Looking at the Japan national soccer team’s World Cup members, there were actually eight players from Kanagawa Prefecture. Yokosuka City, Yokohama City, Kawasaki City, Hayama Town, and Sagamihara City have produced many Japanese national team players, including Junya Ito, Wataru Endo, Akira Itakura, Koki Ogawa, Yuito Suzuki, Aoi Tanaka, Takefusa Kubo, and Yuki Hayakawa. Why are so many Japanese national soccer players born from Kanagawa? Kanagawa may be a soccer kingdom after all. Thanks to Kawasaki Frontale, Yokohama F. Marinos, Yokohama FC, Shonan Bellmare, and SC Sagamihara.
