Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on March 03, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Shuichi Gonda! You're the goalkeeper who makes strikers reconsider their career choices. Ever since your debut with Japan's national team in 2010, you've been diving, leaping, and blocking shots like a ninja guarding his sushi platter. Your incredible saves at the 2022 World Cup reminded us all that gravity is optional when you're between the posts.

Here's wishing you another year filled with spectacular saves and fewer awkward goal celebrations from opponents. May your reflexes stay sharp, your gloves sticky, and may you continue to frustrate forwards everywhere—because nothing ages better than a goalkeeper's legendary moments!
