Kengo Ishii (石井 謙伍, Ishii Kengo; born 2 April 1986) is a Japanese professional athlete best known as an association football player. Public summaries identify him by name and birthdate; beyond that, many widely circulated profiles describe him simply as a footballer without extensive public detail on clubs or statistics. For context, the term professional athlete here refers to someone competing at senior levels in organised football leagues, training systems and competitions.
