**Kento Hashimoto** (橋本 拳人, *Hashimoto Kento*; born August 16, 1993) is a Japanese [football](/source/Association_football) player who plays as a [defensive midfielder](/source/Midfielder_(association_football)#Defensive_midfielder) for [J1 League](/source/J1_League) club [FC Tokyo](/source/FC_Tokyo) and the [Japan national team](/source/Japan_national_football_team).

## Club career

### FC Tokyo

Considered one of the best prospects in [FC Tokyo](/source/FC_Tokyo)'s youth ranks, he first joined the first-team squad from the [2011 J.League Division 2 season](/source/2011_J.League_Division_2).[1] He didn't manage to amass much playing time in the squad, so Hashimoto was loaned to [Roasso Kumamoto](/source/Roasso_Kumamoto) for the 2013 and 2014 seasons.[2]

### Rostov

On 9 July 2020, [Russian Premier League](/source/Russian_Premier_League) club [FC Rostov](/source/FC_Rostov) announced that they had reached an agreement with [FC Tokyo](/source/FC_Tokyo) for Hashimoto's transfer, and he would move pending a medical. The Japanese footballer signed a 4-year contract with Rostov after arriving in Russia and completing the medical exam.[3] On 23 August 2020, he scored his first goal for Rostov to secure a 1–0 away victory over [FC Ufa](/source/FC_Ufa).[4] In their next game 3 days later he once again scored the only goal of the game to beat [FC Ural Yekaterinburg](/source/FC_Ural_Yekaterinburg) 1–0.[5]

On 19 February 2021, Rostov removed Hashimoto from their official squad as registered with the league. That was expected to be temporary, as Russian clubs are only allowed to have 8 foreign players registered at the same time, and Hashimoto was injured at the time.[6] He was returned to the squad list on 24 February after the loan of [David Toshevski](/source/David_Toshevski) freed up a foreign player spot.[7]

#### Loan to Vissel Kobe

On 27 March 2022, Hashimoto returned to Japan and signed for [Vissel Kobe](/source/Vissel_Kobe) firstly on a three-month transfer from Russia's FC Rostov after a FIFA ruling temporarily freezing the contracts of foreign players signed with Russian clubs and allowing them to go elsewhere.[8] On 1 July 2022, his contract was officially extended for an undisclosed period.[9]

### Huesca

On 18 July 2022, Hashimoto signed with [Huesca](/source/SD_Huesca) in Spain.[10] On 3 September 2023, Hashimoto returned to Huesca on a permanent basis and signed a two-year contract.[11]

### Eibar

On 29 August 2024, Hashimoto signed a one-year deal with [Eibar](/source/SD_Eibar) also in the Spanish [Segunda División](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n).[12]

### Return to FC Tokyo

On 9 January 2025, Eibar announce official transfer of Hashimoto to J1 club [FC Tokyo](/source/FC_Tokyo) for 2025 season.[13]

## International career

Hashimoto made his debut for the [Japan national football team](/source/Japan_national_football_team) on 26 March 2019 in a friendly against Bolivia, as a starter.[14]
