Kyogo Furuhashi (古橋 亨梧, Furuhashi Kyōgo, born 20 January 1995), often known mononymously as Kyogo, is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a forward or a winger for Scottish Premiership club Celtic and the Japan national team.

Club career

FC Gifu

Kyogo Furuhashi joined J2 League club FC Gifu in 2017.

Vissel Kobe

On 1 August 2018, it was confirmed that Furuhashi would join the J1 League club Vissel Kobe for the rest of the 2018 season

In the club's Emperor's Cup semi-final match against Shimizu S-Pulse on 21 December 2019, Furuhashi scored Vissel's third goal to seal a 3–1 victory and a spot in their first ever major cup final.[2] Vissel would go on to defeat Kashima Antlers in the final on 1 January 2020.[3]

Furuhashi scored Vissel Kobe's second goal in their 2020 Japanese Super Cup victory over Yokohama F. Marinos on 8 February 2020.[4] Four days later in Vissel Kobe's first ever match in a continental competition against Malaysia Super League champions JDT, Furuhashi scored again in a 5–1 victory.[5] Furuhashi netted the lone goal in the second group stage match against Suwon Samsung Bluewings on 19 February.[6]

Celtic

On 16 July 2021, Furuhashi joined Scottish Premiership side Celtic for £4.5 million, signing a four-year deal. [7] He scored his first goal for the club on his debut against Jablonec in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round on 5 August 2021.[8] Three days later, Furuhashi scored his first Scottish Premiership goals, netting a 67-minute hat-trick in a 6–0 win against Dundee.[9][10] He followed up his excellent run of form by scoring against Hearts,[11] and again in the UEFA Europa League against AZ Alkmaar.[12]

In the lead up to a game against Rangers on 29 August 2021, a video featuring Rangers supporters racially abusing Kyogo over his ethnicity was posted on social media. This led to an outpouring of support for the striker.[13] He picked up an injury while on international duty with Japan in September, but returned after five games,[14] scoring on 3 October in a 2–1 victory against Aberdeen[15] and netting the only goal of the game in a home league win against Hearts on 2 December.[16] On 19 December 2021, Furuhashi scored twice against Hibernian in the final of the Scottish League Cup. The game ended 2–1, winning Furuhashi his first trophy with Celtic.[17] On 28 August 2022, he scored a hat-trick in a 9–0 away win against Dundee United.[18]

International career

Furuhashi earned his first Japan cap in against Venezuela on 19 November 2019 in the 2019 edition of the Kirin Cup. The result was a 1–4 home loss at the Panasonic Stadium Suita.[19]
