About the player
Seiji Kimura arrived at KVC Westerlo in August 2025 on a four-year contract. Between 2021 and 2024, while registered with FC Tokyo, the centre-back was sent out in succession to Kyoto Sanga, SC Sagamihara, Montedio Yamagata and Sagan Tosu.
At club level, first-team opportunities at FC Tokyo itself remained scarce despite five years on the books. Since joining Westerlo, he has made 21 appearances and scored one goal, wearing the number 5 shirt at centre-back.
Kimura's clearest achievement so far has come with Japan's youth sides. He worked his way up through the age-group system before becoming a regular for the Japan under-23s, for whom he has scored twice in 13 caps. That run included the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, which Japan won, securing their place at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Kimura was part of the squad. He has not yet featured for the senior national team.
