□Comment from Shuto OKANIWA
"To everyone involved with FC Tokyo, long time no see. FC Tokyo, my beloved club dyed in blue and red, was everything to me. I have been indebted to the club for about nine years, including my time in the academy. Above all, I regret not being able to play in front of all of you.
I am only grateful to FC Tokyo for accepting this decision. Thank you very much to the strengthening department, including General Manager Obara, who continued to face me. I will definitely grow and come back.
"A strong and beloved player" is my favorite phrase and my eternal goal.
Let's meet again with a smile!
