Shortly afterwards, at the so-called "Meiji" Cup in Tokyo, a national invitation tournament, the decision was made as to who may represent Japan in this weight class at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . Here sat Shinobu Ōta by. Ken'ichirō Fumita won the Golden Grand Prix in Baku in November 2016 in front of three world-class athletes, namely Firuz Tuchtajew , Uzbekistan, Kanibek Scholchubekow , and Mingijan Semjonow , Russia , indicating his great potential.

In May 2017 Ken'ichirō Fumita was Asian champion in New Delhi ahead of Meirambek Ainagulow, Ri Sin-myong, North Korea and Saman Abdouvali, Iran.
