Kenshin Kawakami (川上 憲伸, born June 22, 1975 in Tokushima) is a Japanese baseball player. He pitches for the Chunichi Dragons of the Central League. Kawakami was Rookie of the Year in 1998 as he went 14-6 with a 2.57 ERA. He helped the Dragons to the Central League Title in 1999, but lose in the Japan Series in 5 games to the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks. He has pitched a no-hitter in his professional career. In 2004, Kawakami went 17-7 and led Chunichi to the Central League Title, though they fell to the Seibu Lions in 7 games in the Japan Series. That year, Kawakami was named Central League MVP and received the Sawamura as Japan's best pitcher. Kawakami again won 17 games in 2006 and led the Dragons to the Central League title again, winning Game 1 of the Japan Series against the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters and won his second Sawamura Award.

In 2007, Kawakami helped the Dragons end a 53 championship drought as they beat the Nippon Ham Fighters in 5 games.
