Kawamura, interviewed directly by this magazine before returning home, spends weekdays training with the team and weekends going to matches after the World Cup.Is this the real “SLAM DUNK”?That’s what basketball fans were excited about at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. The Japanese national basketball team finished first in Asia and qualified for the Paris Olympics on its own for the first time in 48 years.   One month after achieving this feat, an SUV drove through the city of Yokohama at around 9 p.m. on a chilly night in early October. The driver of the SUV was Yuki Kawamura, 22, the youngest player on the team and a key figure in the team’s success at the Olympics. He is the team’s point guard and the team’s commanding presence. The car driven by Kawamura pulled up in front of a tower apartment building. When Kawamura’s car is illuminated by street lights, a beautiful, fair-skinned woman in a pink outfit is sitting chunkily in the passenger seat. When Kawamura pulled into the parking lot, the woman got out of the car and walked quickly into a nearby supermarket. Kawamura is currently in a relationship with a woman. She is Mikoto Nakamori, 21, who was originally a beautiful twin YouTube star. She is the same age as Kawamura and is currently participating as a trainee in an audition program called ‘PRODUCE101 JAPAN THE GIRLS,’ season 3 of the popular program that produced ‘JO1’ and ‘INI.’
