About
Sponsored by Goldwin, Kawasaki is one of Japan's most consistent ultra performers on home soil. He won Mt. Fuji 100 outright in 2019 on the original 114km course, then podiumed across multiple editions of the rebranded UTMB World Series race — 2nd in 2023, 2nd in 2024, and 3rd in 2025 — demonstrating a consistency across format changes and field evolution that few Japanese athletes can match. A serious wrist injury at TransLantau in November 2023 required surgery to remove a plate in October 2024, but he returned to competition quickly and without apparent loss of form. He also placed 4th at the Asia Pacific Trail Running Championship in Korea in 2024. Off the trails, he is a father of a young child.
