□Player's Comment
"Thank you for the past 3 years. It was a great experience to be able to fight with wonderful teammates and be supported by fans and supporters. It's sad to leave the team I've grown to love, but I will continue to work hard with pride in my decision."
I want to become a player who can be supported even if I wear a different uniform, so I would like to continue to support FC Tokyo and Kazuma WATANABE.
