List of Shooto champions
This is a list of Shooto world champions at each weight class. Shooto is a Japan-based mixed martial arts promoting and sanctioning organization founded first in 1985 as a particular fighting system, and then in 1989 as an MMA promotion.
Shooto used to promote different weight classes than the Association of Boxing Commissions, which are used by most MMA promotions. On January 1, 2015, weight limits were changed to the divisions established by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Then, on January 1, 2017, the names of the weight classes were also changed to the names established by NSAC.
