After playing high school soccer,
This is his third year since moving on to university soccer.
What is the future you envision now?

I want to play in J1 and give people dreams.

I want to play in J1, and also give dreams to children.

Now that I'm in college, I'm constantly battling pressure. I'm guaranteed to be able to play soccer again when I graduate from high school, but once I graduate, I can't continue even if I want to. Every day is job hunting, and it feels like my livelihood depends on it. If I can't play in a match, nothing will happen, so I treat every day of practice as a battle.

A message to high school soccer club members who are working hard at club activities

First of all, being able to play soccer is not something to be taken for granted, and I want everyone to remember to be grateful because I am able to play soccer thanks to the support of my family and many other people. I also want everyone to play without any regrets. I think the championship is the culmination of three years of hard work and dedication, so I want everyone to do their best for the full 90 minutes on behalf of those who couldn't play.
