Asahi Uenaka

There's something almost poetic about a soccer player named Asahi — it literally means "morning sun," and honestly, that name does a lot of heavy lifting when you don't yet know a guy's game. Born in Fukuoka in 2001, he's the kind of age where you think, wait, he was born the year I was doing what exactly? They grind, they fixate, they will run through a wall if the ball is on the other side of it. A JFA Academy Fukushima graduate who started out at V-Varen Nagasaki and now leads the line for Gamba Osaka, he's right at the edge of becoming someone people will argue about. A kid out of Fukuoka with a name like sunrise? I'm rooting for him to back it up.
