Professional kickboxing career

SNKA & JKA

Tsubasa made his professional debut against Yuma Sano at JKA "KICK Insist 6" on November 6, 2016. He won the fight by unanimous decision.[3] Next year, at SNKA "WINNERS 2017 2nd" on May 14, Tsubasa would fight to a career first decision draw against Kyohei Furumura.[4]

Tsubasa faced Tetsu Ittokan at KICK Insist 8 on November 11, 2018. He won the fight by a second-round technical knockout.[5] Tsubasa won all four of his fights in 2019 as well, as he knocked out Kazuya Kato on January 6,[6] and Ryohei Tanaka on May 12,[7] and was able to overcome both Ryuji Ebihara on August 4,[8] and Ryohei Tanaka in a vacant JKA Bantamweight title bout on November 9, by unanimous decision.[9]

Tsubasa was expected to face Ikko Ota at KICK Insist 10 on March 15, 2020, in a "JKA vs. NJKF" themed bout. The entire event was later postponed until November 22, due to measures implemented to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Tsubasa lost the fight by unanimous decision.[10][11]

Tsubasa faced the WMC Japan Super Bantamweight champion Yugo Kato in a non-title bout at NO KICK NO LIFE on July 22, 2021. He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[12]

He won the fight by an upset technical decision.[16][17] The bout was stopped four seconds before the end of the second round, due to an accidental clash of heads which left a cut above Tsubasa's right eye.[18]
