In 2023, he received the "Okawa-Fukutani Award" at the Niigata International Animation Film Festival for his directed work Inu-Oh (犬王), where he was the chief animation director[6].
Kameda joined the production of Detective Conan in 2022, for which he first worked on the production of the openings and endings of the spin-off stories of the series: Zero's Tea Time and The Culprit Hanzawa.
