With 100 m national record holder Abdul Hakim Sani Brown having opted out of the 200 m to focus on the 4x100 m relay Yuki Koike was Japan's best hope in the 200 m semi-finals. But it wasn't to be, as Koike finished 4th in his semi and 0.03 out of the time qualifiers in 20.46. Jun Yamashita and Kirara Shiraishi were well out of qualifying range, both clocking 20.62.
