Super Shinji will always has a special place in my heart. He was my idol growing up, an inspirational Asian figure. During this era he was arguably the best Asian player. As Son Heung Min only just turned 17 and started his career at Hamburg, Kagawa already has a Bundesliga title for Dortmund. We expect him to stay for a while in Bundesliga and dominate europe, just like the way Son does nowadays, but sadly he decided to move, which arguably too early to do at that moment.
Kagawa is a modern AMF, he's not a playmaker in a traditional sense, his passing is standard at best for an AMF, but he could exploit space very well, especially in a counter pressing situation. He's a typical Klopp's midfielder, always working hard to give pressure from the front line. That's why he was loved so much by the Dortmund fans, he always seems energetic and exciting to watch. Kagawa is also a very instinctive attacker, capable of maximizing opportunities and always has a sniff of goal whenever he arrived at the right tempo. He's hardworking and technically superb, just like a typical Japanese midfielder. A very under appreciated player.
