□Player Comment
"I have decided to retire from professional football at the end of this season. I joined a soccer school at the age of 11 and have been able to play soccer for 22 years, which is two-thirds of my life, at FC Tokyo, and I am very happy about it.
Through good times and bad, we have been able to walk together with our fans and supporters, and you have always supported us without change. Thank you very much.
The only regret I have at FC Tokyo is not being able to win the J1 League. However, I am confident that in the near future, we will definitely win together with our fans and supporters. Please continue to support FC Tokyo and fight alongside us.
Thank you very much for all your support
