{{nihongo|'''Kazuyoshi Funaki'''|船木 和喜|Funaki Kazuyoshi}} (born 27 April 1975) is a Japanese former [[ski jumping|ski jumper]]. He ranked among the most successful sportsmen of its discipline, particularly in the 1990s. Funaki is known for his special variant of the [[V-style]], in which the body lies flatter between the skis than usual.

==Career==
Funaki began ski jumping at the age of eleven. His birthplace Yoichi is also the home of [[Yukio Kasaya]], who was a Japanese national hero with his Normal Hill victory in the [[1972 Winter Olympics]] at [[Sapporo, Hokkaido|Sapporo]]. Kasaya was also Funaki's role model.

Funaki had his first World Cup appearance on December 20, 1992 in [[Sapporo]]. His first World Cup victory was achieved on December 10, 1994 in the normal hill at [[Planica]], [[Slovenia]]. Several weeks later, he was leading the [[Four Hills Tournament]] in total tour points after the third event.  In the second part of the last event at [[Bischofshofen]], he had the longest jump of  131.5 meters, but fell during the landing - and the overall tour victory went to [[Austria]]n [[Andreas Goldberger]], and Funaki finished second.

Altogether Funaki won 15 World Cup career victories, his last on February 5, 2005 at Sapporo.  He achieved his best results in the 1997/98 season with a second rank in the World Cup rankings.  In that season he also won the [[Four Hills Tournament]].

In 1997, Funaki won the ski jumping event at the [[Holmenkollen ski jump|Holmenkollen ski festival]]. He also won the [[FIS Ski-Flying World Championships 1998]] in [[Oberstdorf]].

The high point of his career was in the [[1998 Winter Olympics|1998 Winter Olympic Games]] at [[Nagano]].  In front of his local crowd, Funaki won the individual gold medal on the individual large Hill, the team large hill gold medal, and the individual normal hill silver medal behind the [[Finland|Finn]] [[Jani Soininen]]. During those games, he became only the second person to ever achieve [[Ski jumping#Notable ski jumpers|perfect marks]] from all five judges (20 points is the highest attainable mark), following [[Toni Innauer]] who had achieved this masterpiece already in 1976 and preceding [[Sven Hannawald]] (2003), [[Hideharu Miyahira]] (2003) and [[Wolfgang Loitzl]] (2009). In honor of these achievements, he represented Asia in carrying the Olympic Flag during the opening ceremonies of the [[2002 Winter Olympics|next Winter Olympics]], in [[Salt Lake City, Utah|Salt Lake City]].

At the [[FIS Nordic World Ski Championships]], he became the world champion of the individual normal hill in 1999 at [[Ramsau am Dachstein|Ramsau]], Austria.  And together with the Japanese team, he placed 2nd in the Team large hill in 1997, 1999 and 2003.

For his ski jumping successes, Funaki received the [[Holmenkollen medal]] in 1999.

In recent times, Funaki is only moderately successful despite some opportunities for successes. In the 2004/05 season, he finished 30th in the World Cup standing. He ended his in career 2012.
