Kento Hashimoto (橋本 拳人, Hashimoto Kento; born August 16, 1993) is a Japanese football player who plays as a defensive midfielder for J1 League club FC Tokyo and the Japan national team.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

FC Tokyo

[edit | edit source]

Considered one of the best prospects in FC Tokyo's youth ranks, he first joined the first-team squad from the 2011 J.League Division 2 season.[1] He didn't manage to amass much playing time in the squad, so Hashimoto was loaned to Roasso Kumamoto for the 2013 and 2014 seasons.[2]

Rostov

[edit | edit source]

On 9 July 2020, Russian Premier League club FC Rostov announced that they had reached an agreement with FC Tokyo for Hashimoto's transfer, and he would move pending a medical. The Japanese footballer signed a 4-year contract with Rostov after arriving in Russia and completing the medical exam.[3] On 23 August 2020, he scored his first goal for Rostov to secure a 1–0 away victory over FC Ufa.[4] In their next game 3 days later he once again scored the only goal of the game to beat FC Ural Yekaterinburg 1–0.[5]

On 19 February 2021, Rostov removed Hashimoto from their official squad as registered with the league. That was expected to be temporary, as Russian clubs are only allowed to have 8 foreign players registered at the same time, and Hashimoto was injured at the time.[6] He was returned to the squad list on 24 February after the loan of David Toshevski freed up a foreign player spot.[7]

Loan to Vissel Kobe

[edit | edit source]

On 27 March 2022, Hashimoto returned to Japan and signed for Vissel Kobe firstly on a three-month transfer from Russia's FC Rostov after a FIFA ruling temporarily freezing the contracts of foreign players signed with Russian clubs and allowing them to go elsewhere.[8] On 1 July 2022, his contract was officially extended for an undisclosed period.[9]

Huesca

[edit | edit source]

On 18 July 2022, Hashimoto signed with Huesca in Spain.[10] On 3 September 2023, Hashimoto returned to Huesca on a permanent basis and signed a two-year contract.[11]

Eibar

[edit | edit source]

On 29 August 2024, Hashimoto signed a one-year deal with Eibar also in the Spanish Segunda División.[12]

Return to FC Tokyo

[edit | edit source]

On 9 January 2025, Eibar announce official transfer of Hashimoto to J1 club FC Tokyo for 2025 season.[13]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Hashimoto made his debut for the Japan national football team on 26 March 2019 in a friendly against Bolivia, as a starter.[14]
