In 1936, when Kamo was a Waseda University student, he was selected for the Japan national team for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.[2] At this competition, he debuted against Sweden on August 4. He assisted Taizo Kawamoto and Tokutaro Ukon with goals, and Japan completed a come-from-behind victory. The first victory in the Olympics for Japan and a historic victory over one of the powerhouses later became known as the "Miracle of Berlin" (ベルリンの奇跡) in Japan. In 2016, this team was selected for the Japan Football Hall of Fame. On August 7, he also played against Italy. He played two games for Japan in 1936.[3] His older brother Takeshi Kamo was also an Olympic footballer for Japan.[4]

On September 14, 1977, Kamo collapsed during training for an exhibition match at the National Stadium in Shinjuku, Tokyo. He died of a myocardial infarction at a hospital at the age of 61.
