Hisashi Tsuchida (土田 尚史, Tsuchida Hisashi, born February 1, 1967) is a former Japanese football player.

Club career

Tsuchida was born in Okayama on February 1, 1967. After graduating from Osaka University of Economics, he joined Japan Soccer League club Mitsubishi Motors (later Urawa Reds) in 1989. He played many matches as goalkeeper from 1991. In 1992, the Japan Soccer League folded and a new league was founded J1 League. He battled with Yuki Takita for the position for a long time. He played as the regular goalkeeper in 1994 and 1995. However he lost his regular position due to injury in 1996, and his opportunity to play decreased from 1997. He could not play at all in the matches from 1999. He retired with rival Takita at the end of the 2000 season.

National team career

In 1988, when Tsuchida was an Osaka University of Economics student, he was selected by the Japan national "B team" for the 1988 Asian Cup. At this competition, he played one game. However, the Japan Football Association doesn't count it as a Japan national team match due to it being a "B team" not "the first team".
