Tournament 2008 Final. While the fight was officially ruled a draw (19–19, 19–19, 19–19), Kume lost an extra round (10–9, 10–9, 10–9) and Sato was crowned the 2008 Shooto 167-pound rookie champion.[1]

Kume faced Yoichiro Sato on August 7, 2010, at Shooto: Gig Tokyo 5 for the Shooto Pacific Rim 167-pound title. He lost via unanimous decision after three rounds.[2]

Kume faced UFC veteran Shane Nelson on February 12, 2012, at Shooto: Gig Central 24 – Love and Courage. He won via submission due to a rear-naked choke in the second round.[3]

In 2012, Kume signed with ROAD FC to compete in the lightweight tournament.[4]

Road Fighting Championship[edit]

Kume faced Chang Hyun Kim on September 15, 2012, at Road FC 9: Beatdown in the lightweight tournament quarterfinal. He won via submission due to a rear-naked choke in the first round.[5]

In the semifinal on November 24, 2012, at Road FC 10: Monson vs. Kang, Kume faced Chul Yoon. Once again he won via submission due to a rear-naked choke in round one.[6]

In the final on April 13, 2013, at Road FC 11, Kume faced Yui Chul Nam. The fight went to an extra (fourth) round after the judges were unable to decide a winner. Kume lost the extra round via unanimous decision and Nam became the first-ever Road FC lightweight champion.[7]

Kume was given an immediate rematch with Nam for the title on October 12, 2013, at Road FC 13. He lost via unanimous decision after three rounds.[8]

Pancrase[edit]

On April 24, 2016, he fought against Eiji Ishikawa, who was ranked 9th in the lightweight ranking, at PANCRASE 277, which was the first bout in about a year since he underwent surgery for retinal detachment. He won the 2–1 split decision.[9]

On September 11, 2016, he fought against the champion Kazuki Tokudome in the PANCRASE 280 Lightweight King of Pancrase title match . After overwhelming Tokudome with a stand hit from 1R, he finally won the TKO with a pound and succeeded in winning the title.[10]

On December 10, 2017, he rematched with Kazuki Tokudome, who ranked first in the lightweight ranking, in the PANCRASE 292 Lightweight King of Pancrase title match. 81 seconds after the start of the bout, he won a KO with a left hook and succeeded in defending for the first time .[11]

Kume fought against former UFC fighter Anton Kuivanen at PANCRASE 297 on July 1, 2018 . He received a punch just before the end of 2R and suffered the first knockout loss in his career.

Kume was scheduled to rematch Anton Kuivanen for the lightweight King of Pancrase title match on 2019 April 14 at PANCRASE 304. However, Kuivanen ruptured his left biceps, leading him to be replaced by HEAT lightweight champion Tom Santos. In 3R, he won a very single triangle choke from the mount position and succeeded in defending for the second time.[12]

On October 13, 2019, at ONE Championship: Century Part 2 Pancrase x Shooto battle, Kume fought against Shooto champion Mitsufumi Matsumoto . He took advantage of the ground control in the 1st and 3rd rounds, and won the 3–0 decision .[13]

On December 12, 2021, he played against the provisional champion, Tatsuya Saiga, in the PANCRASE 325 Lightweight King of Pancrase Championships. In the first round, he was knocked down by the right uppercut counter, but in the 2nd round, he won a come-from-behind victory by armbar, and succeeded in defending the title and unifying the title for the third time.[14]
