Very cool to see him on this site. I only wish I had the photo equipment I have now to have gotten a better shot when he was at WIU. I hope he does well, very nice to see he has some support.

i’m a Japanese and friend from Kousuke’s boyhood.
I was totally surprised when I heard he became a MLS player.I felt delight because I knew how he had practiced and finally he could make it!
I’m incredibly proud of him and his efforts

Good piece. Kosuke’s observations parallel mine. I was rather shocked when I went back to the states 30 years ago (after spending about ten in Japan at that time) to see people at the park playing tennis. They didn’t know crap about basics and I realized that if that had been a Japanese park, the tennis sensei would be out there grilling his charges, no matter what age they were, in basics.
I hope to see more of Kosuke in the game, he sounds like a real winner.

A very nice piece. I have always wanted to get a comparison from an actual player of the styles of play between the two leagues. I follow J-League as well as MLS and I hope to see Americans in J-League and more Japanese players in MLS.

great story, hope he makes it , also a lot of similarities between me and him, he came as an imigrant i did too , the soccer outside is much more technical.
