Honda remains the biggest star in Japanese football. The 31-year-old is the only Japanese player to have scored in multiple World Cups, while he hit seven goals in Russia 2018 qualifying and always seems to produce on the big stage. The former AC Milan man enters the tournament fresh from three goals in his last four appearances for Pachuca. He has reclaimed some form with Pachuca in Mexico after a disappointing three-and-a-half season spell with AC Milan.The defense is suspect. During the run-up to the World Cup, Japan coughed up six goals in three June matches against Ghana, Switzerland, and Paraguay. Thrice winless and twice Round of 16 combatants, the Samurai Blue are sound but need to find goals if they want to return to the knockout rounds.Maya Yoshida played all three games for Japan at Brazil 2014. The experienced Southampton defender is known for his attacking flair. Comfortable on the ball, Yoshida has been a reassuring presence in the Japan back-line for many years now. In addition to his defensive qualities, Yoshida has forged a reputation for scoring crucial goals, netting the only score against a resilient Korea to save Japan in a qualifying match for Brazil 2014. Since debuting in 2010, Yoshida has tallied 10 goals in 80 international appearances.
