The Japanese raid machine, Shimokawa was a part of the Japanese team that won the Asian Games bronze medal in 2010 at Guangzhou and since then he has come a long way to be the face of the Japanese Kabaddi scene.

In Pro Kabaddi, although he hasn't played much, has been a part of the training set up with U Mumba and the Jaipur Pink Panthers which has risen his game to newer levels in terms of skillset. Well, in conclusion, the fact that excites him the most is that Kabaddi pits one individual player against a group of seven, and this should be a concerning threat for the others.
