In partnership with Spectrum Sports and the Mountain West, the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa athletics department has announced three upcoming Rainbow Warrior football games will be live streamed in Japan.
The October 18 game at Colorado State, November 8 game against San Diego State and November 29 game versus Wyoming will be livestreamed on Rakuten’s R Channel—a free streaming service in Japan—as well as on GAORA On Demand and GAORA ZERO on R Channel.
Four past UH Mānoa games from this season—Sam Houston, Portland State, Fresno State and Utah State—are also available on GAORA On Demand and GAORA ZERO on R Channel.
Placekicker Kansei Matsuzawa from Tokyo, Japan is having a record-breaking senior season. He is 19-for-19 on the year in field goal attempts and has already broken both UH Mānoa and Mountain West records for consecutive field goals to start a season.
Dating back to last season, Matsuzawa has converted 20 straight field goals, which is tied for the longest in school history. He is also on the verge of breaking the program’s all-time mark for most field goals in a single-season. His performance is fueling All-America and Lou Groza Award (college football’s annual award for the nation’s top placekicker) buzz.
Matsuzawa’s journey to UH Mānoa is one of the best stories in college football. He learned to kick from watching YouTube videos and learned to speak English from his junior college teammates at Hocking College in Ohio. At the end of last season, he received a scholarship and has since earned the nickname “Tokyo Toe.”
