Tatsuya Nakama (仲間 達也, born 23 October 1980) is a Japanese cardiologist and sports administrator.[1] He has served as president of the Japan Boxing Federation (JABF) since June 2024 and is director of the Department of Cardiology at the Tokyo Bay Urayasu Ichikawa Medical Center.[2] Nakama works both in cardiovascular medicine and in the administration of amateur boxing in Japan.

Early life and education

[edit]

Nakama was born in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, in 1980.[3] He studied medicine at the University of Miyazaki, graduating with an M.D. in 2005 after receiving his medical licence from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.[4] Between 2005 and 2007, Nakama completed his residency at the University of Miyazaki Hospital, gaining experience in emergency medicine, cardiology, surgery and intensive care. He later trained in cardiology at the Miyazaki Medical Association Hospital’s Cardiovascular Center.[5]

Medical career

[edit]

After his fellowship, Nakama joined the Miyazaki Medical Association Hospital as a cardiologist, where he worked for nearly a decade, focusing on coronary and peripheral vascular interventions.[6] He moved to the Tokyo Bay Urayasu Ichikawa Medical Center in 2018, becoming head of its cardiology department in 2024.[7] Nakama’s work mainly involves heart and blood vessel treatment, and he has been involved in medical research related to those conditions.[8]

Nakama holds academic appointments as an invited vice-professor at Juntendo University School of Medicine, a researcher at Jikei University School of Medicine, and a clinical professor at the Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine.[9] He is also a board member of the Research Association for Lower Limb Artery Revascularization (LIBERAL).[10]

Boxing and sports administration

[edit]

Before his medical career, Nakama competed as an amateur featherweight boxer and won gold medals at the 1998 All Kyushu and 1998 All Okinawa High School Tournaments.[11]

He later contributed to the sport as a medical official and administrator. From 2005 to 2018, he served on the Medical Committee of the Miyazaki Boxing Federation and was certified as a sports doctor by the Japan Sport Association (JSPO) in 2023. Within the Japan Boxing Federation, Nakama became a board member in 2018, was elected executive director in 2020, and succeeded to the presidency in 2024.[12] Under his leadership, the federation has focused on improving safety standards, supporting women’s boxing, and maintaining boxing’s status as an Olympic discipline.[13]

He also serves as an interim board member of Asian Boxing and participates in regional boxing governance activities.[14]
