  yoshikatsu kawaguchi - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi (川口 能活, born on August 15,1975, Fuji, Shizuoka), sometimes referred as Yoshi Kawaguchi, is a Japanese footballer.
Following impressive performances for both club and country, he moved to English club Portsmouth F.C. However, he struggled to adapt to life in the English football league and soon moved on to Nordsjlland of the Danish league.
Prior to the 2005 Japanese football season, Kawaguchi returned to his home country when he signed with perennial title-contenders Jbilo Iwata.

 Soccerphile :: Archives - Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi for Portsmouth
Kawaguchi, 26, who has signed a three-year deal at the club worth £340,000 a year to the player, was greeted with warm applause as he arrived to answer questions at a packed press conference, with over 200 Japanese journalists in attendance, at Portsmouth's Fratton Park ground.
Throughout the press conference Kawaguchi showed his determination to practice his English often refusing the help of a translator and Mandaric pledged to support Kawaguchi's studies by hiring a professional language tutor.
Kawaguchi said: "Pompey was founded in 1883 and were champions in the FA Cup in 1939."

 Observer | Yoshi milks the acclaim
Portsmouth's Japanese goalkeeper Yoshi Katsu Kawaguchi beamed with understandable delight as he received a standing ovation on a lap of honour from his new team's first capacity crowd of the season, leaving opponents Manchester City wondering how they had failed to beat him more than once.
Japanese captain Kawaguchi emerged later from the dressing room to re-live his heroics with the 30 Japanese journalists who have trailed his every move since his £1.8 million arrival on England's south coast.
Not that Kawaguchi was solely responsible for Portsmouth's stirring revival from a goal down after they had looked decidedly second best in the first half.

Yoshi 'Kannotcatchy' Kawaguchi joined Pompey for a club record fee, at the time, of 1.8m.
Harry (who was director of football at the time) went to watch him and must of either really wanted the managers job badly or not been able to make Milan hear anything other than 'Kerching' as we promptly signed him.
Kawaguchi arrived in a frenzy of media activity (two Japanese tourists and a reporter) and Graham Rix promptly put him in the reserves to acclimatise him to the English game.

Yoshi Kawaguchi watched Portsmouth step up their keeper search but insisted: "I'm going nowhere."
Pompey want to sell Kawaguchi to try to recoup at least part of the £1.8m they spent on the 27-year-old.
But Kawaguchi has turned down a move back to Japan with J-League side Cerezo Osaka - and even refused to go there on loan for the summer.

 GafferSports.com - Ronaldo equals record in Brazilian masterclass
Brazil displayed much more fizz than in their previous two games, while Japan were indebted to keeper Yoshi Kawaguchi for the score being level at half time.
Brazil appeared riled and Ronaldo nipped in ahead of Kawaguchi, only to be forced wide and the move eventually resulted in Ronaldinho tamely dragging his effort wide of goal.
Kawaguchi showed better handling to grasp a Ronaldo header before Brazil set about putting Japan to the sword with an excellent third goal on 59 minutes.

And Pompey had to defend desperately - at times hanging on by their fingertips - as Wednesday pounded debutant Yoshi Kawaguchi's goal during a furious second half onslaught.
The home side will probably feel aggrieved not to have taken at least a point from the game, but the foundations for this victory were laid in an assured first half performance from the visitors.
Nevertheless, his arrival seems to have captured the imagination of the Pompey faithful (Yoshi, Yoshi, they chanted at the conclusion).

And, it has to be said, a 1-4 thrashing to a side lying in fifteenth place of the bottom division of the Nationwide League is as bad as it gets.
For Pompey were undone by two mistakes from Japanese keeper Yoshi Kawaguchi to give Orient the lead and, chasing the game, left gaps at the back to concede two more in the last 13 minutes.

 Sports Australia - Football Match Report: Supersub slams home two for historic Socceroo victory [Jun 13, 2006]
Aloisi proved the catalyst for our remarkable comeback, playing aggressively from the get go, and stepping up at a free kick only to have his low drive parried away, but that drive led to the build up that saw Cahill start our resurgence, and in the last 10 minutes, the game truly came alive.
After 83 minutes of wondering if we were going to ‘get screwed’ by poor officiating, Cahill pounced on a mistake from Japanese keeper Kawaguchi; who had been flawless up to that point to fire into the net and equalise for Australia.
Shortly after Aloisi who came on at the death of the game put the icing on the cake, strolling leisurely past two hapless and tiring Japanese defenders and firing past the keeper into the bottom left corner of the net to seal the game at 3-1.

However, Japan ‘keeper Yoshi Kawaguchi dived low to palm Darijo Srna’s spot-kick around the post.
And it was the Werder Bremen striker again who forced an excellent save from Kawaguchi in the 40th minute, as Croatia fought hard for what would have been a well-deserved opener.
Ultimately the goal never came, and had it not been for poor work in the final third, Japan could have snatched a winner against the run of play from one of their few attacking moves.

 Football | Ronaldo fires double to equal Müller record
A Brazil minus players such as Roberto Carlos, Emerson and Adriano in what, for all the manager's protestations, looked to be a changed 4-2-3-1 set-up, certainly produced their most inventive and intricate display of this campaign as they recovered from the shock of falling behind to overwhelm Japan.
Ronaldinho was frequently involved and some of the interplay featuring him, Robinho, Kaka and Ronaldo was excellent, only Yoshi Kawaguchi's saves helping to prevent a bigger victory.
But for five saves by Kawaguchi in the opening 22 minutes, a dominant Brazil could have been out of sight before they fell behind.

Mark Viduka came closest to opening the scoring as he broke into the Japanese area before firing his shot, and the second effort from the rebound, straight at Japan ‘keeper Yoshi Kawaguchi after six minutes.
It took Japan 22 minutes to carve their first clear-cut opening when a fine run by Alessandro Santos ended with a pass to Hamburg SV striker Naohiro Takahara, who sold Scott Chipperfield a cheeky dummy before dragging his shot just shy of the post.
Viduka again was integral in the Socceroos’ attacking play in the 25th minute, as his back heel put Parma midfielder Marco Bresciano through on goal, but his low shot was weak and failed to trouble Kawaguchi.

The name change was one way of becoming more recognisable - and the signing of the Japanese international goalkeeper Yoshi Kawaguchi has been another step in creating a buzz around the inexperienced club.
There were initial fears that Kawaguchi was only signed because of his ability to sell shirts and other merchandise in the Far East, but Andersen says that there is no risk of him playing the Japan No1 unless he is good enough.
"Kawaguchi had been playing very well in the second team and our first keeper had made some mistakes so Kawaguchi deserved a chance.

Australia began the game brightly, and Viduka was twice thwarted by good blocks from Yoshi Kawaguchi in the seventh minute, Marco Bresciano breaking into space and proving a real menace.
He then set up a free kick just outside the box, with which Viduka just failed to beat the unflappable Kawaguchi and, in the resultant scramble, Cahill was booked by the referee, who actually had his back to the play.
Kennedy rose well again, but while his strength in the air was apparent, his strength with the foot wasn't and he failed to test the Japanese keeper with a shot.

Brazil dominated Japan in the opening stages and keeper Yoshi Kawaguchi did superbly to deny Ronaldo, Robinho and Juninho with stop after top-class stop.
The provider of that chance was to ruin the half for Japan right at the death though, answering some of his critics in the process.
First hero-turned-villain Kawaguchi let a speculative shot from Juninho creep through his arms, then left-back Gilberto showed that this squad has strength in depth too with his delightful drive across goal.
