Kiyo Shimizu and Ryo Kiyuna won their respective women's and men's Asian Games' karate kata event golds on Saturday.
The double victory in Indonesia offered a positive start for them and their teammates ahead of the Japanese martial art's debut at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Shimizu defeated Macau's Sou Soi Lam 5-0 to give Japan's women a gold medal in the discipline for the seventh straight time since the sport was added to the continental games' program in 1994 in Hiroshima.
