{{nihongo|'''Shinichi Kojima'''|小島伸一|Kojima Shin'ichi|extra=born February 6, 1979}} is a Japanese [[mixed martial arts|mixed martial artist]]. He has fought for most of his career in the [[Shooto]] organization.

==Mixed martial arts career==
Kojima was the [[Shooto]] [[Flyweight (MMA)|Bantamweight]] Champion from 2006 until 2010, when an ACL injury in his right knee prevented him from defending the [[List of Shooto champions#Bantamweight Championship|title]] in the mandatory time period.<ref name="story">[http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Inoue-Hioki-Announced-for-May-30-Shooto-23384 Inoue-Hioki Announced for May 30 Shooto]</ref> Kojima had the most famous flyweight feud to date with former reigning champion [[Mamoru Yamaguchi]].<ref name="A Brief History of Flyweight Time">[http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/a-brief-history-of-flyweight-time-16636 A Brief History of Flyweight Time]</ref>

===ONE Fighting Championship===
Kojima made his debut at the organization with a submission win over Filipino Rey Docyogen at [[ONE FC Events#ONE Fighting Championship: Return of Warriors|ONE FC: Return of Warriors]] at [[Putra Indoor Stadium]] in [[Kuala Lumpur]] on February 2. With the win, Kojima will get a shot at the [[ONE FC]] World Flyweight Title.<ref>{{cite web |last = |first = |title =Full Fight Card Announced for ONE FC: 'Return of Warriors' in Kuala Lumpur on February 2nd |work = |publisher =combat-asia.com|date =December 22, 2012 |url =http://combat-asia.com/index.php/full-fight-card-announced-for-one-fc-return-of-warriors-in-kuala-lumpur-on-february-2nd/|accessdate =January 8, 2013}}</ref>

Kojima was originally slated to fight former [[Ultimate Fighting Championship|UFC]] vet and [[Shooto]] Bantamweight Champion [[Yasuhiro Urushitani]] for the inaugural [[List of ONE FC champions|ONE FC Flyweight]] Championship, but Urushitani was forced out of the bout due to injury and replaced with Andrew Leone.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/07/andrew-leone-replaces-urushitani-meets-shinichi-kojima-in-one-fc-10-title-fight|title=Andrew Leone replaces Urushitani, meets Shinichi Kojima in ONE FC 10 title fight}}</ref> However, just days before the event, an injury to Leone scrapped the bout from the card all together, after leaving Kojima without an opponent for the event.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mmainsider.net/10016/andrew-leone-injury-forces-one-fc-main-event-change|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130914075108/http://mmainsider.net/10016/andrew-leone-injury-forces-one-fc-main-event-change|url-status=usurped|archive-date=September 14, 2013|title=Andrew Leone Injury Forces ONE FC Main Event Change|work=mmainsider.net|author=Dave Reid|date=2013-09-11|accessdate=September 11, 2013}}</ref>
