}}{{nihongo|Akihito Yamada|山田章仁|Yamada Akihito|extra=born 26 July 1985 in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture}} is a Japanese rugby union player who plays as a winger.[1][2] He also plays for Top League side the Panasonic Wild Knights in his home country.[3][4]

Career

Yamada has been a prolific try-scorer for the Wild Knights in Japan's Top 14 competition since making his debut during the 2010-11 season. He enjoyed a stand-out year in 2012-13 scoring 20 tries in 14 games to be the league's top scorer.[4]

Ahead of the admission of a Japanese franchise into Super Rugby, Australian sides were permitted to contract one Japanese player per season to aid their development. And so it was that the Perth-based Western Force signed Yamada to a one-year contract ahead of the 2015 Super Rugby season.[1]

International career

Yamada made his debut for Japan on 15 November 2013 in a 40-13 victory over {{nrut|Russia}} in Colwyn Bay, Wales.[5] To date he has scored 8 tries in 10 international matches.[3]
