is the lead character in Koji Suzuki's novel ''Ring'', published in 1991. He is married to Shizuka Asakawa and they have a one-year-old daughter named Yoko. His best friend is Ryuji Takayama, a college professor and alleged rapist. After his wife's niece Tomoko dies and he comes across another boy who died on the same day on his motorbike, Asakawa tries to find out why which then links him to the cursed videotape. After watching it, he is left with just seven days to figure out how to break the curse. ==In Other Media== Two onscreen adaptions of the male character of Kazuyuki exist. In the initial 1995 television film, the onscreen character of Asakawa is largely similar to the character in the book bearing only minor differences such having no children but his Shizuka being three months pregnant instead. He is played by Katsunori Takahashi. In the 1998 television series Asakawa (played by Toshirō Yanagiba) is different here because: *Rather than being married he is widowed, Shizuka having died three years earlier. *Instead of a one-year-old daughter he has a son named Yoichi. However Yoichi is a toddler rather than the seven-year-old he is in the 1998 film. *Ryuji is not his best friend but instead an occultist and possessed son of Sadako. His role is instead filled by Asakawa's assistant Akiko Yoshino. *He is given ten days to live rather than seven. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kazuyuki Asakawa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
