MMA career

From 2004 to 2005 he went 1-2-2 but rebounded in 2006 with three consquetive wins over Ryuichi Miki, Mamoru Okochi and Takeshi Okada. His streak ended in September when he faced Masaaki Sugawara whom he lost to by majority decision. In early 2007 Shoujou started another winning streak with a second round knockout over Ayuma Shioda before defeating Masatoshi Abe and Junji Ikoma. He then fought Mamoru Yamaguchi to whom he dropped a unanimous decision. In his next fight, at Shooto Tradition 3, Shoujou got the biggest win of his career with a guillotine-choke submission over Yasuhiro Urushitani in the third round.

Title shot

At Shooto Tradition 6 Shoujou fought Shinichi Kojima for the Shooto bantamweight title. The first round saw Shoujou being successful on the feet landing multiple kicks and combinations, while Kojima was the aggressor in the second after taking Shoujou down and landing multiple punches. The third round ended quick after Shoujou went for an unsuccessful double-leg takedown prompting Kojima to take his back where he choked him out with a rear naked choke after 0:39.
