Bio
At the age of 18, Hitoshi Ogawa fell during a motocross race and damaged his cervical spinal cord. While in the hospital, he got to know about wheelchair rugby and was selected for a Japanese team training camp at the age of 23. He is blessed with a good physique, and his power and speed are his strong points, as well as his passing skills. He was hospitalised at the same time as Shunya Nakamachi, who is also a Japanese team member of the same age, and it was Ogawa who invited him to play. They work together as the next generation of young players to take the Japanese team to the next level.
