Noritaka Kasama ( Japanese 笠 間 法 考 , Kasama Noritaka ; born March 21, 1974 ) is a former Japanese ski jumper .

Kasama started his international career in 1993 in the Ski Jumping Continental Cup . In the first two years, however, he was unsuccessful and only ended up in 127th place in the overall Continental Cup standings. After he achieved better performance in the 1995/96 season, he was nominated on January 20, 1996 for the first time for a jumping in the Ski Jumping World Cup . In jumping from the normal hill in Sapporo he finished 19th and was able to win his first World Cup points in his first World Cup competition. He also won World Cup points in the second competition on the large hill with 27th place and ended the 1995/96 season in 73rd place in the overall World Cup ranking. In the following years he was unable to build on this success. Neither in his three other World Cup competitions nor in the Continental Cup did he get a top placement. After the 1999/00 season, Kasama ended his active ski jumping career.
