Club career

Born in La Garenne-Colombes, Paris to a French father and a Japanese mother, Yamaguchi moved to Tokyo at six months old,[1] and returned to France at the age of 16, joining FC Lorient's youth setup.[2] On 16 June 2017, after finishing his formation, he moved to Spanish Segunda División B side Extremadura UD, being initially assigned to the reserves.[3]

Yamaguchi made his senior debut on 3 September 2017, starting in a 0–1 Tercera División home loss against UD Montijo. He became a regular starter for the B-side during the following seasons, and ahead of the 2019–20 campaign, he was definitely promoted to the first team as a backup to Casto.

Yamaguchi made his professional debut on 3 November 2019, starting in a 1–3 home loss against Girona FC for the Segunda División championship.[4]

International career

Yamaguchi represented Japan at under-19, under-20 and under-23 levels.
