SAKAI Hiroki

Birthday: April 12, 1990 (age 34)

Birthplace / Nationality: Chiba / Japan

height, weight: 185cm / 78kg

He is the captain of Urawa Reds and a fullback who represents the J League.
He had a series of seasons plagued by injuries, but after undergoing surgery in November of last year, he felt refreshed. He made an amazing recovery and even played in the FIFA Club World Cup in December.
Boasting overwhelming power and propulsion, and above all, his mental strength, he is truly worthy of being called the ``Sakai of the World''.
