Djiman Waidi Koukou (born 14 November 1990 in Porto-Novo) is a Beninese professional footballer who plays for French club RC Lens as a midfielder.
In his country, Koukou played for Requins de l'Atlantique FC and Soleil FC. On 5 July 2009, he signed with Évian Thonon Gaillard F.C. in France, going on to play two seasons in the third division.
After a successful year with US Créteil-Lusitanos, Koukou joined Portuguese club S.C. Beira-Mar in late June 2011, on a free transfer. He was immediately loaned to Segunda Liga team C.F. Os Belenenses, appearing in slightly more than half of the games during his first and only campaign.
Koukou failed to break into the first team with the Aveiro side, and returned to France in the summer of 2012. He trained with amateurs UMS Montélimar for several months, and eventually signed in February 2013.
In January 2013, Koukou went on trial with Chamois Niortais F.C. from Ligue 2. After training for fifteen days, he was offered a contract until the end of the season by manager Pascal Gastien, and went on to compete with the side in three-and-a-half second level seasons whilst playing 125 matches across all competitions.
