Help ID a Nishiki bike for me

Bought a old Nishiki road bike today....it is manufacturered by Kawamura and not by Giant...shows with decal on the bike

I have no idea where the Serial number is on this (wikipedia doesn't state where it is either)

Any ideas where the # might be so I can figure out the date?

I assume you checked the bottom of the bottom-bracket?

No problem! IIRC that's where the serial # on mine is, and that's where the serial # on my GT is. I assume you looked it up on a website? Have the address handy? I'm curious what model and year my Nishiki is too!
