Kawaguchi began in junior football before making his debut for J-League Yokohama in April 1995.
He appeared for Japan in the 1996 Olympic Games before making his full international debut against Sweden in the King's Cup tournament in February 1997 just prior to the World Cup Finals.
Kawaguchi played in all three of Japan's matches in the 1998 World Cup finals and was also a member of the team that defeated Saudi Arabia to win the Asian Cup in 2000.
After several seasons with the Yokohoma Marinos whom, he joined English First Division club Portsmouth in October 2001. He made his debut against Sheffield Wednesday in November but he struggled in England and several poor performances saw him lose his place in the team in January 2002.
He was restricted to several appearances in the reserves and his first season was ended by a training ground accident early April 2002.
He is a good shot stopper but sometimes struggles in the air.
