Former Japan national soccer team member and Jubilo Iwata goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima updated his Instagram on the 22nd, posting a picture of his family celebrating his 42nd birthday.

Along with a photo of his family of five, he wrote, "I turned 42. This year was a very happy birthday, as I was able to spend it with my family. I am growing day by day, and I am grateful." The legend, who has been selected for the Japanese national team for four consecutive World Cups, including the Qatar tournament, showed that he is still going strong by saying, "42 years old, no realization, lol."

In his private life, he married Hiroko, who is a half Colombian, in September 2014. Their first child, a son, was born in December 2015, their second child, a daughter, in May 2020, and their third child, a daughter, in November 2021.

Hiroko has previously appeared on television and has been talked about as a beautiful woman. Her followers have commented, "She's so cool," "I look forward to seeing her continue to do great things," "What a wonderful family," and "Your wife is so beautiful."
