About the player
Yasuto Wakizaka came through Kawasaki Frontale's own academy before leaving for university football, then returned to the club. He joined the Frontale U-18 side in 2011 and spent three years there, moved on to Hannan University, and in his final year was registered as a special designated player for Kawasaki Frontale once he graduated in 2018. He made his senior debut that year not in the league but in the AFC Champions League, only breaking into J1 League action the following season.
Since then he has become a fixture in Kawasaki's midfield. He has been part of Frontale sides that won the J1 League title, the Emperor's Cup, the J.League Cup and the Japanese Super Cup, and his individual form has been recognised with three successive J.League Best XI selections.
International recognition came later than his club breakthrough. Wakizaka made his debut for the Japan national team in a friendly against South Korea, which Japan won 3–0, and has since added further caps at senior level.
