Japan's captain Wataru Endo began at Shonan Bellmare and won silverware with Urawa Red Diamonds before heading to Europe via Sint-Truiden and VfB Stuttgart, where his relentless tackling and ball-winning made him a Bundesliga standout. In 2023 he became only the second Japanese man to play for Liverpool, signing for around £16m, and Jurgen Klopp dubbed him a 'machine'. The defensive midfielder leads Japan as their on-field general and heartbeat.
