Showa-era Japanese kinbakushi, photographer and publishing / salon organizer. Nawapedia says Kayama studied rope work under Seishiro Ueda in 1954, became acquainted with Takashi Tsujimura in 1958 and deepened exchanges with Oniroku Dan in 1959, later assisting bondage for Nikkatsu films and opening the Roppongi SM salon SAMM around 1980. Kinbaku Books' Beautifully Bound archive identifies him as editor of Minomura Kou's 1953 photo album Beautifully Bound, one of the earliest artistic kinbaku photo books.
