□ Personal Comment
I have had the goal of thriving at FC Tokyo from my first year as a professional until today, but I feel deeply sorry for not being able to contribute to the team due to my lack of ability. Becoming a professional soccer player in this team, I have met many wonderful players, coaches, staff, and fans/supporters, which has shaped who I am today. I want to become a soccer player who, like the players I admired and met in Tokyo, can inspire those I will meet in the future. Thank you very much for a long time.
