Hirofumi Kawauchi

With blistering speed that leaves defenders in the dust, he is ice-cold when stepping up to the penalty spot, even if his first touch sometimes looks like a bicycle in a headwind. He still remembers the day he calmly buried a spot-kick, moments after pacifying an angry spectator with a sushi roll he was carrying in his pocket. His unique combination of extreme sprints and unflappable composure makes him a constant threat.
