After five seasons with the Eagles, having recorded a dominant season in 2014–15 with 61 points in just 39 games, Kuji opted to test himself in Europe through securing a try-out contract with top level German club, Eisbären Berlin on July 15, 2015.

Kuji enjoyed a successful pre-season in Germany and on September 9, 2015, it was announced that Kuji had secured a one-year contract to remain for the season with Eisbären Berlin. He had two assists and no goals in 37 DEL games over the 2015–16 season. Kuji scored his only goal for the Eisbären squad in one of his four appearances in the Champions Hockey League. He did not have his contract renewed after the conclusion of the season.
