Keita Inagaki (稲垣 啓太, Inagaki Keita; born 2 June 1990) is a Japanese professional rugby union player who plays as a prop for Japan Rugby League One club Saitama Wild Knights and the Japan national team.[1][2][3][4][5]
Inagaki started his professional career with the Panasonic Wild Knights where he lifted the Top League title in each of his first two seasons and was named in the Top League team of the year for 2014–15.[6] Such was his impact in his first two seasons as a professional that when injuries struck the Melbourne Rebels two Japanese players Shota Horie and Male Sa'u, Inagaki was signed up as a concessional signing on a one-year deal ahead of the 2015 Super Rugby season.[1][2]
