Amon Odaki (Japanese: 小田喜 阿門, Hepburn: Odaki Amon; born 17 December 2007)[1] is a Japanese motorcycle racer who competes in the ST600 class of the All Japan Road Race Championship for SDG Harc-Pro, aboard a Honda CBR600RR.

Odaki competed in the 2024 FIM JuniorGP World Championship for the Asia Talent Team, after graduating from the Asia Talent Cup—having participated in the series in 2022 and 2023—where he finished as championship runner-up in his second year. He was part of Shinya Nakano's rider development program between 2020 and 2024.

Career

Early career

Born in the Itabashi ward of Tokyo, Japan,[1] Odaki began riding pocketbikes at the age of eight.[2] During his early years, he competed in pocketbike championships in Japan, and entered the Daijiro Cup in 2017.[3] In 2018, Odaki clinched several podiums in the Daijiro Cup.[4][5]

All Japan Road Race Championship (2020–)

J-GP3 (2020–2023)

In 2020, after participating in Kanto Road Mini Championship races on an NSF100, where he clinched wins and podiums,[6] Odaki entered the Tsukuba Road Race Championship GP3 class, aboard a Honda NSF250R. During qualifying practice, he set the third best lap-time, but crashed out in the race.[7] In October, Odaki made his All Japan Road Race Championship debut in the Motegi round of the J-GP3 class, at only 12 years old, becoming the youngest ever rider to participate in an All Japan race. He qualified 15th and finished his debut race in 13th place.[8][9]

In 2021, Odaki competed in the All Japan as a full-time rider, in the J-GP3 class, for Shinya Nakano's 56Racing team which he had been part of since 2020.[10] He scored two top ten finishes and had his best result in the opening round at Motegi, after finishing in eighth place. He did not register any championship points due to competing under a Special Participation license. Following his participation in the Asia Talent Cup in 2022, Odaki competed as a wildcard in the Tsukuba round of the J-GP3 class, where he finished in eighth spot.[11] In 2023, Odaki competed in the first three races of the J-GP3 season,[12] balancing his domestic and international participations, and clinched ninth and eighth place finishes at Motegi and Tsukuba, respectively.[13]

ST600 (2025–)

Following his stint in Asia and Europe, Odaki returned to the All Japan Road Race Championship in 2025, where he competed in the ST600 class, for SDG Harc-Pro. He scored a sixth place in his debut race at Sugo, and fought for the podium spots during the Motegi race before crashing out after a collision with Soichiro Minamimoto.[14] He finished tenth overall in his rookie season aboard the CBR600RR. Odaki remained in the category with the same team for 2026,[15] where he clinched his maiden victory in the opening race at Sugo,[16][17] followed by a retirement after a crash in Race 2.[18]

Asia Talent Cup (2022–2023)

Following his performance in Japan, Odaki was selected to participate in the Asia Talent Cup for the 2022 season, at the age of 14.[19][20] In his debut in the Cup at Lusail, he set pole position and after a third place in Race 1, Odaki clinched his maiden win in the second weekend race.[21] He set pole position again in the second round at Mandalika, where he scored a fourth place in Race 2.[22] Following mixed results across the rest of the season, he finished seventh overall in the standings.

In 2023, Odaki faced his second season in the Cup.[12] He clinched his first podium of the season in the second round at Motegi, having started from pole position.[23] He would finish on the podium in the next four races before clinching his first season win at Sepang.[24] After a third place in the closing race at Lusail,[25] Odaki was ranked second in the standings, behind champion Veda Pratama and ahead of compatriot Ryota Ogiwara.

JuniorGP World Championship (2024)

After his Asia Talent Cup stint, Odaki was chosen to compete in the FIM JuniorGP World Championship for the 2024 season, racing with the Asia Talent Team as part of the Honda ladder.[26] He picked up a few points in the first rounds and closed his season in Europe with a best-place finish of 11th at Estoril.[27][28] Odaki returned to Japan following his 2024 season.

Asia Road Racing Championship (2025)

In July 2025, Odaki participated in the Asia Road Racing Championship as a wildcard, in the Supersport 600 class, with his All Japan team SDG Harc Pro.[29] He finished ninth and eighth in races 1 and 2, respectively.
