Koki Ogawa
CF
Playmaking Forward
Aug 8, 1997 (28)
Right
6'1"
172 lb
24 minutes from bench
Ogawa registered one shot (zero on goal) in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Sweden.
Analysis: Ogawa would enter the field from the bench for the second time at the 2026 World Cup, with the forward playing 24 minutes. He would earn a shot and three passes completed, although his one shot was off target. He will likely remain a bench option for knockout play, although he does have some value after an assist off the bench in their opener.
Provides assist for Japan
Ogawa assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Netherlands.
Analysis: Ogawa had a big moment in Sunday's World Cup opener against the Netherlands, delivering a crucial set‑piece assist from a corner that found Daichi Kamada, securing Japan a point in the 2-2 draw. Coming on for the injured Takefusa Kubo, the striker made the most of his limited minutes, creating a chance and recording three touches in the box during his 15‑minute appearance. Depending on Kubo's injury status, Ogawa could be in line for his first World Cup start, making him a fantasy name to monitor after contributing an assist in his tournament debut.
