□Kento HASHIMOTO Player Comment
"I have been living my life with pride as 'Kento HASHIMOTO of FC Tokyo' for almost 17 years since I joined FC Tokyo's soccer school at the age of 10. And since 2018, I have been wearing the number 18 of Naohiro ISHIKAWA, aiming to become a symbol of the team. However, this time, I have decided to fulfill my childhood dream of playing overseas."
I am truly grateful to the club that supported my dream of challenging overseas and the coaches who have guided me since I started playing soccer.
Looking back on my time as a professional, there were many difficulties such as tough times and regrets, but I was able to overcome them all thanks to the support of my family, teammates, staff, and fans and supporters.
It's very sad that I won't be able to meet you all at KODAIRA GRAND or Ajinomoto, but I will bring my "FC Tokyo spirit" and "blue and red spirit" that I have cultivated so far to my new destination and challenge myself!
I will do my best to make my performance reach Japan, so I would be happy if you could continue to pay attention to me!
Finally, thank you very much to everyone involved with FC Tokyo for a long time.
We sincerely hope for FC Tokyo's victory.
