He also plays as number 8 and as flanker. After attending Waseda University, he was converted to wing by Kenji Kimoto, then switched to fullback, while active as a player for Waseda. When he kicked a goal kick, the stand shouts “1, 2, 3, 4, 5!”, keeping with the pace of going backwards one and two steps slowly, which was the air that envelopes the whole stadium. Originally, it was the correct manner to keep the quiet the place during the penalty kick, but it was different for Imazumi. It was originally during a fiery competition, when the opponent fans attempted to disrupt his concentration, but it became a chant dedicated to Imazumi. After that, similar chants almost not seen. In the 4th grade, kicking a drop lessened, but during the penalty kick near the halfway line during the University Championship semi-finals against Doshisha University, when Imazumi stood at the kicking pont, the clapping took off from the whole audience, followed by the “1, 2, 3, 4, 5!” chant, shaking the nation.
