Okazaki won the Shooto 132-Pound World Championship at Shooto Tradition 2011 on April 29, 2011 at Tokyo Dome City Hall when he defeated Shuichiro Katsumura by TKO (punches).^[3]

On May 18, 2012 Okazaki made the first defence of his Shooto 132-Pound World Championship in a rematch with Ogikubo but was submitted in the third round.^[4]
