Tatsuya Suzuki

Born on February 29, 1988 — a leap day baby, which means he's technically had fewer official birthdays than most of us have had haircuts. There's something quietly poetic about that for a footballer from Kawasaki. He came up through the Kawasaki Frontale academy, played for Japan's under-16 side at the 2004 AFC U-17 Championship, and later moved into coaching. Some just put in the work on the pitch, season after season, without much fanfare. That quiet professionalism has its own kind of cool.
