I'm starting to really like this Kameda kid since watching him in his last few fights. He's only 23 and still improving, already a 2 weight world champ and could clean out 112. Technically he's the lineal champ since he beat Naito and the lineage can be trace back, but the Ring Magazine will recognize his fight with Wonjongkam on 3/27 for it's Ring champion.
His fight with Naito in December of '09 was the most watched combat sporting event in Japan with more than half the country tuning in. MMA has a market in Japan, but even they can't draw those numbers compared to it's top boxing matches.
