□ Personal Comment
I am Yoshito OKUBO, coming from Kawasaki Frontale. To win titles, I want to dedicate all my experience and strength to the team. I believe that in order to win titles, we need to understand what we are currently lacking and that the players, including myself, must change. I want us to share our opinions during practice and work with determination to become a strong FC Tokyo. Let's unite with everyone involved with FC Tokyo and strive to celebrate together with the supporters by winning titles. Thank you very much.
