The contest
18 years ago, in December 2000, Kazami and Isaku Hyōdō were competing in a dessert making contest. They were secretly collaborating together so that either of them could take the prize. Hyōdō, a sculptor by trade, would design while Kazami was in charge of the flavour. Kazami's secret was that that he doesn't have the ability to taste things - Sarushiro, his son, would taste the desserts for them to make sure they're good, so he was very valuable to him.

Before the contest's finale, Kazami created two batches of frozen sherbet for Hyōdō to sculpt. However, Hyōdō betrayed Kazami since he had what he needed to win and ended their collaboration. He threatened his son, Naitō and made him tie Sarushiro up so that he couldn't help his father. Desperate, Kazami quickly went into Tenkai's room to take a picture of the recipe if he couldn't win it but Hyōdō caught Kazami. He threatened to reveal his condition to the world and expose him as a thief, which would ruin his career, so Kazami panicked and killed Hyōdō to silence him.

Aftermath
Afterwards, he hid his body in Hyōdō's own artwork, But during the investigation, he was questioned by Gregory Edgeworth. von Karma had prevented Gregory to talk to Kazami other than that one conversation. He had originally planned to frame Delicy Scone for the crime by planting the murder weapon in her room since he hated her because she snacked on the other contestants' works and cheated her way into the semi-finals. But since Oyashiki hid the body during his questioning, he let the police arrest Tenkai. A year later, right before Tenkai's trial, he fled the country to Zheng Fa, abandoning his son. The case, known as the IS-7 Incident, was left unresolved.

In 2004, after three years of training in Zheng Fa, he returned and won the design contest, becoming a world-renowned pâtissier.

Present day

Eventually the case resurfaced, thanks to Oyashiki, who set up a trap for the real IS-7 culprit in the 12 Constellations Art Gallery. Kazami heard that Oyashiki will display Hyōdō's art and knew that she will include his body. Kazami was poisoned as a result to reclaim the body but he survived.

Later on, Edgeworth tried to make Kazami confess to his crime using Logic chess since he had no evidence to connect Kazami to the crime. Kazami confesses to his crime but he argued that since 18 years have passed, he cannot be arrested due to the statute of limitations. But thanks to the fact that he, the witness of 18 years ago, escaped the country, the case was put on hold for three more years and he could be finally arrested, proving Tenkai innocent, just like Oyashiki wanted.

Personality
He was prone to bouts of maniacal laughter. His sculpting greatly improved over the 18 years he was gone. He barely managed to form anything in the past since his design sense was horrible but in the present he could blow up the dough to a huge size, then carve it into a sculpture of himself by rapidly punching the statue with his bare fists. He is gruff, assertive, and extremely passionate about his work. He is determined to be the top of his profession.
