Hasegawa represented Japan at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where he competed in the men's 55 kg class. He defeated Belarus' Elbek Tazhyieu in the preliminary round of sixteen, before losing out the quarterfinal match to Danish wrestler and two-time Olympian Håkan Nyblom, who was able to score four points in two straight periods, leaving Hasegawa without a single point.[5]
