□ Player's Comment
'To everyone involved with FC Tokyo, thank you for the past 4 years. It was truly an enjoyable 4 years. I have no regrets and feel like I gave it my all. It was disappointing and frustrating to miss out on the championship in the 2019 season, but winning the Levain Cup in the 2020 season and lifting the cup with everyone is the best memory for me. I hope that Tokyo will win the J-League championship in the future. Thank you very much.'
