A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Olympic medal.

Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 4 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for Japan across 2004 and 2008. Only Summer Games gold medals count here. Winter-only careers and single-gold athletes are out of this pack. The medal list is a public award record for Kosuke Kitajima (Q312690), not a reading of character. 2004: gold in swimming at the 2004 Summer Olympics – men's 100 metre breaststroke in competitive swimming. 2004: gold in swimming at the 2004 Summer Olympics – men's 200 metre breaststroke in competitive swimming. 2008: gold in swimming at the 2008 Summer Olympics – men's 100 metre breaststroke in competitive swimming. 2008: gold in swimming at the 2008 Summer Olympics – men's 200 metre breaststroke in competitive swimming.

The 2 of Clubs coordinate

Kosuke Kitajima was born September 22 (1982-09-22). Month 9 and day 22 give solar value 15, which is the 2 of Clubs (The Collaborative Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1982 is unused. The 2 of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Kosuke Kitajima for Japan. Quoted system copy for the 2 of Clubs, not a biography of Kosuke Kitajima: You think best with someone else in the room, and you still leave with a position of your own. You think best with others. Ideas solidify when you talk them through. You're the debater, the collaborator, the one who makes partnerships work through communication.

Kosuke Kitajima in the public record

He won gold medals at the men's 100 m and 200 m breaststroke events at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and the 2008 Summer Olympics – becoming the first and only swimmer to sweep the breaststroke events at consecutive Olympic games. Kitajima, who was born in Tokyo, was the world record holder in the 100 m breaststroke that he set at the 2008 Beijing Olympics – this mark was broken by Brenton Rickard. He was also bronze medal winner in the same Olympics in the 4×100 m medley relay. He edged out his main rival Brendan Hansen who finished fourth while Kitajima won the gold medal and set the new world record. He received four gold medals, one silver and two bronze medals in total at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympics. His most significant rival in the breaststroke was the American swimmer Brendan Hansen. They dueled at events such as the 2005 World Championships, 2004 Summer Olympics and 2003 World Championships. Kitajima set both world records for 100 m and 200 m breaststroke in the latter occasion.
