Kosuke Enomoto

Kosuke Enomoto is the kind of scrum-half I like to root for. A rugby union player out of Fukuoka who made the trek to Waseda University — that alone tells you something. Waseda rugby is no joke; it's one of the most storied programs in Japan, and getting there from Kyushu means you were already someone worth watching long before you hit Tokyo. Born in 1988, he belongs to a generation of Japanese players who grew up before rugby was cool in Japan, which means he chose the sport for the love of it, not the spotlight. He went on to play in the Top League for Coca-Cola, Kintetsu and Mitsubishi Sagamihara before retiring in 2022, and there's a quiet credibility to a 170 cm scrum-half who spent a decade grinding through contact at that level.
