KUSA - Rapids defender Kosuke Kimura is thinking about the playoffs this week. However for months, thoughts of his native country have been woven into his sport.
When an earthquake and tsunami hit his home country of Japan earlier this year, Kosuke knew he had to help. The 27-year-old added a few "zeros" to his age (and jersey number) and printed 27,000 limited edition T-shirts with 100 percent of the net proceeds going towards the Japanese Red Cross Society.
T-shirts are $8 and available by visiting here
