□ Personal Comment
"I have come to FC Tokyo with the goal of playing an active role from my first year as a professional until today, but I am filled with a feeling of apology for not being able to contribute to the team due to my lack of ability. I became a professional soccer player in this team and met many wonderful players, coaches, staff, and fans/supporters, which shaped who I am today. I want to become a soccer player who can make people I meet in the future think of me as someone they admire, just like the players I met and admired in Tokyo. Thank you very much for a long time."
