□ Seiji KIMURA Player Comment
"I will be transferred to Kyoto Sanga F.C. on loan for the upcoming season. I have been raised in Tokyo for 7 years since junior high school, so I have some anxiety about transferring to another team, but at the same time, I have high expectations and am looking forward to it. In my first year as a professional, I only played in 3 matches and couldn't contribute much to the team, so it was a disappointing season. However, I will do my best to go to Kyoto, further grow, and show you a stronger and more resilient version of myself!"
