Hiroshi Kiyotake and Mizuki Hamada scored in the opening half for Takashi Sekizuka’s under-22 national side at Toyota Stadium, and Yuya Osako added the third on the other side of halftime.
But Japan threw a lifeline to Kuwait by allowing substitute Jaber Jazea to score what could turn out to be a crucial away goal for Maher Alshemmari’s side.
