<p>We often hear that phrase - you need to see it, to be it. For Tokyo-born Kansei Matsuzawa, he saw it on YouTube - and is now getting ever closer, to being it - in the NFL. The 26-year-old, nicknamed the “Tokyo Toe," taught himself how to kick by watching videos online and is now riding high at college as the placekicker on the University of Hawaii football team. He's not missed a field goal in 19 attempts so far this season, and is on the verge of breaking the school's record for most field goals in a single season. Matsuzawa has been speaking to CNN World Sport’s Patrick Snell.</p>
