Playing Football: Kazuyori Mochizuki's Time as a Goalkeeper
Kazuyori Mochizuki was born in Shizuoka, Japan, on November 20, 1961. After finishing his studies at the University of Tsukuba, he joined a football club called Mazda in 1984. This club later became known as Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
During his time as a player, Mochizuki was a goalkeeper. He mostly served as a backup player, which means he didn't play in many official games. He retired from playing in 1988.
A few years later, in 1992, he made a brief return to playing. His old club, Sanfrecce Hiroshima, had many injured players. Mochizuki helped out during this difficult time. However, he still did not play in any matches and retired again at the end of the 1994 season.

In October 2000, the Japan national team won the Asian Cup with Mochizuki as part of the coaching staff.
Returning to Sanfrecce Hiroshima
In 2001, Mochizuki returned to Sanfrecce Hiroshima as their goalkeeper coach. In April 2006, he briefly took over as the main manager for the club after the previous manager, Takeshi Ono, left. Mochizuki managed the team for four matches. In June of that year, a new manager, Mihailo Petrović, was hired. Mochizuki then went back to his role as goalkeeper coach until 2011.
