Kamata, whose full name is Gōzō Kamata, is a character from the soccer anime Hungry Heart - Wild Striker. He is a prominent member of the Jyoyō Orange High School soccer team, where he serves as the vice-captain and is known for being a powerful and reliable defender. His nickname, given to him by teammate Kyōsuke Kanō, is Sergeant Chin.

In his junior high school years, Kamata originally played as a forward. However, by the time he enters high school, he has transitioned to defense, becoming the team's defensive leader.

Throughout the series, Kamata is part of the core lineup that helps Jyoyō achieve victory after victory in the regional tournament.

Kamata's development is linked to his commitment to the team and his own professional ambitions. After his high school career, he continues to pursue soccer at a higher level. He is shown to be currently playing for a regional team, with the specific goal of earning a spot to play in the J-League, Japan's premier professional soccer league. His notable ability lies in his powerful and sturdy defending, which makes him a formidable obstacle for opposing strikers and a key component of Jyoyō's back line.
