Kickboxing career

RISE

edit

Hitachi made his professional debut against the future RISE featherweight (-57.5 kg) champion Keisuke Monguchi on the prelims of RISE 128 on November 2, 2018. He lost the fight by a first-round technical knockout.[3] Hitachi next faced Masaaki Ono at RISE EVOL.2 on February 8, 2019.[4] He won the fight by unanimous decision, with two judges scoring the bout 29–28 in his favor, while the third judge awarded Hitachi all three rounds of the bout.[5] Hitachi failed to build on this victory however, as he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Ryosuke Nakazawa at RISE EVOL.3 on April 26, 2019, with all three judges scoring the fight 29–28 for Nakazawa.[6][7]

Hitachi faced Masaumi Shimizu at RISE WEST ZERO on July 28, 2019. He won the fight by a third-round knockout, the first stoppage victory of his professional career.[8] Hitachi faced REITO BRAVELY at Rise West 12 on December 8, 2019, in his fourth and final fight of the year. The bout was ruled a split decision draw. Two of the judges awarded a 30–29 scorecard to Hitachi and REITO respectively, while the third judge scored the fight as an even 29–29 draw.[9]

After amassing a 2–2–1 record in his first five fights, Hitachi was booked to face Masanori Shimada at the fifth iteration of the RISE EVOL series, which was held on February 10, 2020.[10] He won the fight by a second-round knockout, flooring Shimada with a right hook at the 1:54 minute mark of the round.[11]

Hitachi faced Shun Onishi at Rise 149 on May 23, 2021, following a 15-month absence from competition. It was his first appearance on a numbered RISE event since his debut in November 2018. Hitachi won the fight by a second-round knockout. He dropped Onishi with a right straight near the end of the round, which left him unable to rise from the canvas in time to beat the eight-count.[12]

These two victories earned Hitachi the #7 ranking in the RISE super featherweight division, as well as a fight with the #5 ranked contender SEIDO. The bout was booked for the undercard of Rise 152, which took place on October 22, 2021.[13] He won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 30–29, 30–28 and 30–28.[14]

Hitachi took a slight step-down in competition in his next bout, as he was scheduled to fight the top-ranked DEEP KICK super featherweight contender Taisei Iwago at Rise 154 on January 23, 2022.[15] He won the fight by a second-round knockout, stopping Iwago with a right hook with just three seconds left in the round.[16]

Hitachi faced the top ranked RISE super featherweight contender Yusaku Ishizuki at Rise El Dorado 2022 on April 2, 2022.[17] He won the fight by a first-round knockout. He first forced the referee to step in, and call a knockdown, with a flurry of punches just past the midway point of the opening round. The referee waved the fight off soon after, as Ishizuki appeared unresponsive to Hitachi's hooking punches.[18]

As he was unable to get a fight with the reigning RISE super featherweight champion Chan Hyung Lee, who was obliged to fight the interim titlist Kazuma, Hitachi faced the two-weight Shootboxing champion Yuki Kasahara at SHOOT BOXING 2022 act.4 on September 14, 2022.[19] He won the fight by a second-round knockout.[20]

Hotachi challenged Chan Hyung Lee for the RISE Super Featherweight Championship at RISE 164 on January 28, 2023.[21] The fight was ruled a majority decision draw after the first five rounds, with one judge scoring the bout 49–48 for Lee, while the remaining two judges scored it an even 48–48. Lee was awarded the unanimous decision after an extra sixth round was contested.[22]

Hitachi faced the one-time K-1 Super Featherweight champion Taiga at RISE World Series 2023 - 2nd Round on August 26, 2023.[23] He lost the fight by unanimous decision, after an extra fourth round was contested.[24]

Hitachi faced promotional newcomer Katsuji at RISE WORLD SERIES 2023 Final Round on December 16, 2023.[25] He won the fight by a second-round knockout.[26]

Hitachi faced the former Krush Featherweight and K-1 Featherweight champion Yuki Egawa at K-1 World MAX 2024 - World Tournament Opening Round on March 20, 2024.[27] He lost the fight by split decision, after an extra fourth round was contested.[28]

Hitachi faced Alisher Karmenov at RISE WORLD SERIES 2024 YOKOHAMA on September 8, 2024.[29]
