Hi! I’m a Japanese student and study English very hard.
Recently, I often watch the news about Japanese sports player who are a good play and win prizes. For example, Keisuke Honda, a soccer player, Kei Nishikori, a tennis player, Sara Takanashi, a skier, Yuzuru Hanyu , a figure skater, and so on. Especially, when I knew a Japanese rugby team beat a South African one, I didn’t understand how awesome that was. After that, I examined the history of Japanese rugby team, and I could understand. A South African team was very strong team, so Japanese team didn’t win against them. I realized this game was the most impressive one in the history of rugby. It made me moved. Since then, I have been interested in various sports players. Now, many sports players are active all over the world. I’m glad they increase public recognition of a product name. But, I know only famous plyers, I don’t know minor sports player because I only watch the topic news and I don’t know sports players are active in foreign field. So, I want to learn about famous Japanese players in foreign country. Who is the most famous Japanese’s sports player in your country?
Please tell me!
