Kae Kurahashi was the first female player to represent Japan in wheelchair rugby and was a key member of the team that won WWR World Championship gold for the first time in the nation’s history in Sydney, Australia, in 2018.
The addition of Kurahashi has been instrumental in Japan’s rise in wheelchair rugby.
