The JKA Foundation (財団法人JKA Zaidanhōjin JKA) is the regulating body for pari-mutuel keirin and Auto Race competitions in Japan. These sports - two of Japan's four authorized "Public Sports" (公営競技 kōei kyōgi) where gambling is permitted - were originally regulated by two separate organizations. These sports and organizations were brought under the authority of the JKA on April 1, 2008. The current chairman of the JKA is Katsumi Ishiguro.
