Kuwaki is tied with fellow Japan native Nasa Hataoka (66 on Friday) at 14-under. They are two strokes ahead of China's Xiyu Lin (66) and Japan's Mone Inami (68) and first-round leader Akie Iwai (69) at the Taiheiyo Club, Minori Course.
Kuwaki made seven birdies -- including each of the final two holes -- to cap her second bogey-free round.
"Yes, my shots are pretty steady this week. I have a lot of birdie opportunities.
