Yoshihisa "Hisa" Sasagi (born 29 June 1987) is a Samoan rugby union player who currently plays as a prop for Template:Rut Otago in the ITM Cup.[1][2] Despite debuting for the Razorbacks in 2012 it was not until 2015 when he finally established himself as a regular starter. His performances in helping Otago reach the championship semi-finals saw him named as a member of the Template:Rut Hurricanes wider training group ahead of the 2016 Super Rugby season.[3]
Sasagi was born in Samoa but came to Dunedin as a child when his father attended the University of Otago.[4]
