Early life and professional career

Katayama was born in Chikusei, Ibaraki Prefecture. He turned professional in 1995 and has played full-time on the *an Golf Tour since 1997. He topped the *an Golf Tour money list five times: 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2008. He has won 31 tournaments on the *an Golf Tour, ranking sixth on the career wins list and ranking second on the career money list with over 1.9 billion ¥.

Katayama has played in several major championships and World Golf Championships events, and his most notable achievement outside *an is his tied fourth-place finish at the 2001 PGA Championship. He played the 3rd round with the champion David Toms. He was called "Cowboy Shingo" due to his distinctive cowboy-style hat. Placing fourth with a 10-under par at the 2009 Masters, he tied Toshimitsu Izawa (2001) for the best showing of a *anese golfer at the tournament.

Katayama also featured in the top thirty of the Official World Golf Ranking, reaching a highest ranking of 23rd in December 2007.

Katayama rarely played on the U.S. based PGA Tour, playing the majority of his golf in *an. His best finish outside of *an, (excluding majors) came in 2006 at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship where he defeated Colin Montgomerie, 3 and 2, in the second round en route to finishing T9.
