Yoshida playing for Japan during a match against Belgium in the round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup.

In May 2014, Yoshida was named in Japan's preliminary squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.[189] In the end, he made it to the final cut for the 23-man squad.[190] Yoshida started all three matches despite facing competitions from the centre–back and subsequently, Japan was eliminated from the tournament in the group stage, without winning any matches.[191] Despite this, he kept a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw against Greece on 20 June 2014.[192] Later in 2014, Yoshida scored his first Japan's goal in three years, as they beat Honduras 6–0 on 14 November 2014.[193]

In December 2014, Yoshida was selected as a member of the Japanese team for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup in Australia.[194] He played Japan's opener match against debutant Palestine and scored the final goal in a 4–0 win.[195] Yoshida helped Japan keep two more clean sheets to advance through to the quarter–finals.[196] However, he conceded a goal from Ali Mabkhout before Japan equalised and the match was played throughout 120 minutes; ultimately, they were eliminated after losing in penalty–shootout.[197] After the match, Yoshida acknowledged his fault for conceding a goal from the opposition team.[198]

Throughout Japan's matches in the World Cup Qualifying Round, Yoshida then scored again in a 3–0 win against Cambodia on 3 September 2015.[199] He later helped Japan keep two more clean sheets against Afghanistan and Syria.[200] Yoshida kept four more clean sheets in the World Cup Qualifying Round between 12 November 2015 and 29 March 2016.[201] During the run, he scored two goals against Singapore and Afghanistan.[202][203] Three months later on 3 June 2016, Yoshida scored a brace, scoring in the fourth and five goal, in a 7–2 win against Bulgaria.[204] The following March, he captained Japan for the first time in his career and helped the Samurai Blue beat United Arabs Emirates 2–0.[205] After the match, Yoshida said: "I have played several times in my team, but it is a big thing to be the captain of the national team. I felt it."[206] In a follow–up match against Thailand, he scored again, in a 4–0 win.[207] Three months later, on 31 August 2017, Yoshida started the whole match against Australia and helped Japan qualify for the World Cup after beating the Socceroos 2–0.[208]

Yoshida booked for handball during a match against Qatar in the AFC Asian Cup final; leading to a penalty converted successfully from the opposition team and resulting Japan losing 3–1.

On 31 May 2018, Yoshida was selected in the 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[209] It was expected once again that Yoshida will be starting in the centre–back position ahead of the tournament.[210] He played every single minute in all the group stage matches against Colombia,[211] Senegal[212] and Poland.[213] His side were knocked out of the tournament after losing 3–2 to Belgium in the round of 16 match.[214] His performance in the World Cup earned praises from the British media, such as, The Guardian and BBC Sport.[215]

In December 2018, Yoshida was one of 23 Japanese players selected for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.[216] Ahead of the tournament, he was given the captaincy once again.[217] Yoshida started the tournament as captain well when he helped Japan win 3–2 against Turkmenistan.[218] In a follow–up match against Oman, Yoshida led the side to keep a clean sheet, in a 1–0 win to advance to the knockout stage.[219] He later helped Japan keep three clean sheets that led the Samurai Blue reaching the final for the first time since 2011.[220] In the AFC Asian Cup final against Qatar, Yoshida started and captained the side, as they lost 3–1, finishing as runner–up in the process.[221] During the match, he was penalised for handball, leading Qatar to successfully convert the penalty to give the opposition team a 3–1 lead.[222] After the match, Yoshida said: "I felt that the team had a good performance in the (semi-final) match against Iran, and they felt that they were going to be able to go this way and be able to go this way. I couldn't control, and I didn't win. I feel unhappy."[223] However, Yoshida's call-up to the tournament caused squad selection problems for new Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhüttl during his absence.[224] In response, he acknowledged the risk he took by playing for Japan in the Asian Cup.[225]

Following the conclusion of the AFC Asian Cup, Yoshida didn't receive an international call–up until August.[226] He was also given the captaincy.[227] Yoshida captained the remaining matches of 2019 with clean sheets.[228] During this run, he scored his first international goal of the year, in a 6–0 win against Mongolia on 10 October 2019.[229] On 14 November 2019, Yoshida also played his 100th match for Japan against Kyrgyzstan.[230] Almost a year later, in October 2020, he was called up to the Samurai Blue squad.[231] He started four matches as captain by the end of the year and helped Japan keep three consecutive clean sheets before losing to Mexico on 17 November 2020.[232] At the beginning of 2021, Yoshida continued to retain his captaincy and helped the Samurai Blue kept another three consecutive clean sheets against South Korea, Mongolia and Myanmar.[233]

Personal life

Yoshida has two brothers: Mirei and Honami[3] He later credited his older brother, Honami, for playing an important role in his football career.[3][4] Before he was born, his name "Maya" was originally planned for a girl when his mother was pregnant.[4] But the name was kept even if it was a boy who was born.[4] Yoshida revealed on his blog on 26 September 2012 that he was married.[234] Four years later, Yoshida revealed he was a first time father when his wife gave birth to a baby daughter.[235] During his time at Southampton, Yoshida resided in Winchester.[236] After spending seven years at Southampton, Yoshida revealed in an interview with SunSport that he's a permanent resident in the United Kingdom and feels 25 per cent English.[237]

His family runs a boarding house in Nagasaki for children who cannot go to high school.[4] Growing up, Yoshida revealed he's a fan of Dragon Ball Z and had an entire collection until his Dad gave it to charity. Yoshida reflected on this, saying it helped him to think generously and give back to society.[238] In November 2007, Yoshida signed for an agency with Tetsuro Kiyooka, a FIFA Players' Agent (Sports agent), in hopes of moving to Europe. It worked when he joined VVV-Venlo, three years later after signing for Tetsuro Kiyooka.[35][34][239] Since moving to Europe, Yoshida created his personal blog, where he reflected about his experience living and playing in a different continent.[240] On every anniversary of the Atomic bombings, Yoshida, who is from Nagasaki, spoke out about the thoughts of the event.[241]

In May 2018, Yoshida published his first book titled "Unbeatable Mind".[242] In addition to speaking Japanese, Yoshida is fluent in English since he first studied the language in middle school.[55][243][244] Yoshida also studied Italian and Spanish.[245][243][246] By August 2020, Yoshida began to speak Italian fluently.[247]

On 9 August 2013, it was announced that Yoshida would be on the front cover of the Japanese Edition of FIFA 14.[248] During his Japan's career, Yoshida said he considered Atsuto Uchida as fellow competitor, yet his best friend, and is also friends with Eiji Kawashima.[249][243] Yoshida has an uncle, Tsuyoshi Shimoyanagi, who is a former professional baseball player.[250] He is also a part-owner of Soccer Samurai.[251] In August 2019, Yoshida revealed that he was pledging one percent of his salary to a pledge-based charitable movement, named Saints Foundation.[252] Two months later, Yoshida was named ambassador for the Saints' Foundation along with teammate James Ward-Prowse.[253]

In the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, Yoshida posted a message on his social media account, urging people to stay at home.[254] While the season was suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Yoshida said he exercised daily for three months in order to maintain his fitness.[255] In May 2020, Yoshida used his own money to buy 10,000 masks from Japan and deliver them to hospitals in Genoa.[256]
