Masakatsu Sawa (澤昌克, Sawa Masakatsu^?, born January 12, 1983) is a Japanese football player. On 13 September 2006, he became the first Japanese goalscorer in Copa Sudamericana, scoring 1 goal for Coronel Bolognesi against Chilean club Colo-Colo.

But he refused the offer because he didn't want to lose Japanese nationality. ^[1]
