Answer:

Along the Kuroshio Current, because it is carrying water north towards melting ice caps

Explanation:

The ocean currents have the tendency to be faster when they are warmer, and to be slower when they are colder. The reason for this is that the warmer water is less dense, thus it can move more quickly, while the colder water is denser, thus heavier, so it moves slower. The Kuroshio Current moves from the lower latitudes toward the higher latitudes. As it does, this ocean current is becoming colder and colder as it gets closer to the higher latitudes, so it is becoming denser, heavier, and because of it slower. Another thing that will contribute to this current's slowing down are the melting ice caps because of the climate change, as they will make the water even colder, and the Kuroshio Current will come across this cold water, so it will decrease its speed significantly.
