Biography

Kaneko, a left-handed player from Tokyo, began playing tennis at the age of eight.

Most of his ATP Tour main draw appearances were as a wildcard at his home events, the Japan Open and Tokyo Indoor. The only exception was the 1996 Indonesia Open, which he entered as a qualifier. [1] He made the second round of the Japan Open on three occasions.

His four Davis Cup ties for Japan included a five-set loss to Todd Woodbridge in 1996 and a decisive fifth rubber win over Uzbekistan in Tashkent in 1997.

He was a member of the silver medal-winning Japanese team at 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok. [2]
