*Kōki Kameda (亀田興毅, November 17, 1986 - ): The eldest son and the former WBA light flyweight champion.
*Daiki Kameda (亀田大毅, January 6, 1989 - ): The second eldest son. Daiki lost to Daisuke Naito, then the WBC flyweight champion, in Naito's first title defense on October 11, 2007. His boxing licence has been suspended by the Japan Boxing Commission for one year because of the misconducts that he committed during the match.

*Tomoki Kameda (亀田和毅, July 12, 1991 - ): The youngest son. He had been training for the Beijing Olympics. However, he canceled this plan because he will be too young to qualify for the Olympic qualifier, and decided to pursue pro career as soon as he will be eligible for pro license.

The Kameda brothers are perhaps some of Japan's most famous young boxers ever. Their father, Shiro Kameda (亀田史郎), trained them in their Osaka home since they were very young. All three of them soon became very popular as they started winning virtually every amateur boxing tournament. However, as a result of the incident over Daiki's misconduct during WBC flyweight championship match on October 11, 2007, Shiro stopped training Kōki and Daiki since.
