□Kazunori YOSHIMOTO Player Comment
"I was unable to achieve my goal of promotion in the 2018 season and I couldn't be satisfied with leaving nothing behind, so I made the decision to play for Avispa Fukuoka for another year. Although I am away from the team, I am sincerely supporting Tokyo, where I was raised, and I believe that they can win the league. I will also continue my activities as the tourism ambassador for Kodaira City, so let's liven up Kodaira City together!"
I will do my best to achieve results with Avispa Fukuoka and deliver success to everyone in Tokyo.
