Career

Yamamuro won the bronze medal in men's all-around at the 2011 World Championships.
Yamamuro competed for the national team at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Men's artistic team all-around. In the team final, he injured his ankle on the vault event, and had to be helped off. He had qualified for the individual all-around final, but due to the injury was unable to compete. This gave a chance for his teammate Kazuhito Tanaka to compete - he had ranked behind Yamamuro and Kōhei Uchimura and had not qualified due to the 2-per-country rule.
Yamamuro also participated in the 2012 American Cup.
At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Yamamuro had won an Olympic gold medal as part of the Japanese men's artistic gymnastics national squad on the all-around team event. In that event final, Yamamuro contributed to two apparatuses on pommel horse and still rings with scores of 13.900 and 14.866 respectively.
