The 5-foot-8 basketball giant, the small quasi-fast Yuki Kawamura, signed for the NBA 24 hours after becoming famous against France
A young basketball player who doesn't admit defeat
Hard fighting on the basketball court
Born on May 2, 2001, Yuki Kawamura has had a soft spot for basketball since he was a child. He started basketball at the age of 6 and often represented the school in various tournaments when he was in elementary school. Despite not being too tall, with his excellent ball skills and excellent leadership skills, he led the school team to the national championship.
In middle school, Yuki's basketball skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he became a well-known local star, leading his alma mater to win the national championship four times, and also won the winter selection championship, becoming the best high school player in Japan.
In 2020, he entered the Japan Professional League at the age of 18, becoming the youngest scorer in history. In his busy career, he still juggled his studies and used his spare time to tirelessly hone his skills, and finally won the favor of many colleges and universities.
Major breakthroughs and counterattack miracles
In 2022, Yonghui signed for Yokohama, a Japan professional team, and became a professional player. With an outstanding performance of 19.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game, he won the honor of the best rookie and assist king in the regular season that year, and was selected to the best rookie team.
In 2023, Yuki was selected for the Japan national team, and in the match against Finland, he led Japan to a 98-88 victory, contributing 25 points and 9 assists.
In the match against France on July 30, 2024, the small player who is only 5'8 tall shines even more. With his excellent basketball IQ, excellent vision, and comprehensive statistics, he has won the attention of fans all over the world. Even if the talent is not superior, he can bring out his dynamic talent to the fullest. When the team fell behind, he desperately came to the rescue, and finally helped Japan win 94-90 against France, becoming the biggest contributor of the game.
After this fight, Yonghui was praised by domestic and foreign stars, who praised his game as a profound inspiration - how exactly should we cultivate such outstanding basketball talents? This spirit and fighting spirit are worth learning from teams from all over the world.
A promising new basketball superstar
After this game, Yonghui immediately attracted the attention of NBA teams. According to the official announcement of the Japan Yokohama Pirates, Yonghui has signed a training camp contract with the Fez-Grizzlies and is expected to switch to a two-way contract before the regular season to officially enter the NBA. This means that this 5-foot-8 little man is about to show his skills on the NBA's highest level stage. As a basketball player who is a little short of height, but has excellent ball skills and tenacious will, I believe that Yonghui will become a dazzling star in the NBA in the future!
From a country kid to an NBA star
Kawamura's basketball career was full of ups and downs, but in the end, he climbed to the top and became a notable new star. This "little man" player, who is only 5'8 feet tall, has made a name for himself in Japan basketball with his talent and tenacious fighting spirit, and has gradually grown from a rural elementary school student to a basketball rookie who has attracted national attention.
In middle school, with his excellent skills and strong leadership, Yuki led his alma mater to win the national championship four times, and also won the winter selection championship, becoming the best high school player in Japan. That was enough to make him a star in the local basketball scene, but Yonghui didn't stop there.
Yuki, who entered the Japan Professional League at the age of 18 in 2020, became the youngest scorer in the history of the league with his outstanding performance. Despite his busy career, he still jugged his studies and spared no effort to hone his skills in his spare time, which was finally favored by many colleges and universities.

Just as Yuki's fame was growing, he was selected for the Japan national team in 2023, and in the match against Finland, he led the team to a 98-88 victory, personally contributing 25 points and 9 assists, showing amazing leadership and ball control.
In the 2024 France competition, the small player who is only 5'8 tall shines even more. Although his talent was not superior, he used his excellent basketball IQ, vision and projection ability to carry the girder independently when the team fell behind, and finally helped Japan win 94-90 against France. This game completely made Yonghui famous, and also made him the new favorite of world basketball.
Now, Yonghui has signed a training camp contract with NBA team Fez-Grizzlies, and is expected to officially enter the NBA before the regular season. The 5-foot-8 player will soon be in the basketball mecca of United States, and it is believed that he will soon become a rising star in the NBA.
