In October, he participated in the Bendigo International. Throughout the competition, Ogawa maintained an impressive record, winning all his matches in straight games. A major highlight of his tournament run was his quarter-final victory over the top seed, Kuo Kuan-lin from Chinese Taipei. In the final, he faced Keisuke Fujiwara, securing the championship title with a decisive 21–18, 21–9 win.[8]

Ogawa came to the Sydney International as the men's singles champion from the Bendigo International the week before. He was looking for his second consecutive title. In the final, he faced Huang Ping-hsien from Chinese Taipei. Huang took control early, winning the first game 21–14. In the second game, Ogawa came back from a four-point deficit to win a close game 22–20. The third game was a tense battle, with the score remaining close throughout.[9] Finally, Huang prevailed and won the final game 21–14 to take the men's singles title.[10]

Ogawa participated in the 2024 Syed Modi International, his final international tournament of the year. He reached his first semifinal at this level of the tournament. In the second round, Ogawa upset the third seed, Kiran George, and continued his impressive run by defeating the eighth seed, Ayush Shetty, in the quarterfinals.[11][12] His tournament concluded with a semifinal loss against the top-seeded Lakshya Sen.[13]
